QUOTE(boomber @ Jan 9 2011, 02:35 PM) Maybe you can audit it at Jaben, music is very personal and we might have different point of view. Wait, are you replying my post? Seems like it. One thing is, DBA-02 is very sensitive to hissing, you better test it with your music collection before you go for it. It is a very detail IEM indeed. Yeah, I changed my mine about the DBA-02 when I also read that it is prone to hissing. I'm looking for something a little bright. Although I do look for a particular sound sig, I actually don't mind at all if its the exact opposite of what I'm looking for, as long as it sounds good. I do look for adequate, articulate and fast bass, but if you throw at me a mid-rich and sparkly ones, I wouldn't mind at all. In fact I can find stuff in my music collection that will suit it. Oh and I don't mind diff POV, as long as you say it's good, they might as well be for me. I'm not THAT critical, I just enjoy music at a quality. Part of the enjoyment of being in this hobby is discovery. You can say I'm not an audio purist, but an audio explorer. I like hearing variety, that's why I'm looking for 2 COMPLETELY different sounds. I'm actually looking for a contrast of DDM, if that helps. So which represents a BA driver sig the most? Who among them defines what a BA is? This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Jan 9 2011, 02:47 PM |

Very expensive indeed. I think the price is close to a Future Sonics custom.

I want to ask also.
What IEM can give good bass(i.e punchy but not muddy) at low volumes? I'm getting sick of pumping out volume to get bass. I see Future Sonics can do it but I want to know of other alternatives, reviews on these are rather mixed(some say good bass with only slightly lacking detail, some say muddy and lack soundstage, some say brings out hidden details ) And preferably under RM1000.

QUOTE(wongpeter @ Jan 11 2011, 11:44 AM) Are the above IEM's in the RM1K range and if they are, is the Sony MDR-EX700SL (I thought they got a good reputation for bass) @RM1,099.00 totally a non-contender? The ones mentioned are dual drivers. The Sony has only a single driver but if I'm not mistaken, is the largest IEM driver in the world. I've tested it once. It does have a fun thumping bass, but mid-high freq tends to be a bit harsh and slightly piercing. It's a new unit out of a package so dunno how it'll perform after burn-in. Reviews all over state that it does improve but the harshness remains.I am just curious not that I can afford a RM1K headphone. Thanks for any info. I thought it was a bit overpriced, since you can get dual-drivers for a cheaper price, and in the case of the DDM, almost half the price. Added on January 11, 2011, 6:44 pmAiyak, just looked at SM2's included accessories. I'd rather ditch the cleaning tool kit for a bit more tips choices. So that's out.

Why not try headphones, maybe with an amp combo?

Owh.....then there;s just none other that I can think of. Maybe you can try Earsonics SM3 but I'm guessing you're not going go for another similar product since you've gone through three triple drivers(and one of them is a custom).
So......that just leaves an 8-driver custom in my list. |

Heheeh, decided to buy a second hand DDM while waiting for the newer version to hit our shores. Hopefully it'll arrive this week.

QUOTE(walabies @ Jan 25 2011, 07:16 AM) I am guessing that might be the firmware problem. If u can't flash it do bring and let us do them. That auction was awesome!by the way guys we have an auction today! Don't forget to attend it and bring home a lot of goodies. Details can be found on headjam forum Got myself a Hippo Box+. But need to wait at least a week before I can pay....no money already. |

Didn't get as low as I want to, but still pretty good. RM255.
Everyone were like rabid predators, going after the amp! This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Jan 26 2011, 02:17 AM |

Hahaha.....well, I just got lucky then didn't I?
There's another auction later they say.....I can't possibly join then since I've already maxed out my expenditures for audio stuff, and I have a final semester project to think of.....and the new version of DDM. |
