Yes, finally got myself a pair!  It is not quite as bassy as I thought it would be, but we are talking with zero burn in.  I like how they sound so far though, maybe some deeper lows will come in after a little time.

They aren't Vidos but they are pretty nice.
 
Speaking of which it's almost time for another Taobao order.

  Cable is sooo neat for this price point. The lenght is a benefit too.
Generally I liked them a lot, though TP-16 proved to be a better pick for my ears.

LOVE the cable on the K's 64ohm!  It is super long which is nice for certain situations.

Better hurry! I am getting news that some of the taobao sellers will not be taking new orders from some time next week. And we will all be twiddling thumbs until they come from CNY holidays few weeks later.

i used to own the nw strudio pro w... i found it had lacking bass, and an abnormal frequency spike somewhere in high mids/low highs so that odd acoustic guitar notes, for example, would distort. others report them being amazing, though that was a few years ago now..a lot has come out since then

That is the original NW-Studio (not pro). It was originally known as ADX-SII-10001, made by Aidex and was developed by Mitsuru Takashima (former Sony engineer) and said to have input from with Masaru Ibuka (Sony co-founder). But Aidex never really did make a name for itself and was sold to 9W, and subsequently ADX-SII-10001 was rebranded as the original NW-Studio. Some NOS of ADX-SII-10001 was found in storage awhile back, which is why it starts to surface on Taobao after all these time.
 
p/s: you can still find NW-Studio in Japan for about the same price as ADX-SII-10001 on Taobao.

Well, I found a travel container I wanted to try out for my gear.  It's made by the same company that made the earbud case I posted about earlier, and can comfortably fit my Opus #1 and 2 earbud cases, maybe 3 if I try.  At first I wasn't going to buy it due to the rather high price at $100, but broke down when it hit $40 a couple days ago.  It feels extremely high quality, and quite luxurious.  I'll try to get around to taking some pictures soon.  Honestly, it'd make a great case for holding my Monk family.

I think the version you have is the 9W studio pro, and the one from the Taobao link is it's predecessor, the 9W studio.

But if the pro version is not that good, then perhaps the 9w studio version will be even worse? Unless it is the case like VE Zen where some prefer the sound of the first gen hahaha
