I have the original A151 with no inline mic and love them. As the reviews have stated, these are not for bass heads. But mids and highs are great. The bass does come out more if paired with an amp (I have an old Fiio E11). Nevertheless, for the clarity you get with these, great bang for the buck...I'm getting another pair just so I have the inline mic :) . But I must say that although the $35.99 for these is great price, the MSRP of $74.99 is misleading. MEE has these on their website at an MSRP of $49.99. http://www.meelec.com/A151P_Balanced_Armature_In_Ear_Headphone_2nd_Gene_p/ep-a151p-bk-mee.htm
...so you are getting roughly a $15 savings.
mayan_guyyou know, I kinda notice that too on some of the drops here, you'd think you're saving but in reality it's just a $5-$15 less... so I always check all my resources before buying one since it takes 2 weeks or so before you receive the item from Massdrop and if you really want to get the item fast, i'd say go for Amzn or somewhere else where they can ship in 2 days or less.
haellet say... $15 can buy me 7 meals :) Based on the US$49.99 current price, that means 30% discount! Is not too great but it isn't too bad. And, I don't know where else they have the 2nd gen too.
haelMine actually already shipped and according to the tracking info its scheduled to arrive Saturday. MUCH sooner than I expected to get it, so totally worth the savings.
breemannice, good for you, i'm gonna keep on waiting til I get to see IEM's of my likings, so far i've bought 4 diff earphones from Massdrop and they're always ahead of the delivery date which is good.
