Yes I agree with all these descriptions. I wonder how soundmagic tops these?

Btw I'm having a hard time choosing between the A73 and E80. I keep flipping back and forth. It's getting ridiculous!

 
That's saying a lot since one is $150 and the other $52!

But you need to buy an E80 and compare them to see how well they are tuned since they are the defacto budget tuning champs at the moment :)
 
This one looks good as well for $45...

For those that are interested.  Comes with a case and four sets of earpieces, and it included DHL delivery from Germany (!) of all places.  Mildly V-shaped sound, great clarity, nice, punchy base and excellent treble with zero harshness.  Clarity and detail at least on par with the FXT90 with much better tonality and no treble harshness.
 
Good build quality too - internally twisted wiring with a translucent TPE sheath, machined aluminum earpieces, splitter and plug.
 
Didn't come with any packaging, which was a little weird.

Oh god, I've tried the Level-In.   Horrible, horrible headphones.  Serious piercing treble and mediocre sound quality overall.  Comfortable, though.

Strangely, the only other product this Bette company sells on Amazon are knock-offs of LG Tone+ wireless headsets.  Also, cable in their hybrid budget IEM looks nearly identical to KZ wires.  Considering this one comes from China (not sure why yours arrived from Germany when on amazon Bette retailer states that it ships from China?), wonder if it's special KZ re-branded hybrid version? :)  It sure aligns with KZ budget pricing :wink:

The company actually has two other 1+1 hybrids, including a half-wooden version that looks pretty interesting.

I'm sure it's a re-branded Chinese piece, I'm not sure why it came from Germany either but that's what my waybill said.  Whomever did the tuning, however, knew what they were doing.  These are legitimately enjoyable headphones to use, regardless of where they came from.

Pretty good price for a hybrid BA+dynamic.
