I'm leaving for the airport now but have got about 30 minutes with them and I'm not impressed. My advice to anyone curious about them is don't bother. I'm not going to bring them with me so more impressions will be Sunday the earliest.

Sorry to hear that buddy, was hoping it was gonna be another gem

@Peter123,
 
I'm going to receive a pair of dual BA Armature IEM's next week by Kinera. Do you have any experiences on these? ....I'm hoping they come out sounding sweet.

Thanks for taking one for the team! But the xiaomi hybrid should be quite good so we still have that to look forward to

At least at ~$15 USD the xiaomi - how the heck do you pronounce that - won't be a huge loss if it don't pan out.

For those in the US interested in the Xiaomi Hybrid, Gearbest is selling it with 3-7 day shipping for $22. Best price I've found with quick shipping so far.

Havi B3 Pro 1. My music preferences are similar to yours haha, I listen to a lot of Wagakki Band and Vocaloid covers with real instruments these days. Havi is very VERY open sounding with its thus far unparalleled soundstage (in this price range and quite a bit beyond), has fantastic imaging, separation and layering. Basically it was just about MADE for live music. It's also fairly neutral and balanced sounding with just a touch more in the mids which gives it that magical quality with female vocals. Some may find it a little thin or lacking in sub bass but I've loved it since I got it a year ago. Even with newer toys, I still find myself going back to the Havi every so often.

Damn right Psyren. 
 
TBH it is pretty scary considering buying one of these IEMs...I want to make a one-time purchase and it seems there isn't much in the way of direct comparison between these and the traditional brands(high-end anyway). Afraid of ending up with something worse than my dead Pro 30s. Obviously it would still be a great deal for the price, but a downgrade for me. Saving so much money is definitely attractive though. :\

Well I thought for sure Wokei was going to have a coronary over this but once I watched it I realized she is not Hyuna

It's like the Japanese version of "Bang a Gong, get it on"

They rock it Red

+2. It's still one of my top 3 IEM's despite all the others coming in during the last two years

Ditto Sir

Lol, true dat. Although I'm no hunter I'm sure I'll find some use for them

You can always use them to freak out airport security. If they really are meh, no great loss if they get confiscated

The KZ HDS-1 is the best KZ yet. Love the quality of sound it puts out for $10.
