  Yeah, they surely look nice. Though, cables look like garden-hoses and remind me KZ ED9 brown cable (which is worst cable ever I`ve had). Also, from FR graphs by CLieOS, I read out that they are little bass oriented, that`s why I leaned towards HLSX808 in the end.

Well I can live with that cable, same one that's on my ZN1's. I don't seem to have near the trouble others have with cables in general!

Stretch to £27 and you can get a Xduoo x2. Utterly superb for the money. Cheaper on eBay than Aliexpress.

Tends to cost about 33$ sometimes on sales on aliex!

I was just about to suggest that, sent my oldest boy one and a pair of black ED9's for his birthday a month back and he absolutely loves it but he was just listening to his Android and I'm pretty sure Skull Candy's before and I can see where he got excited

Saw some hybrid headphones for the first time on Taobao. 6 BA + 50mm driver if I'm reading the translation correctly.

Really want to see the insides. How can a 50mm driver not overshadow the BA drivers?

Well, KZ cables tend to have overall bad quality(rubbery, springy and sticky) and worst part about them is higher impedance than most cables (I`ve measured many of them against aftermarket cables during modding my IEM`s). But of course this is just my subjective opinion  and some IEM`s may even benefit from little higher impedance cable.

Thanks; I knew comments had been made regarding the controls of the Ruizu and I had planned to write some simplified instructions...is it really that bad?? :blink:

I can't find much info on the two you've linked and price wise, they're pushing me a little if I want to include any reasonable earphones, though if someone can provide any insight...

I paid 6usd for EDR2 and 9 for ATE, for this ridiculously small amount of money I would call the cables good, solid, durable, non-tangle, I have no idea what you mean by sticky?!?

I've used an android with a sabre dac, an iPod nano 7th gen, a Ruizu x2 and an Xduoo all in the last month. The Xduoo is in another league compared to the others. Only bad thing is the small display and the having to use Drivesort after loading media. Sound quality and usability are excellent.

There`s something similar on aliexpress too. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MaGaosi-Hybrid-a-Dynamic-six-Balance-Armature-unit-wooden-noise-isolating-headband-earphone-headphone/32659579128.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.2.Xl0jC0&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_2_10017_10034_10021_507_10022_10020_10009_10008_10018_9999_10019,searchweb201603_9&btsid=a5794c09-cb6f-470f-9066-c6cbc6496b6f
 
It`s supposedly from same DIY "company" as HLSX808 - Magaosi: http://www.szhlsx.com/productdetail.shtml?id=1
 
ABout DD overshadowing BA units - maybe it uses different placement and "chambers" to even them? Who knows.

All the KZ cables I've had have been "sticky" overly rubbery

 

[Lurk650]

  Thanks man, I appreciate the thought, but I ordered a load of those from Easy (along with the wide bore dual flanges) with my last purchase, so I'm all set
 
For some reason, wide bore tips work for me.
 
I am curious about trying spinfits and auvio though, but they seem to be hard to get by in Europe. It's possible, but the costs associated just get too high for a pair of tips, IMO.. 

SpinFit you get from Ebay, easy peasy.

I'm planning on purchasing the cheapest Easy UE out there, the one that goes for $15. I am really lusting over the beauty of the earphones and am all ready to pull the trigger. Any reviews on them here coz I didn't find any. Just want to know if they can at least compete with the KZs. Thank you.

Yep, that`s what I meant. Only ones that haven`t been overly rubbery and sticky are ANV, GR and R35.

Sometimes I wonder just how good all these custom multi driver ue's sound, I mean I know these guys can stuff these shells with drivers but are they really tuning them great for $16 too
