Anyone know of these before I take a punt on them?

It's the Qilian QS1 from AliExpress for $11 (red or blue) or $14 (black). The feedback is "Just ok. Nothing special. Can't bare high volumes or bass on very simple tests. Sounds a little less than MEMT."

I don't know anything about those in particular, but in my experience it is better to have 1 really good driver than 3 not so good drivers.

... and how do we know these 3 are "not so good drivers"?

We don't. Hence why I said "I don't know anything about those in particular".

Guys, anyone checked out these newly released Tennmak Orca earphones? I talked Tony about these and he told me that 'the sound is very detailed with a good bass response'.

Time after time I tell myself to stop buying hybrid IEMs
I just don't like them. BA always sounds harsh and lifeless. But I have weak will and yet again and again I read a review and think "well maybe this hybrid IEM is gonna be to my liking". I buy it and I disappoint myself again.

Just like with Magaosi BK50 recently. Good IEM, solid build and nice looking (a bit bulky though so not easiest to fit properly), high quality MMCX cable in the package (really heavy though, definitely not for sport). Bass is not deep enough to my taste and highs are harsh (not eardrum crushing Yersen FEN-2000 type harsh but still piercing).

---

To further prove my point, yesterday Artiste DC 1 arrived (double dynamic driver inside). Holy crap, these are amazing. Bass is deeeeeeep. Sound is smooooth. Only lightly V-shaped. Detalisation is superb but with absolutely no sibilance in treble! Soundstage is pretty good (not the best but most certainly above average). Good fit.

I think now my Top 3 IEMs list looks like this (all are multi-dynamic driver IEMs) in no particular order
Tin Audio T515 Black
I-Into i8
Artiste DC 1

With that being said, has anyone seen chi-fi with hybrid configuration yet multiple DDs? Within normal chi-fi price range. I would be interested to read about those.

These really are fantastic iems for the price (especially the Amazon lightning deal prices). They have a ceramic and a dynamic driver that just work so well together

Anyone has any luck searching for the Estron C631 on Taobao? I can't seem to find any listing after the last few days of searching. I'm looking for something which is more balanced and accurate for $30, and it seems that the C631 might just be up my alley (Was considering the KZ ZSR before this thread).

To me the Artiste sounds big...almost like headphones. The dynamic driver is 13mm ant the ceramic is12mm. I find the fit comfortable. Using KZStarline tips on mine.

The best deal right now is the Amazon Uk price of £22.99. We paid £27 a few weeks ago and felt that was a great deal. Even at the normal price they are well worth it.

Any comments @ PHB EM-023 ? ZS6 "clone"? Another V-shaped chi-fi hybrid?

ArtisteDC 1 doesn't have removable cables? Otherwise they seem to be pretty perfect for my taste ....slightly warm sound signature with deep and punchy bass and no sibilance, all matches the kind of taste I like.
