Though expensive, the more I listen to them, the more I like them. Many have complained about the "lame" bass but this can be improved by finding a good fitting ear tip piece and then the bass emerges very nicely. I use these with the microphone attachment from my 102s and they work well as both an everyday listening and phone answering device.

Impressed with the sound overall, balanced throughout the frequency range (bass is tight, medium to high frequencies not bad but I still think my Shures are better in the mid to high). That being said, the build is very worrisome - the right shell came apart exposing the tiny speaker and had to be glued. The cord is very flimsy and appears it won't take much of a yank to break the cord. Considering what they cost, I believe a sturdier build could be achieved. There are many China-built IEMs that look to have the same sized housing and can accommodate...

Bought these to compare with my other IEMs. I have found that one can modify the bass content by changing the tips and I got them to he point where it was less bass but the high freqency performance is somewhat poor considering the price one pays for these. looking to trade now.

Based on many reviews, these iems have been condemned to having poor bass, "anemic" as some as described. However, after a regimen...
