The Seahf AWK-009 have arrived - OOTB impressions close to Ty Hi-Z G3, I'll do a proper back to back and post more impressions later.
 
(In case you're wondering by saying they're close to the Ty Hi-Z G3 I'm saying they're good, very good.)
 
 
@mochill - thanks for recommending!

Ty Hi-Z G3 vs Seahf AWK-009
 
I would say the Seahf is a little sharper towards the very top end. The Ty is smoother, has more weight to the lower mids and has a bigger soundstage. The G3s are still my favourite but the Seahf get closer than I'd have expected given the price difference.

Well, decided to give the Super Bowl version of the QKZ W1 a try, and at a short listen, mids are a little more forward and a small amount more bass but not hugely so than my original W1.  Oddly, the page has been removed from Aliexpress, so not particularly sure what's going on there.  With some very bassy EQ, it's still not as bassy as some budget IEMs with no EQ, so it will still remain fairly neutral relatively.  It does take the EQ nicely however.  Either way, any difference could very well be explained with QC, burn in, or other factors, so all things equal this could be the exact same W1 a few of us know and love.  It was bought from QKZ Official Store.

Alright guys and gals, I received my Urbanfuns and some other stuff will be due to arive this week, so it's Aliexpress week it seems for me..
 
The Urbanfuns are surprisingly nice, I like them way more than the uhm KZ ZS3 that I had tried, which was either a faulty one or just bad quality. 
 
Only gripe is the silicone ear things. They hurt and are not that comfortable does anyone here know if Aliexpress has a good product on silicone eartips or foam that would fit with most headphones? If you do please let me know a link would help as well since it's hard to find products like these! Thanks! 
 
Right now I have put on the smalles tips that came with it those are very small, but these do not hurt as the mediums do... Though it makes for a less great sound experience as my ears are not closed. Yet that is better than painful irritation.

Are these around 15 dollars? If they are that good for that price! Woah!

  I don't like them either, I'll be staying away from metal ear buds for sure and maybe also that brand...

Yeah, it was a big deception for me, the Mrz Tomahawk are all metal but they sound amazing and soundstage is so airy and wide....these and the Faael 64ohm are my favorite earbuds, Qian39 is a very good one too.
What chinese earbud is your favorite under 100$?
 
I'm not sure I will try the Auglamour rx1 one....even if they look nice...

The RX-1's main attraction is it's good vocals, also has some nice accessories for the price.

those swing ec1s look an awful lot like the **** 4in1 and could very well have the same drivers--i was told that the swing ie800 (which is a great cheapo) has **** drivers and that the dt2/dt2+ were a multi-driver version. in any case, please post if you take the plunge

 

[NymPHONOmaniac]

Okay, hum, better vocs than 6$ Qian39?
 
Yeah, Auglamour really do beautifull product and durability look very good...not sure about the sound tough, will give more chance to the r8 cause they look sooooo nice too.

 

[Saoshyant]

The RX-1's downfall compared to the Qian39 will be the bass, for me at least.

 

[Chappa]

Well I went and ordered a big order of foam eartips. I will keep looking for more.... If anyone knows nice nice silicone eartips/foam on aliexpress please hook me up!
