I have purchased this iem (wooden one) just because it is so cheap and has good reviews. You know good reviews do not necessarily mean you will like that phones. Look at my reviews and You will see I am a price quality guy who seek the best value among headphones. I try to get a set which covers one reference iem,one bassy-punchy,one over-head and one iem for all around best within low budget but without compromise quality for the purpose. This iems is the answer for all around best without any hesitation. I have no chance to buy premium iems like JVC's but if You are low budget this is definitely the best iem you can buy. You risk just 12 $ but the return of this small risk is absolutely amazing.
Pros:
+ Perfect Soundstage. It has wider potential if you use matched amp/dac.
+ Clear &Sharp with Visceral Bass Rendering.
+ Mids, Highs are naturally balanced nothing aggressive or laid-back. JUST RIGHT.
+ Bass response is natural and visceral. It has enough kick and warm colored ( The only remarkable colorization I noticed. Timbre is perfectly natural-comfortable )
+ Vocals are clear easily separated from harmony.
+ Low Harmonic Distortion which signifies bright but not fatiguing experience. I think right and left channel have minimum difference.
+ Wooden case might cause less acoustic resonance. It is a huge joy to listen strings based instruments.
+ Easily driven.
Cons:
I have no complaint apart from cheap cables. This iems deserves tangle free cable.
I gonna buy one more for back-up ..dear fellows, go get one...

i updated my review on ruk30 today, tried to give more detail. i'll try to expand it in time. by the way, i really don't think anything wrong with ruk30 mids, it has a little dark sounding treble, that causing it to sound a little darker and this is only when we compare it brighter sounding bass earphones which costs a lot more. also, giving it a 1khz equalizer amplification helps a lot on this manner since it's a very flat responding earphone. brainwavz s series has even darker signature but no one cares, why we're beating ruk30 that hard ?
this earphone is a definitive steal and people has to know that. thanks for this great review!
