Penon Audio also goes by the Name Bigbargainonline on Ebay.


Oh, didn't know they were Penon, though I have already seen that name on e-bay.

So far, the Xiaomi Quantie's might be the cheapest hybrid money can buy, or at least, it sure looks like it.
 
I can point out so far that the bass is incredibly tuned, vocals are neither recessed or forward and the highs are starting to sound very nice and crisp. They remind me more of the Piston's 2, but perfectly tuned to have better control on bass, while the highs are greatly improved. They are light and easy on the ears and have the fun factor signature that keeps you engaged. The Quantie's benefits greatly on tip-rolling where you can really get a better soundstage and high definition out of them. The housing and everything else about them shows a lot of quality for the money spent. These could be there best, yet!
 
.....will continue burning them.

Ah damnit I'm hyped for the Xiaomi Hybrids now! Hopefully someone that has other hybrid IEMs get them too and let us know how they compare sonically. 
 
Has anyone tried the Letv earphones btw? They look decent for $12 but I haven't seen any real reviews with photos and stuff.

The cable looks horrible tbh. Really not a fan of the rubber coated clear type cables or whatever they are. For some reason that seller doesn't seem to give the official accessories set either.

  They ARE the Hybrids. Quantie (圈铁) is just its Chinese name.
 

 
Wow ok that makes perfect sense. As an ethnic Chinese I'm ashamed that I've been reading it at "Kuan-ti"...

 This is China we're talking about after all.. QuanTie (pronounced chuen-tyair) is definitely the hybrid word. Circular metal lol..

XD I kinda read it as Chuan-tye, or something along those lines. I kinda studied Chinese when I lived there a few years ago.

The controller/Mic looks suspiciously like pistons 3

As for the cable, to each his own.

I don't know, it looks fairly well made and of good materials:thumbsup:
Sure you want to go out on that line for $12 big ones:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Just got my AudioSense V2 DDS4 today. Impressed with these right out of the box, but can see how they may benefit from burn in.
Excellent packaging and well built.
This coming from my recent foray into KZ land, where packaging is often minimal.
The seller took a bit long, a month from the time I bought them, but partly my fault, they were out of the color I requested, and I didn't get back to them until at least a week after the order to clarify my next color choice.
At this point I am happy with my $20 purchase.
