AK120 appreciation thread

[Taeyeonie]

If AK120 made in China, I might have to consider..................

Tiongs are all over the world leh
Made in Japan or Korea also can have tiong workers in their factory.

Ya, I like to listen to Kpop Ballad....................

Haha i love kpop Ballad too!

I doubt they have it. I asked before already.

I think the QA is more strict although they also have tiong workers.

Always heard so much bad things about China product.

Don't know, I just like the feel of the song.

Then see how, I think the UE sound signature is to my liking.

UE18Pro is one of the most expensive 6 drivers out in the market lol. USD1350 excluding shipping charges & ear impressions. Don't even know how good they sound as no demo are available in singapore.

Those who really hoot is really..



Making a big jump.

I tried quite a number of ear phone, the FAD Heaven IV, Shure 535, Fitear 335, Fitear 435 and all no match for the 435.

It also better than my ACS T1.

The sound is very very reveal and balance. The treble is sparkling and the clarity is very very good. It's like opening out to u as if u are listening to a concert and it's very transparent.

U go down and try out. That piece belong to Wilson one.

It's about $3K............................

I also tested the UE900 and the IE800 today at Stereo and prefer the UE900. I feel that the IE800 got no treble...................... I only hear the mid bass.....................

The FAD is also really good but heard it's 40% cheaper if u get in Japan and it's flagship UIEM is even more ex than the K3003...................

ie800 no treble?? hmm... too much bass i can understand, but no treble? the treble is the only thing stopping me from getting it. i thought it has too much of it.

imo the ue900 treble probably only half of ie800.

 

[Phen8210]

Didn't like.the treble of ie800 too, hated the shell design also.. can literally push half of the shell in my ear lolz..

The treble is piercing or extensive rather than no treble. Point in case, the treble is believed to be thin as well, which may disillusion some user to think it doesn't exists

However adding a damper, non-woven fiber helps tone down the treble. Somehow the damper reduces some of the bass as well.M.R.O.: Sennheiser IE800

yeah thinnish treble is what i felt too, just like what one of the reviewer in head-fi described... drumsticks sound like pencils, applause sounds like crushing cellophane. lots of treble but little body in it.

 

[Phen8210]

Yeah, it was pretty well extended n detailed. But the tonality sux.

It's pretty pricey if i rmb correctly..

[weng]

K3003, and ue400

 

[Rubick]

i tink the ie800 bass too overwhelming liao. cover over the mids imo.
tt is y no go for me.
i prefer the um3x and sm3v2 for universal over tt.
