nope, that's the Qualia MDR-EXQ1. It's limited edition I believe, either that or the production has been discontinued. They cost a few times more than the ex81

I'm not very familiar with earphones since they don't really have much resale value so I dun really play with them much. But yeah, there are MANY earphones (IEMs, Canalphones, and etc) that are better than the sony. It all depends on how much you are willing to pay

nothing below RM350?
just cin cai get anything from post #9 lor
from top to bottom:

UE10pro USD900 - RM3420 min
Sensa soft 2x USD850 - RM3230 min
ES3 USD850 - RM3230 min
AT EC7 USD150 - RM570 min
B&O A8 USD140 - RM532 min
Qualia USD180 - RM684 min

where got crazy....the phone cost a few times the ipod only mar not to mention that you probably still need a portable amplifier to drive it....prepare another RM1k+ for a good one .

The most I have spent on my portable ipod setup....not including the ipod mini was Ray Samuels SR71 + Etymotic ER4...about RM2k. If I had no budget....heck I'd go for those custom IEMs right away! still play with earphones meh...

the ipod sounds really good and deserves something like that (no pun intended), but only if you are going with the "proper procedure" that is ipod -> pocketdock (or other line out) -> headamp -> headphone

what? you thought those are hearing aid for old popo?

universal dock? 3rd party ones I suppose? I think almost all dock, original or third party has true line-out. use that if you are connecting your ipod to a speaker....the headphone out is quite crappy....imho.

the first time I connected the ipod headphone out to my speaker.....it was totally disappointing.....poor dynamic range....lots of distortion and crackling sound.....and the funny thing is...the EQ doesn't work (it works but it distort stuff like hell) but if you use the line out...the EQ actually works perfectly!

mmm last time use lineout with headamp....now just plug my px100 into the headphone directly....gonna convert back to headamp + IEM soon....can;t stand the px100 already.

oh btw, if you run your ipod through a line out and then to a headamp...it would save the ipod some battery since you can now set the volume to 0 and it doesnt drive the headphone directly.

mmmm no need lar....just go http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/poc...lineout-fw.html

keep an eye there coz sometimes they give free shipping. I bought it sometime during katrina...the shipping was free...only had to pay 19usd. there was once they give out a firewire dock for free....you only need to pay for shipping.

ps: it may sound bad...but when there is some serious natural dissaster....they will give free shipping (they use the "shipping fees" to donate to the unfortunate)

actually...it is not that small.... if you are wondering how big it is....put your two tumbs parallel to each other....it's almost that wide and probably half the length.

You dun run a headphone directly from the line out....the output power of the line out would probably destroy a earphone with short exposure. You need to run the ipod to an amp(headamp/speakeramp).

EDIT: how much? dunno yet....when it's ready i will post up a thread in garage sale. it will be affordable....well this is truely something that if you can own an ipod, you wont have problem buying it

it's the same size as a credit card

i think you can only get the ety er6/6i for around RM400. I have not heard of the er6i, but the er6 sounded like crap and I sold it 2-3 days after I got it.

page #1

actually has anybody counted how long it takes for ipod to launch new models nowadays? i wanted to do it some time ago and i belive by estimation they launch new model semi annually...

earphones obviously. headphones can go up to RM20k or more....so RM3k+ for a custom IEM should be just right

RM426 is pretty ok, discountheadphone would sell them for around 110usd shipped. a used er6i is alot cheaper but not everybody likes used earphone...let alone "in" ear monitors

unfortunately...that's all it is good at...."look"

the problem is whether they are worth it or not. I didn't like the er6 one single bit, how much can the er6i deviate? as for the ety er4, tha's a different story. it's by far the best iem at <usd200 that i've tried. anytime eat up the e4 alive. if you wanan be safe, just fork out a little more for the er4.

yeah it takes time to practice using the triflange. for the mean time, maybe u just wanna use the foamies, that gives IEM n00bs the best seal. when u are used to the triflange, it's damn easy to use, just put it in, twist a little and u're done.

er6i now comes with biflange? u sure u got the er6i and not the er6?
