Want to ask a few sifus here...

Audia-Technica ES700 or the WS77? Or should I get the AKG K701? (Amazon is doing a promo and the price is )

- my rig: Nova1

- What type of usage: Purely music

- File format used in your source : Mostly lossless but have a few mp3

- Genre of music you listen to: Everything from rock to pop, techno, heavy vocals and even some classical.

- Headphone: Prefer IEMs

- Other requirements (if any) : Fun sound sig. (My old IEMs are TF10s with Arete cables, so something similar?) Durable cables. (Volume control is an extra. )


Budget: RM800~ is fine


My old IEMs are still fine, but the Arete cables were faulty and I had to send it back and now I'm without music whenever I travel. Decided to get another pair as an alternative/back-up. Any suggestions are welcome.

They sound interesting.

Am also considering Yamaha EPH100 and Vsonic GR07. Does anyone here know how they compare to each other?

Try Beyerdynamics X1/2/3 IEMs, RM199 from Jaben. You'll have to decide if you want bass or treble or balance since the 3 models do perform differently.


Sidenote, has anyone done a Custom ear impression from Clarisound? What do I need to tell them if I'm doing to them for CIEMs, just do an impression up to the second bend?

Thanks. Decided to try some customs to see how I like the snug fit, nothing fancy, just 2 BA from Cosmic Ears.

And OMG you have Kaedes!

Will do. Will probably get the impressions done this weekend.


4-Flat Kaedes look amazing. I've tried the Sui, but I've been told that Keades just does everything better. Waiting to see how Donguri sounds.

GAWD these look beautiful C&M Tonal Earphones 2013

Each to his own I guess. I really love the timber finish, especially the Classicals, kinda reminds me of the Flat-4 Kaedes.

Etymotic HF5 or Yamaha EPH100SL.

Would have preferred the RE-400 myself but good choice nonetheless!

Klipsh S4, JVC HA-FX3X and the GR02 Bass Edition. All are good well-rounders and around your budget.

JV's new "Esnsy" line of IEMs and Headphones:

Would definitely chip in on bulk buy for those IEMs.

Would be anyone be interested in a bulkbuy for TPeos H-200s?

The speakers?

Slightly over your budget but look into the VSonic VSD1. Good performance to price ratio.

HifiMan Re-Zero or Re-400
Sony MDR600
TPeos H-100. (Get them from Mellow Works in SG)

Take your pick.

Edit: Missed requirements. Above are based on sound and built quality alone.

For volume controls, try Sony XBA-2 or 3 (IP ver)

Probably one of the best IEMs and really well received in head-fi right now: T-Peos H-200.

Great versatile sound sig, detachable cable. Get them from Mellow Works Studio. Even with FedEx delivery it's only slightly above 700.

JVC HA-SZ1000. Looks awesome and will make your mind rattle with the SQ.

for the 1000 model, it's around RM570 if you get it from Amazon.jp. not including shipping, of course.

a little eye-candy.

Pretty sure liquidgal sells Hifiman. Also, check out Vsonic VSD1, good bang for buck.
