Aside that the new M50x comes with detachable cables and a ltd ed colour, there isn't really a big difference in the SQ. if your current M50 is in a bad state but you still like the model, by all means get the new M50x or the M50x BL ltd Ed for a fresher look.

lol I love my M50, if the SQ is the same its good enough for me. For anyone interested, you can trade in your old M50 for the new one. The blue one is slightly more exp at 186 I think and the black/white is about 171 but must go down to the office at ubi.

Why not get a DAC/AMP/DAP instead?

[Goodbye]

My ath-im03 finally arrived!

#Yippee

 

[Goodbye]

Bought IM-03 couple of weeks ago. Nice IEM for the price, very worth it. The earpiece is gigantic tho, not as comfortable as westone/shure/etc but meh 1hr is good enough for me

How much did your im-03 cost you?

I got mine from a Japanese online retailer for around SGD $400++ incl shipping charges.

 

[weng]

Stereo website stated $488. ATH got international warranty? If not abit no point buying from jap for at most few tens lesser but no warranty unless you ship back to jp.

Yes got as long as it's a genuine ath product. The warranty slip is right insai the box.

But like you said need to ship back to jp for repairs or whatnot if touch wood anything happens.

Mine was $488 comes with a Shure SRH240 (which i sold)...
ok lah.. super no regret for this cable although i've listened to much better ones but of cos it's yi fen qian yi fen huo... cant compare this with top end IEM but i'm very happy as of now with the upgraded cable as well. the connector looks cool too LOL.

Just got mine too last weekend. Stereo is having promo at 10% off RRP & can get the AT-HDC5 at a special price for any IM series purchased.

Got the last piece at their Ion branch

Lucky it fits me quite well... maybe I have big ears... lol

 

[r-federer]

10% is quite good discount. I got mine at standard RP end july with only free foam ear tips.. crap..

 

[b3nji23]

A question for the experts here...
Thinking of getting replacement silicone tips for my IM02. The stock medium tips abit too large and can't wear for long hours. Small size too small.
Currently using Sony hybrid medium size green tips. These are slightly smaller than stock mediums.
Are Ortofon silicone tips a good upgrade? If so, what size is closest to Sony hybrid medium tips?
What about UE900 silicone tips?

Thanks in advance

 

[suchaloser]

To me, the ortofon tips are good, giving slightly better soundstage and isolation.

 

[loster]

where to get the ortofon tips?

 

[ReinhartX]

Hi there! Sorry, but we do not have this replacement cable. You might want to check directly with their service centre: 6749 5686

 

[raidorz]

Anyone experience cackling noise from their IM70 or is it supposed to be normal?
