I found this one review so far (translation by google)
They look interesting for $25, right around the MX500 price really. I might go for a pair.

Myself was □have listened in the earphone everybody □□PK3 ear plug. (□bright; This □listens is returns □-like □listens. Namely the ear plug after □listens □to tie; Must □return □YUIN Corporation. □□on; The merchant □has recycled the cost which the ear plug pays □□to be bigger than lives □the cost. But because this □may prevent delivers □the ear plug but actually □; Moreover □a person □□□way is advantageous to □□fair ~~ recommends each big ear plug merchant use.)

Based on how much I am enjoying the PK1 and the PK2, I can't wait to hear the PK3 for their value (quality / price). I just placed an order at the very desirable Group buy price. I'm especially interested in how these stack up against the Koss KSC75 - my currently favorite $25-ish headphone, and the Sony EX71-SL a long-time family favorite (for when my kids come to me looking for a portable headphone) in the $30-ish range. Based on the value offered by the PK2 and PK1, my expectations are pretty high for the PK3. When the PK3 get here, I'll find out.

I'm very tempted by the group buy price.

Can someone explain to me the difference between a group buy and a regular buy? I placed an order for only one under "group buy"... I have a feeling that was incorrect o.o;

group buy means it's an offer for a group(in this case head-fi members) to purchase for a lower price because of the quantity of the order. you don't have to buy more than one yourself
