I buy this earphones at Gearbest for less than 10 boxes because the construction look sturdy and cable was detachable....wasn't having big attempt for the sound, but when I listen to this for the first time I was really impress by the authoritative bass and bright and detailed sound.
The Plextone X46 have an agressive V shaped sound that could do disaster with the wrong audio source like an Ipod or other Bass tweaked audio device, but trough my rather neutral Ibasso Dx90 the sound is surprinsigly above average of most sub-30$ popular market brand I listen too....you can't beleive this earphones cost just only 10$ once you look at their construction AND listen to them.
The construction is mostly metal without being too heavy, it look sturdy and not ugly at all, kind of ''classy futuristic'' looking I will say.
Cable too look of quite good quality. As it only make a week I got them I can't comment alot about durability for now.
Even at 10$ I ask to an earphones to be listenable and the Plextone X46M have a really enjoyable V shaped sound that have a lot of big chunky bass and a good treble to let some details to shine.
For sure this earphones aren't perfect, they lack in mids and natural clarity, they feel tweaked and they do not sound well with all sort of music, vocals can look distant sometime but they are bright enough to be easily heard.
The X46m excell with IDM, beat driven music and electronic, pop and modern rap, they have a good instruments separation and even if the sound is kind of bright it is not really fatiguing. The soundstage is above average too, and soundsignature is very exciting. Listening to Ratatat right now is literally explosive with the Plextone!
I use the Ibasso Dx90 as music source as they sound really too bassy on Ipod or Smartphone in general.
For me, personally, this earphones are quite okay at their absurb price and even if they lack in sound elegance they still sound better than most cheap earphones, the fact that they produce an immersive and energic sound that doesn't distort at all and have an above average soundstage is kind of a miracle.
If I only give this super earphones 3 stars it's because my review is dominate by analytical SOUND IMPRESSION, and the X46M is seriously too V shaped. If my review was just about price value like most consumers do with their purchases it will earn a BIG 4 stars.
If you are an audiophile on really tigh budget that listen to pop music and have an audio source not already bassy, you should try this out!
