To make it even MORE complicated, technically you should remove every thing after the B00EA8S5HS/.  Because what follows the product link is a reference code that Head-Fi is not a big fan of.

So it should read:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EA8S5HS

New wood looking multi drivers from Easy and hck. Looks like a BA arms race.

So I have a funny story to tell...

I ordered the Easy UEs almost a whole month ago now. Yesterday USPS attempted to deliver to my house, which I moved out of a week ago. I figured to keep things simple I could just go over there and pick it up (I didn't move far). They did not leave it there or leave a notice, so I then went to the post office to pick it up. The man there told me some stuff (he mumbled) and what I got out of it if they my Easy UEs might be getting sent back to Easy...

I may never get my hands on the beautiful 2016 Easy UEs...

On the other hand my mother (I'm still a teenager in school living with my mother, not an adult) said she filled out a form so that all things shipped to that address will be forwarded, but I don't know if she filed it for USPS.

Who knows.....
Guess it wasn't that funny

Anyone know why so many chinese IEMs use the same type of cable as pictured, many even have the same generic aluminum knurled plug and black plastic microphone. Do companies get all their designs manufactured by one plant or something?

Just recieved my first set of headphones from Ali!
 
Rock Zircon, LZ Z0A3s, and Monk + all arrived today....can't wait to test these out!
 
It's my first time jumping into the asian headphone market and I'm excited to see how these all do tonight!

Looking forward to more impressions and comparsions of the ZhiYin QT5. Trying to decide between them and the ShockWave III
 
Also found this nice amp/dac on taobao. The first one I've seen without any SMD resistors and capacitors:

Not enough hours in one evening, I wouldn't know where to begin. (Actually, I would, I'd head straight for the Monk+ first)

I have to say I'm not a fan of these wood or "wood grain" IEMs. They look like cashews or something. Give me all metal housings instead any day.

That said I do love all these multi-driver units coming out these days. Right now I'm most excited to hear how the DUNU DK4001s stand up against the market (and how they end up being priced).

This is freaky as hell!!!!
 
I actually JUST came here to post this:

And ask about them. Not having seen this thread or anything...what are the chances of that?
 
So yeah whats the verdict? A beautiful 5-BA unit for ~$120? Sounds too good to be true. Do they have horrible engineering? Complete lies? Whose to say that there's actually 5 drivers in them? 
 
Any info would be tops!

Lunashops also has a 5 armature for $149 (no cable)

I have several Lunashops cables and tips, and they are very good.

Lol I went straight to the monks. So much hype! So far pretty damn impressed.

What tips are you using. I just got some donuts off Amazon today in prep for when mine arrive. Donuts apparently bring out mids and highs and full foam is for bass

I'm glad I got the LeTV reverse in-ears for $5. They're back up to $15 now, and are still a good value at that price. Xiaomi Piston build quality with more neutral sound. It doesn't have the detail and resolution to be a giant killer, but works great in a pinch.
