@Mufflertape Do you use your EX800st over ear? or wear it down? I might get the EX800st from ebay and also order a new cable for it, but I need to know if it how you wear it. So that I can tell the cable maker to remove the earhooks or not.
Over ear, as far as I know thats the only way to wear them due to the cable etc.

Well, I ordered the Tanchjim Hana instead.

I love the pair I have myself. I just ordered a aftermarket cable so we’ll see how that goes. The cable really is the worst part of it, but it works well enough. Also running dekoni tips on mine.
The tape mod is also interesting. Definitely makes a bassy IEM (though probably not quite to bass lover levels). It also gives a sense of airy-ness similar to the T2.
I ended up getting mine for I think $208. Honestly for $200 I think it’s a great IEM, but I am unsure how it stacks up to the new wave of chi-fi IEMs coming in. Especially from Moondrop
Good stuff, yea they are better than the starfield imo, but I dont know about blessing 2 or their new… illumination or whatever lol. I’d say it’s my fav along side my L3.
That will be an interesting one. Keep us posted as I can dig that set.

Will do. I will post my review on headfi and input it into my database. Since they are shipping with DHL express I will hopefully have it by next week.

I got a new cable from lunashops for the Sony MDR-EX800ST (full silver cable as well) and oh man are they are an improvement over the stock cable in terms of comfort and feel. On a side note, I almost broke the IEM trying to figure out how to remove the cable. For anyone wondering, you grab the little metal bit above the red and the blue rings and turn them. I tried pulling and twisting the entire IEM before feeling like I might break them.

Good work from linsoul. Tight fit, very clean and good fit with a preformed tripowin cable, will try with a pure copper linsoul cable without preformed hooks later. Feel much better now that I can replace cables!
Edit: copper

They will conform to the ear nicely, and most of the time they will end up elongated with part of the balloon sticking to the stem, they work very well with this IEM.

hmm check out some of my reviews at www.perrivanaudio.com but what i can say for now is that yes, the 800st does have a pretty nice Frequency response graph and other than its highs, it pretty much nails other technical variables. I would say it has one of best value when it comes to critical listening post chi fi comparisons!

nice, i will receive the hana from local distributor as well for review purposes! we can check back again till then!
Age and cost are the reason they’re not talked about today. Om headfi, if it doesn’t cost $3000+, it’s not mentioned.
These are top tier in 2022.

Yes after hearing them I’m surprised people aren’t talking about them as much. They’re truly phenomenal even for today’s standards.
Only gripe is the fit sucks

I got adapters and a 30$ 2pin cable so its fixed like the og cable but better comfort. They basically float in my ear so i can see some ear shapes maybe having issues. They are still really good to me and i am not selling them anytime soon hehe

I just got them less than 30 days ago.
I have $3000 64 audio u18s. This runs circles around it. I can’t even listen to them after listening to the ex800st.
I’m definitely not getting rid of mine, in fact I’m likely buying another pair. I want to try the mod where i remove the filters.

I will say they are the only pair that I contemplated having a spare on since they will only get tougher to find going forward. So im not far off of you on that.
