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.
