Yes, I personally categorize them as "omnivorous" earbuds. In that I think they are good for almost any genre of music. A sort of Jack of all trades and master of none.
Well at least that is my opinion. You can provide some feedback of you disagree hahaha

If it makes your decision any easier, I just did a little test with the Cyngus. My source was the Aune M2P and B1. First, I used the K10U IEM, then the Oriveti Primacy, and then the Cyngus. They are obviously all very different and vary from price point, but the Cyngus performed well beyond its price.

Guess, now comes the million dollar question, where do the awesome people of this awesome thread purchase their Cygnus?
Aliexpress? Taobao? Penon?
Is Penon or AE a reputable seller?
EDIT: Will the Cygnus sound good with my budget set up? XduooX3 and Trasam HA2 (Extreme Edition) (supposedly to be a fiio E12 clone or contender)

@AudioNewbi3 Penon Audio is one of those very well recommended websites for Head-Fi. I've personally had nothing but good experiences.

@AudioNewbi3 I find this seller on Aliexpress with better price (-$10) than Penon and balanced option of Cygnus, apparently the store has a good reputation but Penon is 100% safe.

Thanks for the reply guys. Guess I will eventually buy the Cygnus from Penon then.
A very stupid question though, do you guys use guest checkout or sign-up for an account?

I wish the balanced Cygnus was 3.5mm

MRW I find a blog (http://hifiearbuds.net) with reviews of the products I'm waiting/want and it is written in Japonese.

I agree. The Tomahawks work with just about everything. I only disagree with the donut part. It made the sound slightly too sharp for me...
