Call me old fashioned but i just got this for less than $30 and it's good.

 
 
VIVO XE800. I own those too. Great earphones. Really smooth. Just a little hard to pull out of your ears as they are hard to grip. Stock tips sound good with them too. Any tips you use to increase bass just a tad w/o affecting that succulent trebel?

I tried KZ one and it helps increased the bass a bit. Maybe sony hybrid or other small bore tips will do.

HCK makes amazing stuff but I'm wary of multidriver units from AE after the QT5 fiasco.

Let me correct is . HCK sells stuff. Most of the iems you can find on taobao. Also I think they come from different mfg and rebadged / renamed.

They are ****ty as hell. Very ordinary. i have them. Only plus is that they are waterproof. Bad cable, bad finishing, ordinary sound.

Okay well I said I'd post some impressions on the Zhiyin Z2016 so...
 
Awful. Straight up, plain horrible. I think I understand now how many owners of the Qt5 felt.
 
The sound is just off. There's a huge boost in mid bass that brings vocals forward but they sound unnatural and unappealing have have sort of a reverb effect. Bass is loose and boomy and the sub-bass doesn't rumble or dig deep enough. Treble is actually pretty good but at this point who cares?
 
There's an obvious disconnect between the DD and BA drivers as if the maker just threw them all in the casing with no thought towards tuning and cohesion. One thing I discovered is that covering the pinhole port on the rear of the housing makes a huge difference to the sound. I mean huuuge. The bass almost disappears entirely and vocals sound closer to what they should be but the music is left feeling anaemic and lifeless. I've never experienced such a noticeable affect before from covering ports on an iem.
 
The build quality is excellent. The housings look good and feel great, all metal etc. The cable is also quite nice and is longer than average making me think these are meant to be worn over ear but I had problems getting a proper fit when trying to do so.
 
These were my most expensive purchase to date and are probably the worst sounding iem in my collection. I messaged the seller to let him know my opinion in the hope that they try to dissuade other interested parties from buying them.
 
The only positive thing I got from this is that the cable is detachable so at least I have a spare MMCX cable lying around.

That's a solid asking price! With import taxes it's in serious multi BA territory.

I wonder why they've decide to wreck a 6x BA with a DD
