Okay, so I was able to find a hybrid that looks very similar to the Bette/i.valux on taobao and burned them in for over 100 hours just to give a more thorough and justifiable review. I don't know if they are the same in the sense of same Driver or BA armature, since the model number and specs are a little different. But they are on top of my list for several surprising reasons, which I will explain below......
They are refered to as the HLSX-808
Specs:
Impedance: 32 ohms
Sensitivity: 108db
Frequency range: 8 ---- 25000hz
Comparing HLSX-808 with Sendiy M2
The sound signature persay are extremely similar in soundstage and presense to my Sendiy M2 using the silver tuned nozzles, but in the sense of hearing a BA armature for the vocals and details in place of a dynamic driver. Immediately, when you first hear the HLSX-808, you are also reminded of the incredibly similar bass response of the Sendiy M2. They both sound "eerie similar" in this sense, but you'll be quickly reminded that the vocals and hi-end details sounds more like a BA with the HLSX-808. The question is; which one am I more prone to grab first and listen to? Well? After burning the HLSX-808 for over 100 hours, I'd say that the HLSX-808 edges out the Sendiy M2 just because of the BA's breath-taking sound signature effect. But, I will never sell the M2 short from sounding just as good as a dynamic driver, that's for sure!
Comparing HLSX-808 with K3003 by ****
The bass on the HLSX-808 hits deeper, smother and more realistic to the source when compared to the K3003. And though the K3003 sounds airy and spacious, the HLSX-808 sounds spacious, crisp and detailed on top, as well. I personally prefer a more airy sound, but the HLSX-808 makes up for it on that beautiful and luxious bass response. Because both have a big soundstage, both produce nice life-like vocals; airy and life-like on the K3003, while the vocals are spacious and crisp sounding with the HLSX-808. If you would ask me; which one would you grab first and listen to? It would have to be the HLSX-808 for its all around sound signature, which adapts to more different genre's because of its brilliant bass response than the K3003 are capable of.
This was my choice of color and wire for the HLSX-808. Enjoy!
PS. They come with a chin slider adjuster!

Final note: I would like to thank 'TWINS' for being one of the pioneers on the Bette/i.valux find and reviewer. The HLSX-808 might be similar or the same item as they look very much alike.
