i got the seahf awk009 earlier last week, and i wouldn't say it's balanced sounding.

I'd say it's an IEM version of the AKG Q701, bright, airy and with less bass than the standard. It's stablemate the Ty Hi-Z G3 is pretty much the same

Quite a few who aren't though, perhaps we need someone to make an outrageous statement that draws them back to reply.

I ordered the Vots Y1 today, looks like a XE800 ripoff.

Someone here that has them? Unfortunatelly I'm still without XE800 so I can't compare.
I hope they won't be that bad for 3.31$

Had them went straight in the bin, awful!

The new update has made doing anything on mobile, other than reading, impossible. No liking posts, no quoting, no replying, nothing. I'm using Chrome on Android 7.0. I don't always have access to a PC and do the majority of my Head-Fi'ing on my phone. Perhaps the drop-off is due to other having similar issues.

That's quite unfortunate

Yes indeed. On mobile I basically can only read. Hard to believe they rolled out this change before working out such basic issues. Really dampens participation on a forum when you can't...um...particiapate.

That's sort of how I'm feeling about the Seafh AWK009 I just received from Amazon today. Compared to the KZ ED9, they really don't sound very good. Also not as good as the Rock Zircons I got last week.

In order of my liking:
1. KZ ED9 (robust sound for IEMs while using wide filters)
2. Rock Zircon (clear sound, but weak bass)
3. Seafh AWK009 (harsh sound, exaggerated highs, weak bass)

BUT, I will be playing around with EQ settings for each pair in order to find a sweet spot.

2. Rock Zircon (clear sound, but weak bass)

What? Zircons should be actually bass boosted/bassy. Extreme basshead?

From the impressions you've given I think you need to invest in some foam eartips or at least find some silicone ones that fit. Rock Zircon's are bassy, too bassy in my opinion. You're obviously not getting a seal in the ear.

It could be a similar issue with the Seahf, whilst they have a v.strong treble they aren't harsh. They are brighter than ED9 so maybe the ED9 is your limit in terms of brightness though.

Yup, my point exactly!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, they just didn't sound right. If I'd been reviewing back then I might have tried to figure out what was wrong with them.

The Zircon you say has a WEAK BASS???????

Something is VERY wrong. Try deep insertion and rotate them to the front or back of your head. The ZIRCONS are known for their Bass.
