it needs amping imo to bring out the full potential

I'll run it through my big setup then (ORB JADE Casa Amp & DAC).  I've only had a chance to run it through my phone and FiiO M3 so far. 
 
@BloodyPenguin Great pictures

They're photogenic little guys, and they certainly do output some serious bass. Looking forward to further impressions.

 
Thank you.  Yes, I was impressed how easy it was to make them look good in the pictures.  Going to try and spend some more time with them now as the kids are asleep.

Actually it's the other way around. Those In Ears came out over two years ago.

I wonder how the top one sounds in comparison to the Sendiy

As I can recall. They weren't impressive. That's why they were forgotten. I remember I was going to buy those and a few people said that they perform slightly above average.

u have it too! what are your thoughts?
i feel they pack a rather well controlled bass but the resolution is lacking severly for me. smooth overall but needs to be driven


Too much midbass for my preference. I'm more of a monster subbass, minor midbass kinda guy. Still, they're one of the few midbassy iems I actually really enjoy.

I found resolution pretty decent with the right tips. Settled on an ancient pair of wide bore Skullcandy tips. The wider the bore the better imo. That or Havi B3 dual flanges.

While I don't think they need to be amped, it definitely cleans them up. Running them through the Topping NX1 reduces the midbass and tightens the sound up in general.

They've found a nice niche for me; super low volume listening while going to sleep. I'm talking volume one on my phone. Somehow they still sound really good. Go figure.

BloodyPenguin Hope you enjoy your listen! Cheers!

Silicon tips never really work for me.
 
I ended up stealing some foam tips from the MusicMaker Tomahawk IEM.  They look HILARIOUS on the TW1!  But they seem to do the job well for me.
 
Running through my ORB JADE Casa setup, they do sound much better.  They scale well.  Bass is still present, but more controlled.  Details are bumped up a notch.  These are not the most revealing IEMs, but for about $25 USD, they are decent.  I'm enjoying them. 
 
Listening to "Beck - Wow", I'm getting some substantial sub-bass with some musical mids.  Highs are very much there, not exactly bright, but not smooth either.

@1clearhead

ZS3 review already!? Man....shipment of mine was delayed due to a recall of the first batch. With shipping trends as of late I'll probably get them by September

Very excited to read your impressions.

 
I know, I still haven't received my ZS3 due to the recall.

Sendiy called, they want their shell back

I.Valux and HLSX also called

http://penonaudio.com/Earphones/In-ear-earphone/Astrotec%20AX35

 
Haha! I'm with others here.....the other way around!

  Though, I do carry the Astrotec AM800, the Sendiy M2 is definitely better in soundstage presentation.
 
   
Glued to my seat.

Great looking too! I'm still waiting for my Tomahawk inears. Would they sell those eartips seperately?

Quick question... i followed the banned thread for a couple of weeks and i got my mind set on those, but following the latest events i wont buy them cause i dont like dishonest people.. So any recommendations on iem around 150$? i like neutral/warm sound no sibilance, detachable cables and decent sealing/fit cause i travel a lot. At the moment im using Shure 215 and while i like the fit/construction/isolation i find them pretty mediocre sounding (true, compared with my hd650+bottlehead crack i listen at home :p )
I will power them with my Note4+Chord Mojo so amping is no issue

  I agree with you on some points @_gl but at the same time there are a lot of great brands in China:
 
Fidue
Dunu
LZ
Musicmaker
Macaw
Vsonic
1More
 
 
All of these companies offer products on par with some earphones that cost many times more. There are also some great sellers
 
Penon Audio
Lendmeurears
Shenzhen Audio
Gearbest

 
 

  Thank you @Currawong
biggrin.gif

some of the reviews really misguided me
 
to conclude
 
top 3 reliable brands:
Dunu
Fidue
Vsonic
 
top 3 emerging brands:
Tfz
VE
LZ
 
Sellers I deal before and found excellent service from them:
LMUE
Penon Audio

 
 
  Do LMUE have an AE store or just their main website?

 
LMUE is based in Singapore, not China. And yes, they're reputable. They even opened a store here last year (or late 2014).
 
Bonus fact : Singapore is 3rd richest (per-capita, PPP) country in the world and the most expensive country in the world according to BBC. Just FYI.
