Monoprice 8320 (MEP-933)

If you are a broke dude like me, but want a IEM for the bucks, look nowhere else!

I got a pair for my sister. And of course I also tested tested them.

I got the MEElectronic M9 in Thanksgiving. Those ain’t bad, but I’m already getting used to the certain level that my old MDR-CD470 brought me to. Headphone is kind of addicting. You may not notice much of the difference when you test a better headphone. But if you are used to a better headphone, there is no way you can go back to the worse ones. The M9, not bad for a casual IEM, and definitely better than the pair of shit that comes with my Samsung phone(terrible noise when they hit the smallest amount of wind), but really lacking of the high frequency. And, tbh, the first ~24hrs sucks! The sound were so packed in, closed, like in a vacuumed room, without any layers. Once burned in, however, it’s alright.

The 8320, is MIC like the M9, huge size, but even cheaper than the cheap M9 and cost only $7.11 before anything. S&H is $2.xx so count that as $10.

The moment my sister try them on the first time, I warned her that it may sound bad. After she had a try, I picked them up and plugged-in.

It’s VERY NICE for the first few minutes. Actually much better than the M9 even after 10hrs of burn in! I expect them to get even better with time goes.

The only bad thing is the huge size. It’s so enormous that I may feel tired after sometimes plugged in. It’s not a looker either. And the pair we got only comes in a plastic bag. According to the forum and what I saw in a youtube video, it used to come with a box, although without any accessories. But after those people cleared out their stock, they changed to plastic bags. Yea, I listed more than one pros but really, all we care is the sound quality, no?

I’m thinking of getting another pair for myself.

Grab one when they are still available!
