The best headphones I've used were the Shure SE215's. They sound pretty good, but the best thing about them is the design. The cable is really thick and tough, has virtually no microphonics, and can be replaced.

Lately I tried out the Narmoo B2M earphones. The neat thing about them is that they are dual driver dynamic drivers.

They sound pretty good is all I can really say. Very good bass but not flabby.

the tuning options are cool. sub-bass, bass and mids/highs all get 3 choices - High amount - Medium Amount - Low amount.

i get amazing clarity and detail along with some real nice bass.

i use the Red filter for sub-bass which means high sub-bass
i use the Gray filter for bass which means average bass
i use the Green nozzle for mids/highs which means most amount of detail in mids/highs.


they sound quite similar to the Dunu 2KJ's with that configuration but with fuller mids. sometimes i can't pick a winner when i A/B them.

a silver cable is coming out for the FLC8S's soon as well.

only issue i have is the stock cable is a little short for at home use. it's fine for portable use with your phone in your pocket, etc..

highly recommended.
Do you see this pair keeping you content and happy with its sound quality for basically forever?

nothing is forever in this hobby:)

but i do see myself with these for a long time. well until i justify CIEM's. right now i am building a new desktop pc and my at home music setup so that wont be for awhile.

i bought the Beyer T90's to go along with my HD600's, a Burson Soloist SL Desktop Amp & a Schiit Bitfrost Multibit Desktop DAC.

Oh yeah, do you feel like an amp is required with the FLC8S when listening from a mobile device? Which amp do you use?
