Yes, have them under both names
These are truly outstanding IEMs. First of all, out of all the IEMs I've tried, including £200, these have close to the best bass I've heard in an IEM. Punchy, well controlled, musical. So much fun, no bloat, doesn't dominate.
Very detailed mids even with a slightly smooth signature. Highs for me are just right, no fatigue but with plenty detail. i can see why Coil and 1Clearhead want more sparkle but for me they have enough clarity.
The soundstage is great... in all directions. 3D like. As i said already, live music is so immersive. Drum solos have such impact and can sound like you are there playing them.
Negatives... build and aesthetics. Soundwise... There is some minor sibilance. "s" sounds can be a little irritating at times, but it's far from a deal breaker and barely noticeable after a while with them. The rest makes up for it. IF they never had this issue these could be close to perfect sounding for my listening pleasure.
Really tempted to get these now. How's the isolation and sound leakage, since it looks like the bk50 has an open-back design?
