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.

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.

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.

The DDM should have arrived at Jaben by now.

HM-601 here I come.
But still no news of my DDM.

Yes sir.
End of this month, I'd order one.

It's the DDM I. AFAIK DDM II isn't out yet.
Oh, the HM601 has a low and high gain switch I think. Supposedly able to drive almost any hard to drive portable headphones.

I'm gonna get both.
How would I go jogging with a Hifiman?

Any RE0 users around here?
How does it sound. I kinda miss the sound of strong treble after a while with a DDM and PL50. Considering the price that Jaben is offering, thinking of getting it later, rather than a headphone.

Oh, and how does it pair with the HM601? I'm thinking the strong high-end might compensate for the roll off that everyone is talking about associated with Hifiman DAPs.

Is the RE0 a perfect companion to the HM-601?
I want a contrast to the DDM sound.

I can't wait to buy a Hifiman. I may need to wait for my DDM though. Right now, I have absolutely no IEM left. Sold everything but my Gumstick.

Hmmm.....then comes build quality.
But I guess it should withstand forces of running. I'm a delicate user anyway. Not one to just stuff an IEM in a pocket.

Well, RE0 here I come. I may buy both at the same time.

And change your initial target of budget.

Haha.
Well, my DDM is in Singapore for repairs.

Awww.....congratulations!!

Free Shroom EBs for everyone, woohooo!!

I wish.

The IEM looks a bit different than Westone's traditional design.
How much are they going for?

You got the early version.
I'm getting the 8GB one soon. Already paid for it, and am now waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait, although I have no IEM to test it out with ATM.

They look just a bit stubby and 'fat' compared to the 3 and 2.

Added on March 1, 2011, 10:27 pmOh, so jaben don't have 8GB yet?
So I will be getting the 2 GB la.
Oh well, no bother, I have a 16GB SD card lying around the house.

Added on March 1, 2011, 10:35 pmOh hey, and it should arrive tomorrow!

I would like to say thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you, to all the people at Jaben Malaysia. Fast and reliable. Just received my HM-601 today. I was very happy. I was restless at work because I wanted to try my baby Hifiman out.

Amazing little thing that is.

Only have my 'friend's' PL50 with me ATM(I sold it to him but I still have it with me ).
With the PL50, bass was actually a bit punchier than I expected, and that came without having to crank up the volume or any EQing(which I used to do to get a decent impact out of these). bass was tight, controlled and realistic. Electric guitars sound full, vocals are sweet. Also I can now hear subtle details that was once very hard to hear, like the singer's voice that echoes, backup singers that used to be overshadowed by instruments. It does separate all those sounds and place them really well, which makes detailing a bit easier. They say it has a rolled off high end, and I tend to agree, but not to the point of annoyance or losing in resolution. Overall it was warm and pleasant, definitely no regrets. And I'm not saying this to make myself feel better about it because of the price I paid for it. It really does sound wonderful.

And that's it. I got sick of critical listening in just a short while and started enjoying it.

Oh, I used it till it ran out of juice to make any sound, but screen was still able to be turned on. That produces a deafening shriek. It wasn't a sudden loudness, it progresses from soft to loud. Freaked me out a bit, kinda like a banshee approaching near my face. Oh and it gets warm when playing music.
