Just saw these on Lendmeurears and they seem really nice, really beautiful. Can't say i have heard anything from Astrotec but i'm really liking the metal and wood.
Also they're only $50! 

 
They're fairly new so couldn't find any mention of them anywhere, if anybody know how they sound chip in.
 
Pics (damn they look good)

 

 
 

 

 

 
 
Seriously thinking about buying these even though i just bought the VC02 and FXT90. The girlfriends probably gonna confiscate my wallet if i do though......

They come in red as well. Very classy looking IEM.

 

[Dissonant]

My VC02s are still slightly less than a week old and here comes the potential new king of the <=50 buck price range. Design looks great, but less minimal than the VC02 and larger. Still it looks to be more substantial; I've had to baby my VC02s out of fear for their small size and memory-prone cable that is
already kinking up. . Just hope Astrotec can live up to their debut effort, the AM90 in sound and design for the price.

 

[Kimx2310]

Yeah the VC02 seem so fragile, the cable is so thin. The upside is they just disappear when you have them on
i think i'm gonna buy this next month together with the GR02. So maybe if i practice on some audiophile jargon i can make a review

Lol was searching for it on Google to see if i could find the red version and looked at Amazon and one seller (the only seller) is selling them for $998. Guess you're getting a pretty good deal if you get them for 50....

I feel like asking that seller what he smoked before listing those headphones on Amazon.

 

[Sneakles]

Just grabbed a pair from amazon - arrived today. I'm pumped. Luckily, it was a little less than $998.

Sneakles, can you give us a little impression of how this iem sounds?

These are such amazing value and beat so many better-known phones. See the discovery thread for more details.

 

[performula]

I picked a set of these up in red. I will be using them with my iP5, iP4, and maybe my first generation Touch. They are rated at 16ohm. From what I understand, the phone will be able to carry enough power to the AM800s. Is an external amp necessary? The answer seems to be, "No."

 

[quartertone]

No, they're pretty sensitive (and an amp is rarely necessary with IEMs anyway).

 

[performula]

Thank you!

I've made a proper A/B comparison between many 50$ in-ear products.
 
Based on pure sound quality on my Colorfly CK4+ DAP , here we have : 
 
VSonic VDS1s > HiSound Flamenco > BrainWavz R1 > HiSound E212 > Astrotec AM-90 (vocal heaven) > AM-800 > SoundMagic E10 > SoundMagic E30 > BrainWavz M2 > Dunu Trident >>> Sennheiser / AKG stuff

So . . . VSonics are the best based on the "greater than" symbol you used?  Or does it go from worst to best (left to right) with the Senn/AKG being the best?
