500+ Head-Fier
Budget side sleeper with a fatal flaw.
Pros: Nice warm sound with decent technicalities in their price bracket. Can be found for very little $. Perfect for side sleeping.
Cons: Cable hardens fairly quickly with use to the point where they'll fall out of your ears if you move your head while wearing them. It also causes the connections on the driver to come lose and eventually break.
This isn't meant to be a full review, just a short note to warn people about the cable. I'll compare them to a couple of other cheap bullet sets i've been using recently along the way.

I was using the Little Q as beater daily driver for a few months, exercise, work, movies, they had lots of time in my ears. They're a decent alternative if you're looking for an easier to source mh-750 replacement. Technicalities are good, they're below the Astrotec Vesna here but ahead of the Linglong in terms of clarity. In fact i'd put them ahead of the Linglong in pretty much everyway except sub bass extension which the Linglong does really well.

Unfortunately like the Linglong they're terminally let down by the cable. The Linglongs cable is too heavy and pulls them out of the ear if you use them on the go without a shirt clip (their pressure build up doesn't help here either + they die fast due to driver flex), Little Q's goes ridged and achieves the same sub optimal outcome which is a bummer as they'd be a great little set if you could actually use them.

The Vesna is superior to both as far as performance goes buuuuttt, they have a sub bass tuck that means both the Linglong and Little Q do much better with bass heavy genres, especially electronic music. They also don't isolate much and the housing is much larger than the others meaning i found them less comfortable.

So yeah, I like the Little Q a lot, they're great for bassy music, movies and games etc, but the cable.. its not bad, its terminal. Hopefully Kbear changes it to a different material and makes it a J shape while they're about it.
