It's getting Ridiculous trying to keep up. Just DON'T be lulled into the Trap that MORE DRIVERS = BETTER SOUND. At least from the Chinese Sellers. If you want to go Big Time stick with Campfire Audio, Noble, or Empire Ears, just to name a few. At least you know they are using Genuine quality components.

John Moulton made one with 20 drivers per earpiece, years ago, just for the fun of it.

I think that may be more total drivers than my entire collection of ear buds, IEMs, and headphones combined.

The Zeus has 14 drivers per earpiece not 28.
In any case driver wars are stupid.

 
 
you might as well sell 352 drivers, in which 2 only does most of the job. but yeah...no disrespect. I'm ok with 3 part hybrids. It's like asking to have 10 dentists to assist and work together in accomplishing root canal. I paid 2K for that. nope. can't afford more.

and no.it's not an argument against fuyu. you seem competent as a dentist, if not dentist-looking like fellow.

Well I just got my 1more Triple and so far I like them a lot. Being an old fart I based the # of drivers on how we bought speakers in the old days (insert old man noise here). Doubt I'll ever buy something with more than 3 drivers.

I have carbo Tenore and am wondering if MEMET X5 is better or a sidegrade. I like Tenore but the soundstage is small and I'm looking for sub $50 with better soundstage and soft treble for long session listening. I like to wear them straight down.

The BK50's are a great alternative to the MEMT X5's. But, 1clearhead has confirmed a new IEM from UiiSii called the "DT200", stated to be comparatively as good to the other two. Looking forward to more impressions on those.

Had a quick listen to the DT200 on Wednesday. By quick listen I mean listening to a song or two in a Tim Hortons. Not ideal, so take this with a grain of salt. In my brief listen the DT200 came across quite bassy without affecting the mids/treble, and with a nice open sound. There was a bit of grain to the treble, but apparently they benefit greatly from burn in of which this pair had not gone through. They seemed like something I would enjoy with more time. Would love to read some more impressions from @1clearhead

Who's balls to the wall enough to take one for the team on these?

While I'm with TWIN on the "more is not necessarily better" advise, I do like that Super-18 included an adjustable bass switch:

I wish more manufacturers would implement this, as it's a nice way to tune the sound to your liking without buying multiple IEMs.
 
Obviously KZ and Sennheiser did it on the IE80. Not sure why we don't see this more? It would only add a few dollars to the cost of the product.

SWIII have 5 total 1 dynamic + 4 B/A. I actually Gravitate toward a single or dual dynamics or hybrids with 2 or 3 drivers.

I now have in my possesion the best or at least the most unique IEM I have heard yet and it is a simple 2 driver hybrid.
