I received the Shini Q170 in only two weeks..pretty fast shipping. First impressions: these don't sound the same as Q140 but are more V-shaped! so while mids remain almost unchanged the bass is now much punchier than Q140 but fortunately it retains its tightness and speed, and obviously the subbass can now be felt. Treble is also brighter, more details and sparkle also some sibilance can be occasionally heard. Soundstage seems be a little larger.
So while Q140 is balanced this Q170 is more aggressive and energetic..it sounds amazing with EDM, bass has quality and quantity.
Build quality is identical between the two, however these Q170 come with a problem: the L/R channels are swapped but I have easily changed the external piece with each other, solving the problem.
Now let's wait for the S520 these should be better built with a L plug..
