I'm not sure if the demo sets I've been listening to are faulty or not (all of them sound the same), but the Beyer XP series sound like garbage. If that's how they actually sound I think its a sin to keep recommending the XP series to people. I had a VSonic VSD3S and they sound a lot better.

**edit
Sorry VagueConcerns , didn't mean to attack your suggestion there, I just think the XP Series sound really bad, and my girlfriend says the same thing. All three of the models, XP1, 2, 3, they all sound bad. and people shouldn't spend anywhere over RM50 for that kind of sound.

Hi, im looking for a good IEM. Not an audiophiles but i do appreciate good SQ.

- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM

Currently using Byerdynamics XP2 but somehow i feel that my dead soundmagic PL21 sounds better. So im looking for an upgrade for my XP2. Thinking of IM50 and KC06A. Thought pls?

Guys i going to swinburne sarawak to study so i trying to find a nice headphones to replace my Altec Lansing Vs4121

Your rig: Lenovo Z500 / Iphone5s with equalizer tweak

- File format used in your source: 320kbps or 128kbps mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: Most music on Billboards, J-Pop,J-rock, Trance, Chinese Music(Those sibeh emo songs like 泡沫 haha)
- Headphone/ earphone type: Closed(Cuz i dont want other ppl hearing me) or earphones
- Budget: Rm500 or below. But basically its must a value for money or best bang for the buck headphone ：D

I basically hear different gernes of song depending on my mood. But mostly Anime music, Chinese music, English songs(From anaconda to ne-yo ), and Trance or Chillax music(Bass but chill)  So im trying to find a bassy headphones with great clarity. I've tried the ATH-M40x and it was almost perfect just that the bass wasnt strong enough.

thx for your suggestions. How bout vsd3s vs havi b3 pro1?

Thats why im confuse which one to pick, end up buying b3 from LMUE. waiting parcel to arrive. Im not familiar with all thr jargons that they use, so i just trust my instinct.

Hi guys, when I turn up and down the volume knob, there is quite a audible hiss on the left side of ATH-IM 02. It is not present on the right side of the same IEM.

The hiss only happens in the left side only when there is music playing and when I turn the volume knob up and down. If there is no music playing and I turn the volume knob, there is no hiss whatsoever on both sides.

I tried to change the cable with the replacement cable but the result is the same. My ATH-IM 02 is connected to Fiio E10K.

Is this normal?

UPDATE: I just tested the Fiio E10K with my brother's Shure SE215 and can confirm that the situation is the same. There is audible hiss in the left side but not the right side when turning the volume knob on E10K.

Does this fall under "defects in materials and materials" and would I be able to claim warranty through Fiio?

Hi guys.. anyone here own audio technica im70, ostry kc06a, shure 215? How do they sound compared to each other?or maybe other iem better in that price range? Btw i've been using my sony ex90 for bout 4years and its broken now.. any iem with that sound signature is the best for me.. but i cant find any.. do advise me thanks
