have u tried Atomic Floyd TwisJax before? cause before i tried that at Jaben i quite like the DDM. but now confused ady. cause it sounds much nicer out of the box. but surely ur DDM is burned rite? how long did u burn and what r the improvements u noticed from time to time?

yuheng,when u going to carry enyo cable for tf10?

I bought it from blegh. So it was fully burned in when I got it.
There is still a minor problem of incoherency though. They say it should go away at around 1000 hours.

I don't have it now. Right now the IEM is in a brown-paper packaging, 2 layers of bubble wrap, my old Hippo Gumstick foam box, in an airplane, 10 000 metres in the air, over the South China Sea, on its way to Jaben Malaysia for repairs.
See you in a while, DDM.

u can try:

Denon C551
Klipsch Custom 1
Klipsch S4
Sherwood SE777

i have the Custom 1 and C551. both have different signature sound. actually im also having a hard time to choose when i bought the C551 between all of those listed. all of them also nice plus all of that are in ur price range too! happy choosing!

sad to hear that.. btw how much did u bought it? im sure after burn in the sound is much more organize rather than the out of the box rite. hmm..so hard to decide which one to buy rite now.

The bass was a bit out of place in some pieces of music. Someone pointed out that that was the incoherency. Sounds great still though.

I bought from blegh for RM450. Yeah the bass got a bit better, more with the music over time. I listen with it for around 5 hours a day. It's so relaxing.

Hmm... I should have compared T1 and T5P there. Have Jaben tested T1 & T5P under same circumstances? T5P bass is too plain...

Now only PC soundcard can bring the bass out. AVR also cannot. ipod and all other mobile players all cannot. This defeats the purpose of mobility.

yeah the bass can be weird once in a while but it come an goes through time...
When I part with the DDM, it was around 500-1000 hours.. cant give any exact time since i didnt bother counting after 100 but the sound is still improving

Ur brain need to adjust also.. changing from the PL-50 which has the opposite signature

if u were to choose between :

Denon C551
Klipsch Custom 1
Klipsch S4
Sherwood SE777
Hippo VB
a-Jays 3
Crossroad Quattro

which 1 would be the decent choice?
will be going down jaben to get 1 this weekend if possible.

Hehe, yeah, listening to my PL50 right now.
I'm missing the bass of the DDM already. The PL50 is warm but without the bass impact.

right now i have the Custom 1 and C551. but the Custom 1 purchased long time ago and spoiled already.
and i had a hard time choosing between C551, S4, and SE777.
because got really different sound signature. it took me a few hours at jaben.

in this case,u really have to listen for urself,according to ur songs preference.
the SE777 is the only BA driver if im not mistaken in this range.
i've tried all of the list u given except CrossRoad Quattro.
IMHO, Hippo VB and A-Jays 3 still a bit bassy for me. VB is warmer than A-Jays from what i've tried.
but VB can adjust the bass level.
the SE777 is the most bright in all of this list.

Klipsch Custom 1 and S4,the signature sound is almost the same. S4 has tighter bass than the Custom 1.
C551 is a bit bassy than those 2 300 range iem, S4 and SE777.
but still u can get the details after burn in.

this is just my point of view. u really have to try for urself at jaben bro.
make sure to bring ur own source and credit card for emergency. haha.

just my 0.0002 cent.

If love to listen stacey Kent 's songs, budget around rm600-500, which to go for? This time helping fren to ask

headphone or earphone?

if earphone,u can try Radius DDM,or Audio Technica CKM90?

if headphone,uhm. MS1 maybe? or Marshall Major Headphone.

need others opinion too.

Headphone or iem also can
Wanna listen in a very silent place with a very clear and detail from vocals and instruments .

You mean you're listening in a quiet place or you require silence fromt he IEM/headphone?

Well, if you want isolation, the DDM is a bad choice. But vocals and instruments(especially string instruments) sounds marvelous. Also bass, from kick drums and double bass or any bass sounds awesome!
Female vocals have a little less excitement though with these.

You want something that's focused in the mids to highs. The DDM is focused on the lows to mids.

I dunno anything with headphones. Never a fan but I may venture into it.

thx for the detail mate.
im expected to be poisoned once enter there. lol

What is low tO mid and mid to high?

well, low = bass section of the song, low frequency area.
mid = vocal section of the song , medium frequency.
high = high frequency, usually the cymbals playing.

Just a rough idea of what it means.

Add something,
Low is the bass section that's correct,
Mid is the meat of of the whole music, instrumentation, vocals are coming out from here.
High is the treble of music, the details of it.

Liked the DDM sound as well, but fitting is an issue for me

Hi.. i have 1 simple question..
