Wahaha, was waiting for somebody to bring in the PL11s (AND the NuForce NE-7M, but that's a diff story altogether)... biggrin.gif

Wondering if somebody can do a comparison between these and the Bijous... Maybe if nobody up to the task I'll "pejam mata" and part with some of me own money... biggrin.gif

P.S. Any news of a 2nd Lear LE01 bulk, mate? Missed the last one... sweat.gif

Have received the PL11... Here's the initial review (keep in mind, it's a battle between a RM60 and RM170 IEM, there's a RM90 gap here) from a tone deaf basshead
+ his (supposedly) crappy Nokia 5800... biggrin.gif

Initial testing with my Nokia Tube after 4-5 hours of burn in - Not bad at all for a RM60 IEM, kicks my old HPM-70's backside, that's for sure.

Although it loses to the Bijou 3 in terms of bass quantity and control - bass sounds a bit distorted and flabby with the EQ settings I'm using right now in comparison to the Bijous (and even then, my Bijou's are probably well past the 150 hour burn-in mark, not really fair comparison)... biggrin.gif

In terms of Build Quality, I'm quite surprised, it's NOT quite as cheapo as I'd imagine. Although a bit disappointed it came with a Y-Wire rather then a J-Wire (POI boss)... In terms of the quality, the wire's softer then the ones on the Bijou, and lighter + a straight jack vs the angled one on the Bijous... Just hope it doesn't spoil easily... sweat.gif

I like the shirt clip design, though!

The eartip casing is metal+plastic with a METAL earwax filter summore (vs the crap fibre mesh I got with me Bijous), great... Although the plastic parts feel a bit creaky (oh well, even my un-creaky Bijous turned loose on me in the end)... thumbup.gif

And the sales package ain't shabby too: You get your usual earbuds assortment + a Shure Olive copy that works quite well + cable tidy (using with the Bijou right now, the hippowarp not practical to shorten the wire) + pouch... Not bad for a RM60 IEM... thumbup.gif

So, my initial verdict: FOR NOW, it's great as a backup IEM for me (AND the bijous stay on the Tube)... Shame I don't have an EP-630 to compare to... sweat.gif

But the wonders that some burn in can induce can never be underestimated! Lets see how this thing evolves... thumbup.gif

@GodLuvSxS: Great service mate... Order yesterday arrive today, I can only give three thumbs up for that man!

Hi bro, give the PL11 more burn in, this dude shares his experience here tongue.gif

I guess you would be as happy as him after some decent burn in  brows.gif Hope to see further review from you

Roger that, anyhow it's ok as it is..

About the LEFT/RIGHT marking, FINALLY found it, really small raised letters on the plastic stress relief... Will edit review accordingly... sweat.gif
