Is the VJJB V1S a good CHIFI?

They were a huge hype train in 2014, but the train derailed pretty quickly. They’re nothing special. A typical v shaped <$10 example.

Thanks guys for your replies on the VJJB, or whatever it stands for.




Anyways now that quite a number of us are in quarantine or locked down, what is your current favourite CHIFI setup/rotation at home? I'm starting to reappreciate gear that I've neglected, but to start the ball rolling, mine is:

Khadas Tone Board --> Fiio A3 --> KBEAR Diamond or BLON Cardinal or Audiosense T800 or NiceHCK M6 (BGVP filter)

Headsup, there's another lucky bag on Aliexpress today: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000866556754.html

Any guess to what earphone B is? Don't think it is TIN HIFI T2 based on price and the "bass is deep".
Earphone C is most likely the NiceHCK M6.
Earphone D possibly is KBEAR HI7. Don't think it is BGVP DMS based on price.

Anybody has suggestions for what earphone B and D can be?? TIA!!



This is in addition to 2 other lucky bags that were on during the Anniversary sale and are still ongoing:

1) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000852951577.html
NICEHCK lucky bag (superb find courtesy of RikudouGoku ): I think the IEM in this lucky bag is the NiceHCK M6, previous best price I saw was $73.

2) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000836284897.html
TFZ lucky bag (superb find courtesy of Dcell7). $79 for one random TFZ IEM (Tequila,Queen, King II, King LTD). They are all priced more than $79 usually so it seems a good deal whichever u get, though these are older models, and I've not heard them.

B can be Auglamour T100 or Opera Factory OM1 as well. For $9.99, surely worth a punt. I'm pulling the trigger on this! Earphone D could be one from the banned brand.

My favorite IEM with lots of bass/warmth is the Bower & Wilkins C5 Series 2 but it's got significantly more upper mids than the E5000 and so is of more of a V-Shaped sounding tuning than the E5000 but still in the non-fatiguing category. Very smooth, no peaks at all.

I've been looking for such lush mids with perhaps a bit less mid-bass and less overzealous sub-bass IEM for a while, but alas none so far have quite managed that feat. Final's mid-range tuning is unique indeed.
KZ ZSX + 1/16" vent added for widened soundstage and reduced bass impact. (Maybe even bigger to diffuse bass power a bit if you need?)
I am a mids freak and these satisfy my cravings. But i also am a sub bass freak.
Bass heavy tracks will still slam however it seems rolling tips can do a good amount as far as reducing bass impact.
