Blue team go! haha

I saw that too but looking at the images closely, especially the last one of the black model, it looks like the relief is glued. I also couldn't see anything inside the housing around where the relief enters. But yeah, if not removable no big deal. It would be nice if it was though. 

I hope they turn out to be winner as well. They look the part!

Haha yes. From what the seller told me, they should actually be good for the price. He assured me that i wpuld love the audio quality. Fingers crossed.

Its just one picture that reads detachable cable,so Did the seller confirm if its a detachable version or fixed cable version? It doesnt really matters for the price and features but still a question..........blue is sexy and black is gorgeous,nice finish and seems good build quality too looking at the pictures.$7 for a dual dynamic?I put a pause of X5 purchase for now.

I've seen a lot of people talk about height when discussing earphone soundstage. From what I can gather the outer ear and the physical shape of our own head have a key role in how we perceive position - front/back up/down.  As earphones bypass the pinna it's really impossible to hear height as that information is missing.
 
I think the brain can interpret timing/volume differences to give us a perception of depth although it's not as accurate as hearing this naturally. 
 
Now in reading up on all of this I did find this site that has a whole heap of tests/sound files etc. that are probably ideal for testing audio kit, including an 'ultimate headphone test': -

There's also this one that fakes the pinna transforms (outer ear) to hear sound moving position vertically/backward etc.

Plus this one with a freaky door knock effect that's too real for words.

Hello guys i wanted to share with you my review of Xiaomi Wireless Earbuds which i consider solid option.
 

 
I hope you enjoy it, if any question feel free to ask

 

[1clearhead]

 
​Well I have to agree with yangian, I too really like the UiiSii Hi-905.  I will try to describe what I hear from these earphones so you can decide whether they fit your preferences.
 
First fit was difficult but once I figured it out I found them to be very comfortable.  I had to use a larger than normal tip, I usually find the large KZ starline tips work for me but had to use a larger tip with the Hi-905.  I insert the earphone with the cable down and twist the bottom up while pushing in a little and stop when the cable is about at the 8 o'clock position, this seem to seat the tip deeper in the ear canal.  I then run the cable over my ear. By doing this I was able to get a good seal that produced the best sound.
 
I would classify the sound signature as balanced and tending towards neutral.  Other earphone that I own that I would classify as having a similar signature would be Vivo XE800, Havi B3 Pro. and BYZ K17.  As for headphones I would also place the AKG Q701 with this list. 
 
I don't think many people have experience with the BYZ K17 so I will compare the Hi-905s to the XE800 and B3 Pro.
 
Treble
 
Like the XE800 the Hi-905 is well extended and provides crisp detailed treble.  With the Hi-905 the notes in the treble seem to be a little thicker resulting in a richer sound.  I believe some would consider both these on the bright side and I did have to burn in the XE800 for over 400 hrs. to get the treble to where I like it and I think I am quite treble tolerant.  On occasion I notice the XE800 to be sibilant but I have not noticed this with the Hi-905.
 
I find that the treble on the B3 Pro is not quite as extend and although it is detailed it lacks the crispness of the XE800 and Hi-905.  The B3 Pro would be the best choice of the three for anyone who is treble sensitive.
 
Bass
 
As far as bass the Hi-905 is very similar to the tight punchy bass of the XE800 however the Hi-905 has more sub bass.
The bass on the B3 Pro is not as tight or punchy as either of the other two.  I find that the amount of bass is very similar on all three but I prefer the punchier bass on the XE800 and Hi-905
 
Mids
 
All three of these earphones do a good job on the mids and as say I find them to balanced so the mids are not forward or recessed.
 
Sound stage,
 
The B3 Pro is known for a wide sound stage and I find that the Hi-905 equals the width of the B3 Pros sound stage.  Both these earphones have a wider sound stage than the XE800.
What sets the Hi-905 apart is in the positioning of instruments they have height, layering and a forward dimension.  1clearhead referred to this as a holographic effect and what I find it does is provide a sense of space and openness that I have not found with any of my other earphone. 
 
So if you like big extended bass, then yes, you will find the bass on the Hi-905 lacking.  If you are treble sensitive you will probably find the Hi-905 bright.  If you prefer a balanced earphone that is neutral, you will likely like the Hi-905.  If you are like me and are looking for a headphone that has something that sets it apart from the others in your collection, then the holographic effect might be that something.
 
I have been using the Hi-905s for over a month now and like them more and more with each listening session.  Do I like to throw on a bassier pair periodically, yes I do, but I find the Hi-905s best suit my preferred sound signature. 

+1 You hit the nail right on the head! ....Great review!

 

   

Great review! I had Havi before. I cannot AB them now. From memory, 905 does not lack bass quantity than Havi. I would add that 905 has much better soundstage height than Havi. This is the first Chi fi product I found that can make such a great soundstage height and such a holographic sound!! Not only height, width and depth is also excellent, especially depth.
On sound signature, 905 is much brighter than Havi and M4. Havi and M4 have very similar sound signature.

 
Nice impression! 

 ....thanks for the added information, since I never heard the Havi's or the M4's as of yet.

Bought my Fxt90 from them and had a short discussion about other products. No problem whatsoever, very kind people.

Just curious, but how well do the m1221 fare against the lz a4 or k3 pro? 
 
It is quite strange seeing how m1221 user is rather under represented here, given how highly rated and good sounding it is.
 
Anyway, some sneak peak of my free cable from Sendiy:

It is not ready yet, but let's hope that they will have it done by the next month.

It looks like the MaGaosi K3 Pro is going to be ~US$97 during the AliExpress' 7th anniversary sale that starts next week: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Newest-MaGaosi-Hybrid-In-Ear-Earphone-2BA-with-1DD-HIFI-Bass-Metal-In-Ear-Headset-With/119089_32737134982.html
 
Edit: Some other unmentionable sellers have it for cheaper.

Great @nerdspot , this may finally push me right over the edge on the K3. You should be proud of carrying on the Head-Fi tradition

I thank you, my wallet not so much

LOL

p.s. What will really suck is if the offer the Sendiy M1221 for the same price

 

[nerdspot]

The M1221 will 'only' be ~US$138 during the sale. :/

  did you recieve the MEMt x5 yet ?

Don't expect too much. The MEMT earbuds went over horribly in the earbud thread many months ago...

The X5 is an IEM and has been hyped as being excellent. X3 was the bud.

What do you mean, they are not as good as others say they are?
