IDK why but I decided to buy these yesterday just because they look so interesting. Didn't expect them to sound good, they are a Hybrid (1 BA/1 DD). Very surprised with these. They have deep bass presence that doesn't come off as boomy or bleed into mids, mids slightly back but still hold plenty of detail & don't get lost, Highs are crisp with out getting too bright. Good separation & staging. Top of Y the cables are typical material, below Y they are cloth, wire is overall thin but seems solid. Housings appear to be made out of aluminum, only port I can see is a tiny one right below the nozzle.

With mine it was missing, like only the BA was working. If it'd been just one side I'd have believed they were faulty but same on both sides. I tried lots of tips and proved I was getting a decent seal. They make my G3s seem like basshead fodder.

:frowning2: That sucks. That's definitely not the experience I had. Lack of bass would have been exaggerated too since we were in a coffee shop; noise would have drown it out.

Anyone got some shouts for a cable down style? I listen to mainly vocal oriented stuff and occasionally classical. Would like good soundstage and imaging with good vocal clarity. Something under 40$ preferably

My no.1 pick would be Ty Hi Z G3 for this.

For those looking forward to the K3 HD, here are some quick impressions.... I was able to compare my prototype K3 HD with the one going on sale in June and the sound signature is definitely going to remain the same as mine; the treble is definitely more extended on both the Silver and Black tuning nozzles, but only the Silver tuning nozzles keeps the brighter MID frequencies to a safe level. Sub-bass/bass is controlled and quick when compared to the K3 PRO and with the overall details sounding more linear on the K3 HD giving it a sense of higher-end resolution.

.....as I mentioned before when I first received the prototype K3 HD, these are my personal favorite when compared to the original K3 and K3 PRO.

They also come with a newer standard set of wires with black balanced wires, as well. :ksc75smile:

Seem to be having a bit of luck with the super budget earphones at the moment, the following have turned out to be a perfectly decent listening experience despite costing less than $5: -
  • Fonge T01
  • Moreblue DM8 (Doboly Q18 clone)
  • Mixcder SH302

I really don't get the hi905 hate. They seemed pretty darn good when I tried them out.

My thought was perhaps there was a defect in the drivers. You can hear *some* bass and it's not particularly muddy. It doesn't sound like it's being swamped, it sounds like it's intentionally minimized. It's close to acceptable on tracks that are very vocal dominant or where you expect nothing but a really limited mid bass. I haven't messed around with EQ-ing it too much. It's sort of the evil twin to the rock zircon sound.

It's just stunning to me that these things can be produced and sold so cheaply, and still sound good, and still turn a profit! It's like magic.
