I bought these believing the hype i've seen on here and I must say I've been quite disappointed.
Comfort:1/5
First, the fit is atrocious. It reminds me of the Beats by Dre IEM when they first came out with these ridiculous tips that where like 2 inches long except here the problem is more the flexibility of the material used. It gets in my ear alright, but the material is so stiff that with little movement the buds will gradually fall out of my ear. I resorted to wearing them the wrong way (left in the right ear) without the cable passing over the ear for ok comfort but then it looks bad and still isnt comfortable, just usable. Note: i have relatively small ear canal.
Sound: 3/5
The sound is alright. Most other reviews are right saying it has good soundstage but it is more like a magician trick than good sound engineering. They fit a tweeter and a normal speaker in there and called it a day. This is not high quality parts, just more cheap parts and soundstage is more than adding a tweeter. Here it gives this unbalanced sound of good highs that pops out, but the rest is just very average, with the bass being almost nonexistent even compared to flat headphones. The mids are just mushy and cheap like on most sub-100 IEMs. Underwhelming for how much hype these got.
Build quality: 1/5
They look good, but I've used them only for 2 months and the plastic around the main screw broke in half on my right earbud, just by removing them from my ears. No hit, no sitting on it, never dropped on the floor. Just "crack" when i removed them. This is unacceptable for anything over 10$ and most of you will be buying this from outside china so you can forget about your warranty or pay the equivalent of a new pair in shipping.
These would be good for 20-30 bucks but they are more than double that including shipping. Their sound is lacking anything special except the defined highs done simply by adding a cheap tweeter over the cheap speaker... Then you got the build quality that last only a few months and the comfort leveI abysmally low because of the weight, fit and size of the thing. I see no reason to buy these and I almost come to question the validity of the early reviews. Anyway, I would suggest waiting an extra week and getting Shure 215 or get xiaomi pistons for half the price and better overall balance, comfort and quality.
