I don't believe so. Amazon Japan is the best place to get them.

If you enjoy your bass and want a warmer presentation to go with the neutral M11, consider the FiiO FH5. Still one of my fave IEMs and can be had for a steal on the used market (overseas of course). The FH7 is more refined and linear, but also more neutral and brighter, so not the best match for...

Without tooting my own horn (and not sure what's in the rules or not), when you can get a mint condition IMR Aten for ~R3k on the classifieds I wouldn't be bothering with the entry-level KZ IEMs. All depends on what you're after of course.

May I also ask, what is it about the 4xx that you like so much that you want to find a solution specifically for it, instead of flipping the equation and looking to switch headphones? Just asking out of interest?

The THX amp will have much more power, balanced output, and is about as clean and resolving an amp as I've heard for less than $1000 or more. How much all these things are important to you, and whether or not they justify the price difference (especially in rands), is entirely up to you. I...

Great find, I hadn't heard of Niimbus myself until now, and having read the Head-Fi review, I'm intrigued. These likely won't get any sort of airtime in our teeny tiny head-fi community, but with any luck we'll get one or two people bringing these in for a listen. Thanks for the post.

I concur with naughty except one correction - the M11 can't receive aptx, only SBC and LDAC. It can also receive Airplay. If you're only using the Q5s to playback BT from a phone, I'd personally save my money and get the upcoming BTR5 BT receiver from FiiO, which has dual ESS dacs and a balanced...

I agree, soft cloth on the desk for when they?re not in use (a gaming mousepad in my case), and back in the box for longer term storage. I have one of those fancy bent wood stands, and in my experience they do more harm than good. A Perspex headphone stand cover is a cool idea though - could...

There?s a reason they?re out of stock. Same for the M11. FiiO has seriously raised the bar for good value high-end mobile Audio.

Looks very Bose-ish and Sony-ish. Pity it doesn?t support ?hi-res? codecs like AptX-HD and LDAC though. Bose 700 is probably the way to go, or Sony?s upcoming fourth generation 1000-series.

Don?t feel like you?re always ?compromising? just because something is affordably priced. I?d still go for the M11/FH7 combo even if I could afford a $2000 dap/IEM pairing because I?ve heard it myself and there are far better ways of spending the extra R15,000 when what you have is already...

Thanks for the specs. They really are super sensitive, super picky IEMs it seems. I?d love to give them another try on a ?matching? DAP one day. Have you tried using ifi?s IEMatch? Some users consider it essential for Andromeda. This whole ?matching? issue reminds reminds me of the HD800...

Thanks for your reply. Interesting that you mention hiss and output impedance, because that?s the first thing I tested for with the Andromeda on the M11 and there was no audible hiss even at higher volumes on high gain (the only reason Campfire - or anyone else for that matter - makes IEMs as...

Can you explain why? The M11 is one of the most transparent, neutral and resolving daps available today for less than $1000. Why would it not be a good match for the Andromeda? That doesn?t make any sense.

The FH7 are easily the best I?ve heard for any money (I?ve auditioned the Andromeda and I wouldn?t buy them over the FH7 even if they were the same price). It?s hard to compare with the HD600; they?re definitely just as - if not more - detailed, with exceptional bass (far superior to the HD600...

Very nice write-up naughty. Love how you talk through your experience blow by blow without assuming everyone here just knows how it goes. IEMs are an acquired taste, but once acquired, you quickly realise they?re capable of full-size headphone quality, and beyond, depending on how much you?re...

I wish people would measure less and listen more.

All of this goes to my earlier question: ?what?s the budget??, because ?cheap? for one person my be outlandish for another. You have so many different options, it just depends whether you?re shipping in the $20, $50, $100, $200, $300 or up to $500 segments. And I?m talking dollars because you...

What?s your budget?
