My take on the MEMT X5. I found it a fun listen for sure, but not without some pretty serious flaws.

THX for that B9, I've had these in and out of my cart three times and then just decided I did not need these and your review confirmed I did not need these

If you'd like a really small earphone, that's comfortable to wear while sleeping, the X5 is the best I've found, so far.  
It did take a bit of fiddling around with ear tips, to find the right depth of seal, so they sound right, are comfortable, and stay in while laying in bed...  

 
The Tennmak Pro is flat enough, that it's nearly as comfortable as the X5.

No THX, I've got my Trinity Hyperion if I needed sleepers

No prob. They're decent, but I'm sure you've got better gear in the same price range.

Good and fair-minded review--like you I rate the x5 as good but not transcendant

I would love to know any that is epic sub $25 . I think for me with my limited knowledge the x5 is as good as it gets

There is also the lesser known UiiSii DT200. It has a similar sound signature, as described by 1clearhead, and has plenty of bass that doesn't muffle the mids or highs.

Sub 25usd good models? Here they are: KZ ZST, URBANFUN HIFI,TENNMAK PIANO/PRO, KINERA BD005 and a few other models could be added but I can vouch for the ones I have, so all of them excluding Tennmak Pro.

Which you prefer from these hybrids, and are they better than dynamic. I was interested in KZ ZST, BD005, Urbanfun and **** UES

i also like the einsear t2, tenmakk dulcimer, swing diy ie800 and perhaps the senzer h1 and kz ed9 in the sub-$25 camp. which is not to say the foregoing are objectively "better" than the x5, but rather that they're closer to my personal sound biases.

Having both owned the ZST and the **** UES, i like the ZST more, the sound is clearer, highs gets more distinguished than the UES. The UES is def warmer and the sub bass is greater. 
 
Depends on the type of music you listen to. If you like acoustics and vocals, ZST is good. If you like EDM and general pop music, both would do good but the UES will bring out the bass better
 
I feel that the ZST sounds like the Magaosi K3 but with less detail and a lesser soundstage.

Hello fellow headfiers. I really need some confirmation about KZ-ZST which i got few weeks ago. I love the sound overall (soundstage, punchy bass wich heavily relies on source gear btw, details, etc.). BUT now i came across some music that confirms some ppl complaints about boosted treble and harsh highs. 
First of all London Grammar "Wasting My Young Years" in the chorus "Maybe we a-a-a-a-re, we a-a-a-a-re..." i hear some additional sand/dirt like sounds if you get what im saying, its like iems can't handle this particular song and this particular part of the song, i'm not sure if i got defective gear or it just how it is. I really appreciate if some one can spend some time to confirm this.
Also sibiliants. This im sure is just how KZ-ZST handles them. The best track i found for testing this is Bjork's "All Is Full of Love" specificaly video version wich is on 2002 Greatest Hits album. Not many IEMs can handle this song very well. Really would like some confirmation on this also.
Apart from these 2 songs and some other London Grammar tracks i really like this IEM.

 

[maxdurak]

Oh well, considering "Wasting My Young Years". I tested Monks, TY Hi-Z and QKZ W1 Pro. All of them have same problems with this track, though Monks do much better job and it is almost unnoticeable, QKZ W1 Pro mask it with its much darker sound signature, compared to ZST.

has anyone personally tried whizzer a15?

I could only find two reviews here at headfi.

So I got myself some of those cheap T200 foam ear tips off Ali Express for the X5. Now the bass is more controlled and tighter. I like it a lot more now.
