a - JAYS Two - Rs. 2190/-

Soundmagic PL-30 - Rs. 1100/-

Sennheiser PMX 60 Rs. 650/-

Audioengine:

Audio Technica M35: @ 3.6k

Impression: Very good closed cans, total vfm, soundstage is a bit closed and bas is a bit boomy, not tight, but overall 8/10(considering price).


Koss Portapro: @ 4k

Impression: Sounds awesome right of the box, no burn in required, open soundtage, tight and clear bass, blows everything sub 4k away, overall 9/10)considering price).


FiiO E6: @ 1.6k

Impression: Tiny teeny monster this is, runs for 10hrs on a 2hrs charge, boosts almost all audio gear, even portable speakers(sumonpathak tested this), improves quality a lot, opens the sound up, makes it a lot clear, overall 9.5/10(considering el cheapo price tag)


Soundmagic PL30: @ 1.3k

Impression: Very good IEMs, clear, tight sound, lots of clear bass, mids and highs are very clear and spot on, supplied buds fit very well, over the ear hoisting is very useful and makes it the most comfortable IEM ever, the weight of the IEM is distributed on your ears, so no tug on the buds itself, overall 9.2/10(considering price)


Steelseries Siberia Soundcard: @ 1.5k

Impression: Absolute beauty, clear, noise free audio, driver install in a zippy and works like a charm, takes a snap to configure, virtual 7.1 surround sound actually works good, sound sampling quality is a bit low(16bit), but nothing the FiiO E6 can't fix, software equalizer woks like a charm, overall 9.5/10(considering the pathetically low pricetag).

The most perfect aural experience for 2 months

I ordered a set of VSonic VC02 from ebay.com for about 2400/-. The retailer was in Singapore. They are astonishing quality for their price, and can safely be called the best IEM's you can get for under 15k. They also feature 'detachable cables', but I'll get to that.

You can read the review of this set here: Multi-IEM Review - 281 IEMs compared (VSonic GR07 BE and R02 Silver Added 05/15/13 p.688)

I received it within a few weeks, but one channel would not work unless I fiddled with the wire. So I sent it back, and got another one in the mail promptly. Seller was very quick to reply, and highly efficient, even though it was an international exchange.

Used them for a month. Perfect sound quality. I've never heard anything like it before. It even sounded better than the Bose IEMs I once tested. I started downloading FLAC files. Got rid of all my low bit rate mp3's. I started hearing Dream Theater like I've never heard them before. Began to plan a jogging routine, complete with music playlist. I did long rides around my city with my music. My life revolved around these buds.

Then one day, while riding with the headphones on my shoulder, the detachable head fell off. I picked up my friend 5 minutes later, who noticed the missing head. We returned to the road, and dodged buses and trucks to try spot the head on the road. All we found were rocks. Tiny rocks.

I now have 2600 Rs worth of uselessness lying on my desk. I cannot buy a headphone of this caliber again. Even Creative EP-630's sound terrible after these. And they're also over budget for me now. But then I have no budget. I cannot buy another set of headphones. I can never listen to music again. Pic related.

Sorry I had not seen this!

HD650 was purchased from eBay using some heavy discount coupons. HD598 is a bit old now (couple years) and I had purchsed it using discount then too. I bought the MX-1 from Pristine Note some time later. Now I am thinking of selling these two to get a better DAC/Amp for the HD650.

But it seems that it is not available in India . I'm thinking about a direct import or preferably pick up through some incoming friends etc.

Initially sounded a bit all bundled up. After some burn in, sounds have opened up nicely. It is actually very surprising that how much the sound improves with use . Very comfortable to listen for long hours I must say. Very value for money.

I like clear mids with noticeable bass and smooth highs.
Sound Quality: ate > es 18 > Pb
Comfort/Seal: ES18 > Pb > ATE
Build Quality: KZ ATE> Pb > ES18
VFM: Pb > ATE > es18

Recently I tried the ES18S and they felt kinda underpowered to my 2 year old ES18. So not sure if their quality is decreasing.

For the pads I got with my sr 850,

Are they comfortable? no. But still the sound is amazing.

Not as comforatble as id have liked, ears tend to heat up and after regular usage, it was filled with lint

I have got my hands on Logitech Z-5500 5.1 THX Speakers. It has satellites speakers with completely damaged cones and need serious repairs.
They are rated for 3 inch, 69w RMS @ 8 Ohms as per on paper specification. I couldn't find any direct replacement on internet and whatever is there seems super cheap at very low RMS.
I want all drivers to get repaired while keeping everything else as stock and don't mind loosing THX signature sound.
If they are beyond repair then I would prefer buying two 8 ohm 100w rms speakers (Please advice) in good MDF box ditching all 5 satellites, I don't necessarily want 5.1 setup.
Can these be repaired without loosing 80% of their sound quality? Please advice and Where should I look for. I live in New Delhi.
Right now I am using 4" full range 12w RMS 8ohm speakers as alternative and they start getting distort above 40% volumes.
Aren't there any full range 3" drivers of 60w at 8 ohms?
I found it for super dirt cheap and can't ditch it as it has optical + coax digital inputs along with analogs. I would like to go with repairing these drivers if anything such exists.

Please refer images below.

so you want to build step-by-step? sensible. many ppl go that route. look up the forum (esp its classifieds section) mentioned by @whitestar_999. you might find a good deal on a used set-up too (if you're willing to take one). its helpful, and rarely any trust-issues in seconds-dealing. most times you'll find well-kept, well-maintained stuff.

Indirectly Yes. I didn't got any replies on my questions on Z-5500 threads but there are many other things on the forum to learn for. Z-5500 is quite old now, not very much famous in 2020 so I guess people not knowing about it is common.

That forum is good for audio stuff, I remember a thread about someone fixing/comparing a 20 years old speaker(the one roadside shops in old times used to have) having better overall sound quality than recent speakers of that time when I saw the thread.

Denon X Series AVR-X1400H fits in your requirement but currently pricing is too high. Its old & I have see it going for 39000 INR on amazon around Feb 2020 just before Pandemic.
Try local dealers for some Open Box pieces available Or used piece as suggested by @GhorMaanas

In speakers Dali Zensor 7 bookshelfs[pair] @ 37k or Dali Spektor series.

How keen you are?
