They are banned here and not allowed to talk about them now. Reason why you don't hear about them anymore

 
Ah that explains. I was also looking into some of the DIY 5 BA earphones on aliexpress. Some reviews say they outperform the Shure SE846. Anybody got experience with these low cost unknown 3-6 BA earphones?

Hi there! 8m new in the forum and I want to buy my first ever Chinese iems... Which ones would you recommend in the 20-30$ price range? I'll be using them for commuting and public transport, so good isolation is a must. From the sound standpoint I prefer balanced headphones with present sub-bass but that don't compromise mid range at all, although if highs are slightly recessed it's not that big of a deal. Also which tips would you recommend that I can buy from AliExpress? I've been thinking about spinfits, but I don't know which size to order and I wouldn't like to waste 5 bucks in a pair of tips... Sorry for the long post and thanks for bearing with me!

Got the Vivo xe800s in.  They're a little bass light, but I'm coming from bassier earphones.  Haven't tried playing with EQ to see how they respond.  I like the slightly forward midrange, which is my preferred signature.  Soundstage is a little closer than I expected, which isn't a complaint as I like Grados in full sized cans.  A little brighter in treble than my preference. I literally just popped them in and haven't had a chance to develop any detailed first impressions. 


 


Wasn't excited about their build quality when I opened up the package.  The cable especially leaves a lot to be desired. 


 


I like the idea of the adjustable nozzles in theory, but they're another moving part and I could envision them becoming loose.  I was worried because they're a shallower fit than I typically like, but it doesn't look like I'll have a problem maintaining a seal with them.  


 


I'd been intending to wear them over-the-ear, but am wearing them down. 


Just under a month from China to Canada. Had to sign for them, which I thought was sorta odd.

**** UEs with foam tips maybe? Or you could go **** 4in1 and use them over ear because the weight might be a problem for walking or public transport from what I have read

Well, I have the **** UEs and I agree with foam tips, as the treble is way too high for my liking and I come from the sound signature of Xiaomi Pistons 2. The vocals are clear but treble spike is crazy (due to the a higher frequency of the mid and upper range of this IEM), bass is least muddy and not too bassy like Xiaomi Pistons 2. I think i like the instrument separation of the **** UEs but needs the treble spike is too much for me hahahaha. Any IEM budget $50 which can hang the same league as **** UEs bro?

V shaped and warm are opposites. Which would you prefer?

I wouldn't call them opposites, but yeah, they are generally different sound signatures. You can have a warm sound signature with boosted vocals and treble, which is sort of what I get the feeling he is asking for. In that case, hit up Thinksound. IMO, they have the best implementation of warm sound signatures to date.
