Thanks, but I'm in Europe. Penon Audio has it though, and it's cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VIVO-XE800-...arphone-Mic-/272545452247?hash=item3f74f990d7
I'll wait for our guinea pig Nymphonomaniac anyway.

"adaptive catheter design" YIKES!!! Just what are they selling? Made me cross me legs.

Interesting that on the Penon site it is $99 https://penonaudio.com/vivo-XE800

Yes, I noticed it. I wonder if it's even worth the $25 they're asking for on eBay, though.

Hum, now i'm a little confuse one say it's legit and seller answer it's a copy...the goal is to have this GR07 driver in it! But Miss shirley sell lot of iem so I will give it a try and for sure I will compare it to the almighty Urbanfun

Oh...but this one look more legit and consumer compare them to GR07 so....well well, 8$ more but brand name is Gevo and other shirley is Fitma Audio (find other X800 with this name too).

How do you know they're genuine?

How do you know they're genuine?

There was a lot of talk on the Vivo xe800 thread by people who owned the originals plus people who performed measurements on them and this was one of sellers confirmed as selling genuine ones.

Check the reviews as well.

Here's the thread:

Tricky one as the better earphones don't usually have three buttons in that price range. Only brands I know that have three remotes are the UiiSii Hi range, some Remax, GGMM and Xiaomi.

exactly, that's why i bothered asking. i know a couple of good sounding cheap earphones, but none with a 3-button remote.

 

[Saoshyant]

At that price, Monk+ with 3 button mic, but that's not an IEM.

Or buy IEM with removable cable and get the 3-button cable You want separately.

Also, wireless cable maybe (dunno if there is such 3-button one)?

it might be nicer, but it's a bit out of the $15-20 budget...
