Hello everyone, I bought MEMT X5s from Penon audio on March 13. I was told that my order was shipped on March 15 using HongKong Post and I was given a tracking number. But there was no update on the tracking information for a long time and it still says that the item left for US on March 16.
 
How long does it usually take for items ordered from Penon audio to reach US?

Well, if you pay for one of the quicker shipping methods, it takes less than a week.
The standard shipping methods take between two and three weeks.

Thank you. But Penon Audio did not give me any options for shipping. I might be wrong but Penon audio is a little different from other Chinese sites and they offer relatively fast free registered airmail for all the items. I am wondering why is the tracking information not updated after March 16.

Having purchased a VSonic GR07 BE and at a later stage a GR07 Classic out of curiosity, I was most disappointed with the build quality of these IEMs. Within warranty period, the Bass Edition had issues and after warranty ended, the right driver simply died.
Within ten seconds of using a hair dryer, the casing popped open, the inner housing of the driver had falling apart, I reassembled/glued together but to no effect. My GR07 BE was dead.
The issue was because the material of the casing, this type of plastic just doesn't work well with contact adhesive.
 
After net searching for am IEM which may seat between GR07 Classic and the BE version, I came across some information for the Vivo XE800.
Was very sceptical after been burned numerous times from "those" Chinese sellers, my compatriots but with absolutely no affiliation.
I purchased a Vivo XE800 for just under US$20.
I was pleasantly surprised with the Vivi XE800.
The Seller's product description statements tells about "these fakes having non movable nozzles", this is a misinterpretation due to translation, what they were attempting to say was "fakes do not have movable nozzles". The item received did have movable nozzles, not box, rigid pouch and two useless spare pairs of buds (one tiny and one too big). The attached ear buds were a perfect fit for my dinky ears.
 
This Seller (chosen due feedback rather than price) have further reduced this Vivo XE800 to US$18, lucky for me, although it would not have mattered, as I went and purchased two more for Spares/Mods whatever.....
 
I am not saying the VSonics are no good, I'm just saying their quality control is atrocious for the price.
 
Would you risk paying over US$100 for an item which may very quickly become useless or pay US$20 for an IEM which have better build quality and arguable better aesthetics (I am so vain) and sound.

Look like Aliexpress has a sale on next week. Looking at getting:
Rock Zircon
DZAT DF-10
VJJB K4
Boarseman CX98
*cough* SE535 *cough*
Any other recommendations for < $20 on the bassy side?
 
TNKS!

Boarseman KR49 is more bassy than CX98 which I thought was fairly balanced.

First of all, thanks for the heads up regarding this 'new' sales holiday, or whatever they cooked up now .. probably a counter to 11.11 / singles day ... people want special days like this more than once :) 
 
I recommend the Vivo XE800 ... but the 'original' store i got it from has vanished ... not sure what the most reliable source is now ... [found it again, Store No.318282]
 
and i just saw when I tried to find your *cough*535*cough source, that there is a lovely bluetooth cable solution for those Shures, and since my cheapo *cough*215*cough* seems to have a cable issue, this might be a great way of reviving them :) 
 
so, where's that 535 ??/ :D   cheers   (nevermind .. found it ) 
 
hmm ... this 7th sales day does not seem to be as big as 11.11 in terms of discount .. they already say how much .. like 1$ off everything?
