299 RMB, around $46 US dollars. This is an incredible done deal for me!
Only package design and beautiful presentation worth more than that

I bought the one from miberia.com. 34 euro with shipping, 24 hours delivery to Croatia.
This thread has made me buy Yincrow X6, K's LBB, Toneking Viridis (beacuse the praise from @RikudouGoku for female vocals), graphite OpenHeart, Tingo TC200
and **** BK2. The **** BK2 was my first modern earbud, I am mostly an IEM guy, and they are a totally different experience. The soundstage and tonality is addicting.
I wanted to upload some pictures but @1clearhead did a much better job.
1MORE E1008 is my favourite so far. I use them with donut foams over the silicon one that comes on the bud. The seal is the best I had with an earbud. This is IEM level bass.
This is my first post to end my years of lurking here on headfi.org

Now, in the other hand these are another TOTL for me!!! I sometimes wonder how this one almost got away from me!

LOL! Working and living in China for more than 15 years, I would surely know the difference between a fake and a genuine product. :wink:

So, take a look at my new friend! :point_down::yum: And, may I dare to say that the sound signature are preferably the "earbud version" of the LZ A7, haha!

I'll be comparing them to the JCALLY EP09 very soon, so stay tuned!

Nice, looks super beautiful.

The cable looks a bit thin and is it microphonic? Since it is non detachable?

Just going to mention that this is pretty standard from them, like with the Piston 2 (20 usd) from 2013/2014.

I don't think the cable will be a failure point. I've had some 1More IEM's and some of their Xiaomi branded ones. Cable was never a failure point, mostly theft and mechanical accident 🤣
Thats the opposite experience I had. The only cables in my entire audio life that has died on me, where the ones from the Piston/hybrid series. And I mean, EVERYONE of them died. It was the sole reason why I always bougth a new one. Because the cable always died on me. Piston 2 -> Hybrid -> hybrid pro and I bought multiple units of the same model sometimes, they usually died after around 3 months. (its why I got pissed off at them and went to look after alternatives and thats how I discovered KZ from a reddit post lol.)


Although to be fair, the E1008 cable DO look better than the ones used in their old iems...so hopefully they improved on durability.

I had the E1008 a few years back. If I'm not wrong the cables are Kevlar reinforced.
Thats what they claimed the Piston/hybrid cables are as well. Didnt help in my experience lol.

Xiaomi Piston 2.1 was my first in-ear love. I was a over-ear guy. I borrowed them to my brother and that was the last anyone seen them. I bought the Piston 3 or whatever the model was and that wasn't what i liked. Then went into the head-fi rabbit hole and bought some KZ's.
Last year I did some research and decide to update my collection, because I started walking to my job to avoid exposure to the thing that is out there. First some very nice IEM's and then wanted to try some earbuds. Big mistake 😁

It could be the standard for everyone, and I would be happier.
In terms of sound quality which model in your collection (including DIY PK one with goddess cable), sound better than 1More E1008?
