Yes, they are an exquisitely designed, extremely well-built, and truly sexy-looking dual driver earbud... composed of a dynamic driver and a multi-layer ceramic tweeter. They offer a very relaxing, laid-back signature that unfortunately can be rather dark and too smooth for many people's listening tastes. The mids are noticeably recessed (V-Shape) and quite veiled which some people detest. This veil didn't bother me at all but the ultra-smoothness did... resulting in poor resolution (clarity and detail) which adversely effects the timbre. Audiophiles generally do tend to gravitate away from V-Shape signatures as they grow in the hobby, especially with earphones (earbuds & IEMs), due to such potential side effects with clarity and timbre. Coupled with a design that is ever so slightly clunky for some whom may find the fit to be troublesome... similar awkward weight balance issues as seen with the Moondrop Chaconne where the longer stems can act like a fulcrum (lever), pulling the head & face out of the ear when the cable moves. I always felt that perhaps 1More were a few years too early with this type of design and technology.

Perhaps they were a few years too early with this type of design. They offer a very relaxing, laid-back signature that can be rather dark and way too smooth for many tastes. The mids are noticeably recessed (V-Shape) and quite veiled which some people detest. This veil didn't bother me at all but the ultra-smoothness resulting in poor resolution (clarity and detail) did as it adversely effects timbre. Audiophiles also generally do tend to gravitate away from V-Shape signatures especially with earphones (earbuds & IEMs) so there is that to consider as well.

yeah it isn't perfect for all music for sure, but when it shines, it feels like full sized open backs, which is unique
I want to see more multi-driver earbuds.
Shozy BK is a very unique earbud and what it does, it does very well. I can't think of any direct upgrade currently available. Maybe consider a Ksearphone Bell-Ti or Bell-LBBs; VE Zen LL 150Ω; or perhaps a Blur model with either a PK32 or PK150 driver these are all similar genre earbuds like the BK but with newer driver types.

Thanks. I’ve been considering the ksearphone bell earbuds. What sort of sound signature do they have? I have a ve zen ll and like it very much. On that note whats the sun dice like?!
