great review. Picked mine up for $50 on amazon and loving them. Bit more extension in the base i think is about all i'd ask for. Completely agree with a design and build aspects, most comfortable iem i've used.

Thanks for the feedback, I haven't re-read it but I thought I mentioned they're not for bassheads or that the bass does not fully extend down all the way without losing detail. I believe at $50.00 it's a very good IEM for those who have not tried out BA armature IEMs, enjoy :)

Just wanted to add my observation with the bass response of these phones. As against the general notion of lack of bass in these phones I feel these phones are quite bassy(!!) but ofcourse I am coming from RE262. I feel the bass at times becomes bloated.
But it is just me.

+1, these weren't really lacking bass quantity-wise, but I did feel that better impact could have been put into the A151s. This is all from memory though since I don't have my A151s anymore.

I still have my A151s and use them occasionally but have been using the A161Ps more now as I like their overall sound qualities better. While speaking of the A151s I feel that you are on target and the bass quantity is good but I don’t feel they extend all the way low. They have nice bass texture with good impact and they are precise but they just do not extend into the sub-bass region, so I would not call them bass head IEMs.
