Bought it some time ago, based on user reviews. Straight out of the box it seemed huge, especially compared to my old Cowon D2. Also, sound was awful. Granted, I don't have large hi-fi cans, only...

I’m a basshead. I say that loudly and proudly, even though some folks believe basshead and audiophile are mutually exclusive. Obviously, I’m not in that camp. But sometimes, I...
I read reviews on this and I said let me try this out, for $10 I couldn't lose. This surpassed all of expectations for a $10 IEM.

Klaatu, I own an sr80 (i version) and it would be nice to hear your opinion about the vibro cups in terms of sound difference, since I'm a pontential buyer of one of them. Thanks.
I finally had time to prize the drivers out of the housings. Apparently this wasn't their first time out, and the previous owner had super glued them in (not cool), so separating them wasn't quite so easy as the demo video. I have them on the jumbo pads, and I'm driving them hard off the Xonar Essence.
I'll return and give my impressions once I've gotten more head time with them.
I eventually ordered a pair of vibro cups but I'll probably not open my sr325is since it's less than 6 months old and I definitely don't feel the need to so, I'll try it with the sr80i. So it will be nice to know how it sounds with the 325 drivers.
So far, I'm rather happy with them, although all I have to compare them to are my T50RPs. After I found the higher gain settings on my soundcard, I was able to appreciate them a bit more. I've been driving them hard for the last week or s and they still sound great.
