  I purchased a Gediao set awhile ago (forget what it was). They were pretty good, but nothing really set it apart from lots of others in their price range.

Thanks! ....I'll just play it safe and just buy one to see if I personally like them.

No idea. I bought Easy's SE846. Haven't said a peep about it because of the CKR9 debacle, just in case. I did cover Tingo's HA-FXT90 "themed" earphone a few pages back however. That thing is f'ing boss for ~25 CAD.

 
Good to know!

Agreed. The feedback I left specifically said leave off the Shure branding so they could be talked about on some popular online forums. :p

The Tingos unfortunately have JVC branding (poorly copied), which I was not expecting to see. The pictures showed a blank back plate. Didn't look photoshopped out. They're really good and different enough from the FXT90 to have been sold on their own merits. Disappointing that they had to toss on some false branding.


$148 for the Easy 846 is bang on $50 above the TK13 .. wish the Chinese would stop the blatant copies but luckily Easy has the number and not the brand name on them and as others have mentioned writing your impressions shouldnt be a problem? Would be great if someone could compare them with the TK13 and TK12..

The brand name is on them unfortunately. You might notice the images are very careful to never show the outside of the housing. At least it's a quality print. I'll give them that, haha.

I will say that I had access to the FLC8S for ten days, putting 30+ hours on them over that time (with the intention of writing a review). The SE846 hybrid has been a much more pleasurable experience for me than the FLC with any of the tuning settings I tried. I would have been sorely disappointed had I put down the cash on the FLC.

Wow the 846 is better than the flc8s ? Or at least on your opinion? Thats wowza !

Just look at the se215s on aliexpress. They are sold as se215s and the logos arent there in the picture but the actual product looks identical to the original and the packaging too. The only way i could tell was by checking out the memory foam.

I kid you not, they sound really close too.

I didn't say better, just that I enjoyed them more. The FLC is a great product without a doubt, they just felt a little stale to my ears. I wasn't expecting much from these 846s, but they're actually quite nice.

I've got the SE215 from Ali as well. They sound great for the price but are clearly a flat out copy (packing and accessories are spot on like you said) and not worthy of discussion in these forums.

Easy SE846 sounds interesting, - wondering how the sound signature like? are they bass heavy? Is the sound tunable like with various filters or such.
 
TIA

You can see the S and E in the standard Shure font on them. I also wish they would stop ripping off intellectual property. And stop littering the product name with rubbish like this: Quote: "New SE846 4Units 3 Balanced Armature With Dynamic Earphone SE535 K3003 UE900 DIY Headset Custom Made SE846 Around Ear Earphone"
 
What is that supposed to tell you? A UE900S, sounds nothing like a SE846 or K3003 -

 nothing on them is custom made.
 
Since we now clearly established it's a fake - please don't discuss it anymore.
 
Anyhow - am done with Easy now - still selling fakes. Tsk tsk tsk.

I agree. We already established they were fakes way back when they first showed up in the forums, which is why they haven't been discussed so far. It's also why you will find a complete lack of any description of sound, build quality, accessories, etc. anywhere. It certainly is disappointing that Easy sells fakes since he is capable of creating and selling unique products.

Name dropping is usual on all sites like eBay or AE, sellers are trying to get the maximum visibility with the most popular names in a category, quite irritating when you're acyually looking for the genuine product.

Really sad, because if it's really sounding good and is finely tuned we won't be able to discuss it and share with others.
With 94 orders, it looks successful anyway.
