Nope, next day delivery with Amazon Prime - the slightly more expensive ones

Just stumbled across this and thought you might find it interesting.

Might be the actual manufacturer and model number for those CI880s?

Certainly looks like it...and the specs are correct. Also on that site is the black option that is offered on Amazon UK.

I took a chance on them during a UK lightning deal. I had found the silver 1880s slightly bright for me and wondered if these would be better for me. They are also hybrids. I gifted the silver ones to a family member who had been eyeing them. Am I the only one who took a chance on the black. They are very comfortable and sound good to me but I have not had much time with them. Too many things coming in from the aliexpress sale at the moment, Too hard for my brain to sort it all out right now. It would be interesting if someone would do a comparison. I am not good at that... especially because my ears get a little irritated if I keep taking iems in and out multiple times to compare.

I think the company that makes them is 'Shenzhen Estron Technology Co., Ltd' they make a number of products including the C630 and the C610 which are on Amazon.

I've been in touch with them about their dual BA model but haven't had a response yet.

The seller from AliExpress of the UF said they don't sell it anymore and deleted the listing

they offered this as an alternative...

New **** IN8 Balanced Armature With Dynamic In-ear Earphone Hybrid HiFi Bass Noise Canceling Headset With Mic

(from AliExpress Android)

If you can wait a few days, I'll have the UF Beryllium drive version soon.

Will be able to compare to the hybrids then.

No idea, heard of the brand but not that model. I'd rather pick my own model than have one suggested by a seller.

Anyway the seller said he won't restock them. Could they be discontinued?

The mk1 is.

I know other sellers won't stock them because the supplier undercuts them on price through their own store.

Once again I have to say that the CI-880 is great earphone for the price! I found out that the black version on Amazon is the CI-780. It's also available on Gearbest. Now I'm interested in a comparison between the CI-780 and CI-880.

Black version why? it's a different item it seems...
