I can't seem to find the CI880 on taobao....would like to know if you happen to see them there. Or, at least know their full name so I can do a thorough search.

.....thanks in advance.

i got them from seller "Bnzcity Shop" off amazon ($25.99) where they're listed as:
Earphones with Microphone, Powerful Bass Driven Sound Headphones, Volume Control and In-ear Noise Isolating Earbuds for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android phones and Mp3 players

no brand name--not exactly a font of useful information, but if you type in the above you'll find 'em

KZ ES3 have arrived, initial observations -

• new style box looks similar to Xiaomi's and 1More's cartons externally but with the plastic tray and plastic window from the old one.
• ZST style plug but with memory wire portion.
• Look well made, no obvious flaws on my pair.
• Treble seems less sharp than ZST's
• Sub bass can hit hard but mid bass seems controlled at least on this initial listen

Review to follow soon.

Nothing worse for a man than a floppy tomahawk

They look awesome! ...A lot of dark shiny metal.

If the mid bass doesn't muddy up the sound these might turn out to be really good... been looking for something that actually has sub bass but doens't muddy the sound

I've switched to my Cozoy Aegis and it's helped a bit with the excessive bass. Having said that it's still too much and having given it a wider range of tracks I think there's a touch too much mid bass as well.

The Svara Red's I just got are right up that avenue

It seems there is a Senzer H2 - I will be getting a pair tomorrow thanks to Amazon Prime.

Will have to dig out my H1s to see what's different

I believe it is ceramic. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Check out the review site in my signature link - wouldn't recommend the Xiaomi Hybrids unless they're the Pro HD ones but plenty of other options

You have a lot of choices. Just don't buy Xiaomi Hybrid.

For example:
Vivo XE800,

KZ ZS5 for 18$
