B40 seems to work better with Hiegi full foams... I think the thicker full foams creates a better seal for my ears...

I´m using them with the provided black & blue foams which are thicker than the VE foams I tend to use and haven´t found a reason to change them, I really like the sound as it is now, and most likely ClieOs tuned them with the provided or similarly thick foams in mind. I was listening to some rock music today and thought to myself "those drums sound like real drums" something I´ve rarely experienced with buds if at all.

I also find the provided foams to be of excellent quality. They suit the B40.

Looks like @ClieOS has outdone chifi earbuds manufacturers, I haven't received it yet but most probably it will be here by tomorrow and by reading all the reviews I am sure they will be great will be looking forward to @ClieOS tuned buds, I mean if he can do this much in $10, think what be can do in more

They seem to fight EB2 and ME80, but at an even lower cost. The tuning work and driver chosen in the project were great from what i read.

The B40 are sure good for their price

Damn, mine are taking forever to arrive, thanks postal service, take your time guys...

I'm actually listening to the ME-80's right now and thoroughly enjoying them

Yup, getting a good seal is key. Do what must be done!

It's kind of crazy isn't it. The B40's got me comparing to the SR2's and the ME80's etc, and they are all friggin' good. Speaking of friggin' good (and OT lol), I also just got the cheapo Koss KPH30i headphones, and they yes, they are friggin' good!

Very addictive sound coming from these B40s that have been in my ears for the past 90 minutes or so. i sat down to listen to a favorite Leonard Cohen album....somehow ended up listening to two. Forcing myself to stop now.

Loving my newly arrived B40s.

When I firstly saw them, I was like: oh, okay; could've been worse.
But then I plugged them in and was blown away.

I'm so taken with them that I started considering some changes in my belongings, haha.

Can anyone recommend any IEMs that share similar sound characteristics?

Right now I use Tin Audio T2 (non-pro), but these are not as airy and detailed as B40.

Do someone know if Jim (from NiceHCK) is still alive ?
Many messages on aliexpress without any answer now since many weeks..
I believe that Jim is no longer the Jim we all knew in the past and surely been promoted as a commercial or something like that, as he keeps promoting his NiceHCK page everyday with new articles on facebook but now really don't care anymore about their loyal customers for years, sadly
NiceHCK was my favorite store on ali when it cames for support, but without Jim, this is no more "NiceHCK" (at least to me).
I really hope I won't have to not put NiceHCK into my blacklist, like Venture Electronics finished..

I had a small issue several weeks ago that I was messaging about with Jim. All of a sudden I received a reply from someone that did not sound like him. That person obviously misunderstood the points that were being discussed. I decided not to pursue the matter... which I had hoped would result in a $10 coupon or refund.

Yup, exact same story as you, this is sad..
