Maybe I received a dud over Penon but I heard nothing like that out of my unit and there were many who found them a "big mess".
I had hollow, muddy with weird imaging experience. Gave them to stranger at bus.
Sounds like they were out of phase.

Yeah, the pair I got was one of the worst IEMs I've ever heard.

Oh, I was almost placing an order for them because they wouldnt break the bank but you made me hesitate... Perhaps they have changed the tuning? But we all hear differently of course...

No. They just sounded bad.

In this case it is certainly not about hearing things differently. Idk if they fixed issues or pulled-back bad units (unlikely) but I would keep away from those as there are lot of other great options for such price. Also, build quality was so-so, too plasticy feel to everything (they were very lightweight) and fixed cables are also kinda "last century".
I´m sure though that some units were good ones as some ppl gave very good impressions on these. It was my worst IEM ever and I didn`t want to try another one (still don`t).

I think it is because IryxBRO just gave them a positive review. :wink:

I didn't like it eaither from the start with regular stock eartips that I am usually using with other IEMs. But with the 2 flanged eartips - sound gets much better. Moreover, we are what we hear - comparing those to GeekWold, HLSX and couple of more budget IEMs I have - those are significantly better. The options that would make a good leap in SQ in my collectin are starting with $45 price.

Here's the source of the discrepancy: the R6 Pro makes.everything sound good.

Maybe. But you should stick to something in order to eliminate the source difference. It is R6Pro for me now.
Anyway, Rose NF didn't sound thin on mids, dirty on treble, mixed in instruments and too heavy on bass. I can choose any of this options or the combination to describe other budget IEMs I have.

These duck heads are available now on AliExpress under the name Ren Teng IX12. The price is really low for 3DD+1BA setup.

I tried a lot of different tips, not much change to better. HLSX-808 were miles better SQ despite slightly harsh treble (which could be "cured" little with ultra-wide-bore tips).
