Clear, Nice to know about the MaGaosi K1. My first pair bugged out on me around 130 hours of burn in. The Second pair are VERY good. Much like your description of the Sendiy.
 
No worries about the Crazy Cello. It is stellar, just from my first very quick impressions, (I put them on the Burner and went to work). They sound best with an ULTRA-WIDE bore tip. The problem is that the barrel / nozzle is a little small in Diameter, so the Stock tips are probably specially made. They kind of remind me of Sennheiser IE8 tips. I suppose you could make a sleeve out of a pair of old silicones to increase the diameter of the Barrel though.....

Cellos are very very good. For thin nozzle issues, I just wrap some scotch tape around them once or twice and carefully trim the end of = problem solved!
 
The Cellos remind me of TK 13 but with a touch less warmth in that the separation and detail is extraordinary.
As with most of my IEM's these days [for whatever reason] i use the KZ foam tips. Superb :)

I found the JVC spiral dots to be a good match for theb Cellos

Initial impressions of Crazy Cellos

Regarding the 4in1 & Cellos, for me the Cellos blow them away simply because there is no harsh treble.

Moni & Cello, the Moni is more analytical, very little bass. Can be a tad sibilant. Cello is more neutral sounding across the board compared to the Moni.

SWIII & Cello, have not listened yo both of these in the same session but, from what I remember the SWIII is a tad sibilant in comparison to Cello. Bass extends deeper, better separation in instruments. I'd have to go back for a more detailed description.

In short yes they compete. I wouldn't go as far as saying that the Cellos are better than any of these though, it all comes down to what YOU prefer in terms of sound. I hope this comparison is to help :)

I will def do even more listening but when using the Moni out of my X3ii with HA2 combo the vocals could get a bit harsh or sibilant but since getting my Opus#1 it has greatly smoothed out. Opus has less forward mids and I'm wondering if the little bit of forward from the prior combo is what was causing it

Out of my Zishan the moni is slightly sibilant but never fatiguing. Given that the Zishan is pretty much neutral it does a good job at bringing out the moni's best features and not making them sibilant.

DHL dropped off something special just now. 
 
Pics galore!!! Thanks xDuoo :)  This is gonna be quite interesting!
 
 
As you can see the packaging is eye catching and pleasing and compact. The front panel is very apple-esque, me likey!
 
 
Included accessories is par for the course, and the added screen protectors is a nice touch. I was quite surprised to see color image inserts inside the manual, pleasing to the eye. 
 
 
 
 
Beauty shots highlighting the external features and input/outputs. Quite a looker if I say so myself. 
 
Will post impressions and pictures of UI once I get a chance to use it at home.

  i have seen the Kinera BAS03 and thought it looked interesting, but haven't seen any reviews for it. Do you have it?

 
I have them but only to sell, I don't have my own set of these. I've heard the BAS02 and that was good and actually had more bass than I expected.
 
Audiofight.info has reviews of some of the Kinera stuff, the site is in Russian but you can use the translate feature in Chrome to read it.

there's a 2ba version of the bas03 called the bam03 that look kinda interesting--i couldn't discern from the audiofight site whether they're good or bad (their english translation, btw, sounds like a fortune cookie and is unintentionally hilarious)
i did, in a moment of weakness,  order the ty hi-z g3 on vidal's recommendation along with the hope-it's -a-cello-clone senzer "hi-fi" iem, which btw has been marked up from $12 to $20--a good sign?
