Hey mate, I just receive the Fonge T01....it make less than 5 minutes I have them in my ears tough. But, if I write here with excitation, it's becaue they sound incredibly good for the...2.99$ I paid!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firstly, the build quality isn't bad, twisted white cable look quite sturdy and housing is very good and must of all VERY comfortable, exactly to right over ear fitting for me.
Sound is warm and not extremely detailed but have a large soundstage and good bass weight, mids are there too....they remind me of **** UE (single DD) iem. I listen to it trough my new chifi DAC that use dual phillip TDA1305T o I will share more toughs when I test them with Xduoo X3 and Ibasso DX90, but, first impression is utterly positive!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you like the Fonge. I wasn't too fond of them. They just sounded a bit thin, hollow, and overall kind of boring and lifeless to me. They were comfortable and did have good soundstage I'll give them that.

Unfortunately, mine fell apart after using them 5 times (the cable fell out of the shell - it was glued in with really weak glue).

I wouldn't buy them again though. The MoreBlue DM8 is better for the same <$3 price.

I remember thinking these guys sounded soo good when I got them a few years ago! Unfortunately, one of the buds broke pretty fast because I accidentally fell asleep on one :frowning2:

How'd you get one? They're no longer made, right?

Can you pls compare to the MEMT X5? Thanks.
I don't mind to buy one to put it at my office

With the enhanced and upgraded MEMT X5 they definitely sound better than their older X5 model, but even though they can go "head-to-head" with the KZ ZSE, the ZSE wins by a slight margin in coherency and upper-range. So, buying the KZ ZSE is a "no brainer". Go for it! :thumbsup:

Sorry for only such short impressions, since I am travelling and not at home at the moment.

The Moreblue DM8 are better than the Fonge T01 for sound but build is better on the Fonge though.

The Fonge have a decent soundstage although the imaging isn't quite as precise as more expensive earphones. I still can't believe I'm commenting on 'imaging' when it comes to earphones that can be picked up so cheaply.

The Winingtome RG-RB601s that appear to be similar to the M2 and HZsound M001s that can be picked up for £12 on UK Amazon are now down to 7 units.

I've just ordered a spare pair just in case.

Having spent the last few days listening to some absolute dross (Einsear Cut, Bro, Vots J1 etc.) I've spent this evening listening to the EMI CI880 - I got these for £20 from Amazon.co.uk - I think I now prefer these to the ZS5.

They're more comfortable, have slightly less bass, which I prefer, and better clarity. The ZS5s may have slightly wider soundstage but these are more suited to my listening preference.

Sounds interesting! Do the volume buttons work with android smartphones?

The interesting thing about that link is that it says C 630 at the top not EMI CI 880. I came in here to say that mine, which I ordered from the same amazon uk listing that Vidal used ( his review is on the page) say c 630 on the little oval instruction manual that is inside the little oval container.

@Vidal does it say the same on yours?

A search for EMI CI880 takes me here:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/E-M...ty-HIFI-copper-wires-Headset/32755542997.html

The amazon listing that I used mentions OEM in the detailed info.
I might have to put this in my list as mystery IEM

Yes, it does mention that in the box. I used the EMI CI880 name as that's what @B9Scrambler first found them listed under on Aliexpress. I think they're a generic earphone (OEM) that are made to whatever brand you want if you buy enough of them. I could in theory rebrand them as 'Aproear' if I wanted to sell them for instance.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer

I'm kinda interested in trying the triple driver one listed as well.

Thanks for thinking to share this, now, I can't be sure it's the same than Mygeek wooden iem....one guy find them annoying cause of that: ''They have a pronounced hump at around 80-120Hz, right where bass drums are. I switched tips to memory foam, but no real improvement. I will keep letting them burn in and see how things go with them.'' I'm pretty certain mine doesn't act strange like this....just test it right now to confirm, they are punchy and bassy but mids are there for real as well as details and wide soundstage. I remember finding them quite bright and that after 50H of burn in it sound more calibrate but well, they still have treble emphasise that give texture and details in sometime agressive way (i personally like that aspect).
How' the soundsignature of SoundSOUL S-018?
