IEM discussion thread (Part 1)

[rattlingblanketwoman]

It’s not going to be easy to stomach sending that much money to Hiby for an IEM… that’s not where their strength has lain as of yet.

What do you folks think is a fair price for a mint set of og EJ07’s?..

[Ohmboy]

[SoundEater]

This is a complicated question. But I think around $650 is fine!

[Ohmboy]

@SoundEater

This is a complicated question

How so?

So if I can snag that set for say £450 then it should be a good deal?

I’ve always been interested in this set…curiosity killed the cat or at least his bank balance

[domq422]

I totally misread mint for mini …. It’s still early, don’t @me. But honestly I’d say 450 is a solid price, even if it isn’t USD.

[Ohmboy]

@domq422

even if it isn’t USD.

Aye it be GBP so circa $560 and I don’t see many of them on the used market here in the UK.

[SoundEater]

$560 is a good price. But I think that a new one should not be sold for 800 dollars, that is a very high price. In my opinion, a new one should be priced around $650-700, and a used one at most $500-550. That’s why I said it’s a complicated question!

Gotcha and thanks

@SoundEater

So what new sets have the same characteristics of the og EJ07?..I don’t want sets with boosted fq responses (I already have them) in that price point?

[SoundEater]

I too have always been curious about EJ OG, about that infamous soundstage. But… maybe I will never buy them, because there is no second-hand market for them here, new ones are very expensive.

[SoundEater]

That’s right. Maybe that’s why they’re holding on to this price.

[Sonofholhorse]

They may ask more, but I think $500-600 is a good price, with <$500 being a friendly price.

[Kron]

Uk market is mostly either overpriced compared to the US or you get crazy good ebay auction deals on non speaker gear Availability of second hand stuff is usually pretty bad too

[GooberBM]

The discovery thread!

We’ve got a graph for the Hidizs MS5. Hmm?

[Ohmboy]

@Sonofholhorse

<$500 being a friendly price.

Yep they declined a $500 offer

[domq422]

I’d take a pair of OG EJs for around that price. Tried em at CanJam and they are what everyone says they are. Very neutral with a large sound stage and tbh, an addicting sound sig. at least to me. I hope that one day I’ll grab an opportunity to hear them in a better environment, but even on the loud showroom floor, I felt that they were special.

[domq422]

Very unique, and very V-Shaped. What are your thoughts? I know you were eyeing them before that price tag revealed itself.

[Ohmboy]

@domq422

I felt that they were special.

$550 special? lol
