I ordered the brainwavz r1 after reading reviews on head fi. It was worth the purchase.
I am a bass head so I needed something that suited me.
I listen to rock ,metal , punk-rock and very select rap and hip hop.
I rooted my phone and then put an app called viper4android on my HTC one x plus.
So all of my testing was done on my phone.
The songs I tested Were linkin parks minutes to midnight album(flac), metallica greatest hits(flac), rhcp californication, by the way singles. Eminem beutiful, Rammstein, system of a down, serj tankian,And sum 41.
if you want a short concise review skip to the end.
So lets get started on the review.
Build quality
The build quality is pretty good. The memory wire is really comfy. The cables are strong. But the only disappointment here was that the cables are not flat.
The quality of the case and the gold plated 6.5 mm jack and airplane jack is fantastic. Pictures are below

The l shape connector was a big plus.

the case is pretty huge. It makes my pockets look like balloons. The case was pretty fat. That was a slight disappointment.

sound quality
The soundstage is wide. It's not the best but it is really good.
The instruments are placed towards the left and right and the vocals are set at the back.
Bass was the focus here. It was nice and punchy. It did not lose clarity as much as i had thought. The low and high was great. Mids are a little laid back. Rock music was Great. Chesters screaming in given up was clear and sounded great. The lows could get a little boomy at times but I was ok with it. I tried it out with sony Xperia z and Samsung galaxy y duos with custom dsp settings and the quality was not the same. I guess the quality is unique to my phone so I guess it will be diffrent for you guys.
All in all I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good budget iem which suits all genres. It's great as an entry level dual driver. I will recommend it to any basshead.
Bottom line.
1. It is great budget iem.
2. Worth the price.
3. Great for bassheads.
4. Build is very good.
5. Do not buy if looking for neutral sound.
6. Good for Most genres.
7. Great soundstage.
I bought it from mp4 nation.
Any questions about this product pm me.
