Neat. MB Quart now does an earbud. I first knew them from car audio (tho I know they started as headphones).
How do they sound?
Not too bad for the USD$58 asking price. My suspicious is that this is coming from MB Quart's Chinese sub-company rather than from MB Quart HQ, as you don't see any mentioning if you go to MB Quart homepage. Beyerdynamic did the same with their China only DP100. It could very well just a model released by OEM under some kind of partnership with minimum involvement from the actual brand.
That's nice to hear. My BK that got replaced by Shozy doesn't sound quite as good (smooth) as the one that got sent back.
Can I also confirm with you that the length of the BK from earbud to Y-Split is shorter than that of the Cygnus? I find my BK's wires really short... Quite a bit shorter than the Cygnus which is at 1.2m. I'm not sure why...
Shozy earbuds are mostly hand-built, so it won't be exactly the same length from one to another. Early BK uses a fairly rare OCC cable that Shozy was able to source on limited quantity, which subsequently ran out. Later BK uses a slightly different OCC that was indeed being said to be lesser sounding than the original BK.
