HPM-85 or HPM-90?

[Hiron]

I hav k850i since last year, updated to R1EA037 via SEUS.

The standard bundled HPM-62 seems didn't satisfy enough, so I bought HPM-85.

Very powerful output, deep bass, clear and crispy treble.

One weak points I only noticed in HPM-85:
Mid-range sound was not clear.
And for information, bass-style is natural-soft, compared to hard-unnatural-knocking style in HPM-82 (maybe to maintain a natural and high fidelity sound. It's a taste of matter).

Good sound quality in general, high-fidelity type, thankfully to it's 30mm neodymium magnets that can handle 500mw power.

And right now, I hav a plan to buy HPM-90.

On technical comparison, hpm-90 hav 5mm neodymium magnets (smaller diameter means different impedance, leads to less power-handled than HPM-85. CONS), with oxygen-free cable (means less signal-lose in cable. PROS)

I ask to every peoples here that hav try HPM-85 and HPM-90: Which sound quality is better?

Please writes your opinion about bass, treble, stereo and hi-fi factor between this two product.

Don't mention about it's OLED display or simple-to-bring factor.

Since I'm audiophile, I only pay attention to sound quality factor^^

Please help me, because I feel uncertain to buy HPM-90. Should I buy this one?

If the sound quality is better, I will buy that.

Although it offers OLED display and smaller dimension, if the sound is worse, I will not buy that.

Thanks for your attention^^

And some people also said that HPM-90 is better...

Sound Difference Is Negligible. In HPM90, SE Had Focused Just On Remote Control And OLED Display. HPM-85 Delivers As Astonishing Quality As HPM-90 Does. So The Only Reason I Think One Should Swap To HPM-90 Is Ear-Buds:D.

I would say 90, purely because of the OLED display+remote. It can be very helpful, especially if you want to keep your phone in your pocket.

HPM 90 Is Very GOOOOD

Do you consider wireless options?
I went from HPM-83 and MRH remotes to HBH-DS980 and the sound is outstanding!
Earbuds are perfect and overall impression is good, the only downside is battery life...
