Audio Quality: 1/10
These sound much worse than my cheap Sennheiser cx300s. They manage to suck all life and energy out of any track I listen to. I actually enjoy an analytical and neutral sound signature. These however don't have the detail or sparkle to make up for it's lame frequency response. They just sound thin, small, and dull. There is no fun to be had in the low end. It's there, but it will not make you bob your head or shake your tail feather. With super cheap IEMs, you at least usually get some silly fun bass for amusement. Sadly, these IEMs will just make you enjoy your music less.
The mids are the focus of these IEMs, and unfortunately, they also suck. Congested, boring, edgeless.
The highs are a joke. I thought the Ety sound was all about the treble?
These headphones have magical treble: they can make entire instruments, disappear! Where once there was a high hat, there no longer is! TA DAH! My Senn cx300s sound like $300 IEMs in comparison.
I don't really even understand how this happened. Its as if all frequencies are recessed, but turning up the volume solves nothing.
And obviously there is no sound stage, its an IEM you dummy.
Comfort: 6/10
I'm being nice, since I actually found these to be very hard to fit with the stock tips. But this is partially because my ears are jerks and are shaped stupid. I fixed this with some after market foam tips.
Isolation: 8/10
Great isolation, I can't hear crap!
To bad I'd rather listen to the outside environment than these pieces of crap.
Design: 9/10
Built extremely well. The cord is kevlar reinforced, which will come in handy when you try to hang yourself after listening to these crap IEMs.
Value: Whatever, don't buy these. Save your money, they suck. Others won't come out and say it as bluntly, but this is clearly the case.
I wish I'd bought 2 pairs of cx300s instead of these.

"I actually enjoy an analytical and neutral sound signature", "I found the cx300s to be more enjoyable" lolwat
