For the most part, these earphones were only used for testing purpose. I have dedicated earphones for my day to day requirement.

Man , are you an AudioPhile ??? Thats a pretty nice collection of IEMs.
I might consider buying one of those under 1k.
Btw , can you ship them to Delhi ?? I was thinking about Xears one for 800INr , and the BrainWavz one for 400INr.
Was looking for something bass rich for my friend.

I have TwinWoofer , but accidently the input jack got busted , so had to manually cut the wire and fix it with another input jack. So the wire looks bad due to tapes.

Shipping included in price. A161P is the king of clarity with good bass. Second to that is RE-0 with tad less sub-bass. Both stay neutral in presentation. No part of frequency is more dominating.

Not an audiophile but I have heard a good variety and found the one just right for me at the moment.

Ultraphile is bassy and distant sounding. Relaxed presentation.

Brainwavz Beta is balanced and open sounding.

@Faun, how would you rate TFTA 21VS against Hippo VB?
Faun
Faun #10
Nov 14, 2012 at 12:22 AM
^^It's the bassiest IEM I have. Though I had Hippo VB with me before but I can't say from memory if its bass was larger in body. But what i remember is that Hippo VB had more sub bass but mid bass seems to be greater in TFTA. However, midrange clarity gets a hit due to the compromise.

I'll take the XE200PRO!!!!
Are the highs crisp? I dont like bright, sharp highs (the reason I'm not going with the RE0 right not, but dude, RE0 for 2k is a STEAL!!!)

Thanks for allowing other to experience audio nirvana.

If i had the cash, I'd buy the RE0 too :(

Yeah, highs are crispy but can't say if you will find these tad bit bright. These are aggressive in presentation, not for relaxed listening.

Do you have a reference for your level of sharp highs as everyone have different sensitivity ?

Put me in for RE0 ...

RE-0 is on hold as of now.

Faun , instead of the Xears Ultraphile I will like to book the Dunu Dn-16 Hephaes alongwith the Brainwavz.
Actually I might consider paying 600 more for a richer sound experience.
I beleive no one has booked Dunu yet .

Also, I am considering selling RE272 and Ortofon e-Q5. If anyone interested then PM me the price. I'll see if the price is reasonable then I may sell these too.

And a Sansa FUZE+ too. 16GB version.

No other Unique looking IEM like DN-16.

Do u have any of these -
Brainwavz M5,
Vsonic GR02 bass or GR06,
Rock it sounds R-20 or R30,
Astrotec AM-90
?
If so, do u intend on selling any of em ?

PS - was planning to buy GR06 but wont do so if I find it somewhere on the forums.
Also, I had the AM-90 but some ass stole it.

I was planning to start a Vsonic collection. I am about to order a GR02 bass this weekend :)
And If I like it GR06 is sure to follow.


Do you recommend sticking with AM-90 instead ?
If so,Why ?

And can u share all the IEMs apart from the ones u mentioned in this thread that you re willing to sell :p
Preferably something between 1-2.5k ?

If you liked AM-90 then better look for other balanced armatures.

For the time, I have DUNU DN-18, which I have not listed for sale yet.

How's GR02 Bass edition? A review ?

I wonder why deliveries to India are delayed. I ordered it on 23rd. Delivery was expected between 28th and 4th.
Tomorrow is 4th (or today by the clock) I just hope I lay my hands on it tomorrow.

Faun ... I am taking one of the DN-18 (if u are willing to sell it) or the E30 ....
Which one do u think would suit a metalhead ?
I need somethink that has good lows/bass. However at the same time, it should not be so strong so as to suppress the highs or the mids. And most impt of all, I would like the one which is more durable. :)
AFAIK, the dunnu IEMs are better known for durability and the E30 is more balanced.

PM me how to send u the money after u ve suggested one out of the two which suits me better :)
Faun
Faun #40
Dec 5, 2012 at 2:14 AM
What was the mode of shipment ? Speed post or normal post or fedex etc ?

E30 is better in sound quality according to my preference as it's balanced. DN-18 is warmer and better built.
Thetrueblueviking
Dec 5, 2012 at 2:59 AM
I had ordered it from lendmeurears on ebay. They shipped it via singapore post.
Their site offers shipment details only till the shipment leaves Singapore.
After that, you have to track it using their domestic sites, one of which aint available in India.

Which one of the two is currently in a better condition and would last more as in which one has sturdy cable ? And better strain relief at the Y joint ?

I think it would be the DN-18, correct ?

Book it for me. PM me the amount (of-course be generous while u do so :D) and all the payment methods.

But again - why is the xe200 is still on hold ?

^I wish I could :p

The singaporepost shows that my GR02 reached India on 28th. Its been a week since 28th and I wonder, if the parcel can travel from Singapore to India in 4 days, why the hell is it taking so long to deliver within India.
Faun
Faun #44
Dec 5, 2012 at 8:21 PM
^^It will be better if you inquire about the parcel from India Post. I have lost many parcels without tracking numbers. There is high rate of theft of parcels in India.
Always made it a point to order via EMS speed post.

I have another IEM for sale. Not really wanted to put them up for sale but quick cash will help my camera upgrade. It's HiSound Pop. It's presentation is like listening to wide-stage dolby concert. Not suited for all genres but bass is the main point and wooden resonance is pretty charming to me.

It seems there is some problem with XE200PRO as doomgiver notified me. Won't be able to sell that. Refunding him the amount or trade for Popo.

DN-18 has better build quality.

Thetrueblueviking
Dec 10, 2012 at 1:27 AM
Why are you sending money by speed post ? It's kind of risky.
Because I am not aquainted with other methods (standard deposit,e-com)
And I thought some good postal agency could be trusted :p

Dec 10, 2012 at 1:01 PM
Money transfer via speed post may not be possible as per postage rules. And the problem will be that there are chances that I may not get the parcel or it may take weeks. Indian post is not much reliable.

You can deposit via your bank branch too. Doomgiver can give you some idea. But IMO online neft transfer is the easiest way if you have netbanking enabled.
Thetrueblueviking
Dec 10, 2012 at 5:10 PM

pretty nice collection there i see:thumbs:. you sure must be an audiophile. this audio thingy is quite an addiction and is now getting me into its whirlpool :?.
do you have anything for sale which would be an upgrade over the e30? i have it and i love its open airy sound.
