It is very strange, the company publishing pics of these BAs without tubes. This can create mistrust in buyers. I, for example, would not buy, just by seeing these photos. It is a disservice to their own image.

Yeah that’s crazy. Why would any company even release a product photo like that?

I remember when everyone was crucifying KZ because the ZS5 v1 had ‘fake’ BAs. And it turned out to not even be true!

Just 1 dumba$$ on YouTube that took it apart, and didn’t even understand what he was looking at.

Just goes to show that knowledge can be dangerous if in the wrong hands.

Hoping someone can help me out. So I've always wanted a pair of Etymotic ER4s to use as a throwaway pair due to the isolation (for mowing lawns, power tools, snoring etc), but i could never justify the price of them due to risk of damage or getting lost/stolen etc. Plus, I've tried a few Balanced armature earphones and found I disliked the shrill treble so I probably wouldn't use it as a primary headphone anyway.

Are there any cheap clones that use the same tiny design and high-isolation tips as the ER4s. It seems like it would be pretty cheap and easy to copy too, as its just a tiny aluminum barrel with a single BA driver inside (even using the genuine ER4s Knowles drivers, they only cost $20/pair on Aliexpress) and a MMCX connector glued at the end.

On that note, are there actually any cheap chinese single Balanced Armature earphones (not hybrid, 1BA only) at all? Why aren't they more common?
Toneking TW1 would fit the bill

I really like the performance of these Ch-Fi products :relaxed:

I recommend the Musiland MU2 if you are looking for a budget-friendly DAC / AMP solution that you can use with your phone with a USB Type-C connection

Received my CCA-C10 today with the new Benjie s8/AGPTEK m30b (an upgrade to the benjie s5/agptek m20)
For like 50$ they're one of the best combo i've ever heard.
Gonna make a review on them

Not updated, gonna update

I wish everyone would. Some people don't put in any info and then ask questions. It is always better if we know what those users already have. I love reading profiles... lol.
