Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,123 posts Joined: Sep 2008 From: OUG - Muhibbah LRT	QUOTE(nordingh @ Mar 10 2012, 10:26 PM) I test this today. This TDK BA 200 can give a balance on low and high, it's dual BA anyway. I get a good bass, which better than Feel Pro 900. Treble sounded just right which no high pitch. Mid a little muddy but for someone like me who more on rock and fast music, I don't care much about singer's voice. The size, it's really small for dual BA, 1st time I saw it, I never think it's was dual BA. Really comfort for long use. It's come with a set of Comply foam too. Like A-Jays, this one come with flat cable too. If you like to hang your DAP on your neck, the cable is short and won't be messy. Cable extender is provided for someone who need to use with PC or normal amp. I can recommended this one to anyone who want to buy dual BA. Dose the size same with q-JAYS?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,123 posts Joined: Sep 2008 From: OUG - Muhibbah LRT	QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Jun 2 2012, 08:59 AM) One of the things that separates the TDK and the JVC is that the JVC has no crossover. The JVC is a simpler IEM, employing two small dynamics that are constructed differently so one driver favours a different frequency range than the other. The drivers actually works at about the same phase, and the sound overlaps. The TDK uses traditional crossovers and BA drivers, making them technically more complex (and technically superior) and should also be more expensive. For the tech it offers, the TDK is cheap. One of the cheapest, if not the cheapest dual BA driver IEM that is actually good enough to recommend (according to many who tested it). @cyloh: Apart from SenQ, Jaben also has them, at a higher price though. brainwavz B2 RM550 @ LYN calmshot and sony xba 2 also RM499.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,123 posts Joined: Sep 2008 From: OUG - Muhibbah LRT	QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jul 6 2012, 07:42 PM) Hey guys. It's been a while. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Anyhows, after being satisfied with the FA Tandem for my easy listening pleasure for the past 6 months since my Eterna V2 broke (replacing the Eterna V1 before it, which broke as well), my Tandem, well, broke. The cheapo that I was, I bought it from Frogbeats UK - so now I have to ship it back. Which is a problem because I don't really know where the stock pouch and eartips are. And even if I did find them, I'd have to wait a few weeks to get it shipped back to the UK and back for replacement. Thus my hunt for a stopgap IEM began. No more FAs though, I'm through with them breaking on me. After considering the Brainwavs M4, the Shrooms EB, the JVC FXT90, the Atrios and the VB (haha what a range), I ended up with the TDK EB950, thanks to Tai's review (as always, a great reference). Funnily enough, he ranked it higher than the IEM it was supposed to stopgap for (the Tandem); and I tend to agree. In a way, the EB950 reminded me of the Eterna V1 in how it gets me rocking. I dare say it's more suited for me then the FXT90 (which I auditioned Dec last year in Akihabara, compared to the Tandem, and didn't wow me enough to buy). And by suited I mean that it's enjoyable and musical - techical IEMs with too much detail and resolving power give me a headache after extended use (which was why I sold my TripFi after getting the Eterna V1, and prolly why I prefer the tame Tandem over the technically more proficient FXT90). TL;DR. Summary: My FA Tandem broke so I got a TDK EB950 to stop gap until I get a replacement unit - but I'm pleasently surprised at the little TDK that could. In short, the TDK EB950 is a great IEM if you're looking for something fun and musical (aka mid and bass centric, not so much details), and like getting swept away by the music. Truth is, the FXT90 is better technically, the VB has more bass (especially sub-bass), the Eterna V1 is (slightly) more "musically rounded" (aka coherent, for a lack of a better word) and the Tandem is smoother all around (almost to the point of being boring). But if you want something split in the middle between these four, for less than RM300 (with iPhone mic and controls to boot) then you might wanna take a look at the EB950. Note the built-wise, it really feels plasticky, flimsy and not very confidence inspiring. The cable also feels cheap-ish, and the drivers flex like heck in my ears during insertion. As an result, it's light and barely noticeable in my ears though. Now using with my shitty source (my SGS2 - I lost my Fuze charging cable). And even then it sounds engaging to my ears, especially with my favourite Sony Hybrid tips. Now I have to find my Fuze charging wire and see if it's as good on a "okay" source. Not bad TDK. Now lets see if it can last the distance - considering both my two previous Eternas and the Tandem broke after about 6 months of use on average. Added on July 7, 2012, 9:03 pmFound out that my Fuze still had like 5% battery left, and tested the hell outta it with the EB950. Not bad, the bass is tamer and details better from the Fuze. Also went and tested the Final Audio Adagio II and SE215 - and walked away glad I got the EB on impulse lol. The Adagio had mid suckout (it sounded much less forward) and sounded a bit hollow on my shitty source (the SGS2 - Fuze FINALLY died); and the SE215 is, for the lack of a better word, sounded "plain" (as in it does everything OK but is not quite as engaging). Built is hella better on both though, though for now the EB950 is still the quite the plastic fantastic - especially at the "slightly less than RM300" list price. A shame it's not quite as popular out here lol, not even as a FOTM. Oh, and I went back to the in-box Complys for the comfort.
