Is it fixable? Or should I just throw it away? I bought ten of them and gave away 5, so including this one I have 4 left lol.

I have not been able to fix it. I am pretty sure I wasted 7$ but no biggie the tips can at least be used and they are good tips.

I thought that tiny screen was the issue so I re applied it but it still happens.

im in currently in Adelaide Australia btw.

 

thanks

I'm in Sydney, I've ordered through focal price receiving a tracking number that doesn't work. another time a tracking number said my item was in America... the items did arrive. I'm also experiencing major delays on all items from Hong Kong regrdless of seller these past few weeks. I wouldn't be too concerned at this point about the hold up.


Anyway....regarding the CX700's I ordered a pair for $5.32 just to try out. I have that many IEM's arriving soon in transit what's one more going to hurt. 

Two pairs of CK700 shipped 4th of january, delivered yesterday. Don't give up!

hahaha. lol.

they should really change the delivery information on the site.

its says its 5~11 days for registered airmail to Australia...

Just received my white CK-700s.

It took them 2 weeks to arrive.

They are AMAZING!

I have the JVC FX1X and these have just the same amount of bass.

It makes your teeth rumble.

They go down as low as 3-4 HZ.

I finally got them yesterday, the black ones.

i was like WOW, for 5 bucks these are a steal. These should be in jokers review as well

I really like the tips that comes with this. I wish they didn't spend as much on the fancy box and the metal casing and maybe spend a little more on the headphones it self though (like the build quality and the drivers)

Just wanna say that CK700 shipped 3rd of Jan received yesterday . Cool!

I disagree.  Different strain relief for one, plus I'd be very surprised if these had a Xears driver.

I just got my white pair yesterday (ordered back in January... don't give up, esp. if you didn't request a tracking number).  Not much burn-in yet.  They are NOT on par with the Xears TD-100-II (which sounds similar to the TD4 from what I gathered).

However, they are way way cheaper, have better comfort, and I think the stock tips are better than the Xears one, strangely enough.  

First impressions: Electric guitars have a nice "bite" to them.  I like them better than my previous cheap pair, the Awei ES-600M.  They're less vieled, mids aren't as lost in tons of bass, but they still rumble well.  Man, the Chinese are getting really good at this.  5$ (well, 5.80$ now)... awesome price/quality ratio.  Not as good as the Monoprice earphones, but I can't really wear those as they just hurt too much.  The XKDUN are a lot of fun to listen to, without having to live with the errors of most fun earphones (piercing treble, slow response, and/or mids totally lost because of bloated bass).

Now all I need is to get the Kanen 948s I ordered (in January!) to do an epic Battle of the Cheapies thread :)

I don't doubt that, they're mostly there as a control because they have a numeric rating in Joker's thread.  I have the KM-92 already (which do sound a lot worse), but although there's a related IEM reviewed in the thread, it's not entirely clear whether the rating would apply to those.

Still listening to the ck700, they're really quite good... I don't cringe at all while listening to them which is a good sign; the sibilance is not too bad, no worse than the GR07.  Wish they had a better cable and real strain relief instead of those "I'll cut the cable on request" metal things coming out of the housing :)

Own, both. Different drivers. Xears better.
