I'm in love with someone else, don't tell my wife. It is the NICEHCK DIY MX500 PK1. Such a fantastically fun sound, but more on that later.
There are multiple options for color of the cable and housings. There are also two different kinds of cables. The earbud used for this review is the "Black Silver MX500". I picked this version because I personally thought it looked the coolest.
Build is very decent with good materials. My only complaint is that the version of the cable I have is prone to microphonics. With the thin diameter of the cable, these can be worn over the ears to eliminate any noise.
Sound is just too much fun! Great quality, controlled sub-bass with mid-bass that stays out of the mids. Speaking of the mids, they are very engaging and musical. Vocals sounds smooth and accurate, but not overly forward. Highs have enough detail, though they do roll off early, I would not suggest these for analytical listening. However, they are wonderful for extending listening sessions.
Overall these are one of the most enjoyable earbuds I have had the pleasure of listening to in quite some time. Even with a bit of microphonics, from the version cable I have, I still find myself reaching for the NICEHCK DIY MX500 PK1 more and more. They have been my main earbud at work for the past week and it is helping to keep me awake and focused with some killer tunes. So, for the satisfying sound, I highly recommend these earbuds.
