  Sorry but imho, Jazz and classical do not need enhanced bass and V-shaped signature to sound great. They need IEM`s that are able to go low but not being "bassy" itself by their signature.
Zircs can be fun sounding but it`s not "audiophile" and not for every taste. Maybe less personal subjective opinion based hype on these?
Just a thought...

Could not agree more. Not all of us want the "Bose"/rave venue sound signature. This is often made worse by streaming or broadcast services, who I am sure boost the bass massively, to make it sound better on poor quality equipment, especially flat screen TV internal speakers. My main UK Stereo system is set up to sound correct on classical CD's. I have a Krell KAV300iL amplifier and ATC-SCM19 principal speakers plus an ATC-C1 powered sub-woofer. Listening to streaming and broadcast music, I quite often have to turn the sub-woofer off or at least way down, as all you can hear is the bass going thump thump thump.

Bought a couple of things together and had to pay for hipping so figured i would get dhl shipping. Ordered these as well, the letv eb20: https://www.ibuygou.com/p-letv-leme-eb20-bluetooth-headphones-multiple-colors-available-6986.html. Looked too good and cheap to pass up on. They havent arrived yet but will come within the next day or two.

Are microphonics still an issue? I couldn't use the Piston 2 for travel due to the absurd amount of rustling that the cable made against my shirt. Xiaomi never really fixed the cable noise problem for the Piston 3, which I also own.

Yes there is microphonics, the cable is pretty much the same as piston 3 (plastic cable upper half and fabric covered lower half).

Seems like almost everyone is doing like Wokei and putting woven carbon fiber print on everything.

 
 
And those OnePlus IEMs better be crazy good when they're $77 and a single dynamic. (And they are $59 incl VAT directly from Oneplus Europe)

JVC Spiral Dots, Japanese Spinfits or Jaben Spinfits??? Opinions please...

 

[bavinck]

Bit of a long shot, but I thought I would ask. I am absolutely in love with Audio Technica R70X. Any ideas of IEMs with similar sonic signatures and detail level?

I may be getting the new Meizu HD50 in soon. Looks like a compelling competitor to Xiaomi's Mi headphones. I think it might surpass it.

 

[DaveLT]

The mi headphones are made by 1More and I don't have much to say about it other than its form over function and somewhat a blingy SR80 that is nowhere close to what my superluxes deliver sound wise.
And my superluxes are more than 1/2 the price.
