TRIBIT FLYBUDS C1
The Tribit Flybuds C1 are no joke... At all. I got them for $40 on Amazon with a 30% off coupon as they "normally" retail for $62 anymore whereas upon release they were around $80. I saw so many positive reviews & I always wanted to check them out. They sound fantastic as they are strictly a SQ set imo, with good comfort and surprising call quality. Very low latency for videos, no lip syncing weirdness. To me, my ears, they outshine the H1 at this early stage in the game. I have been going back and forth between the two. For the low price on Amazon right now it is a no brainer.
These bad boys have Apt-x, AAC, SBC with BT 5.2 running Qualcomm 3040 and have a stupid 12 Hrs on the Buds and 50 with the case. Ridiculous. These have a IPX5 waterproof rating as well.
The case is very portable and has a nice feel to it, it has that soft touch plastic and is sturdy enough, no weak points, nothing loose or cheap about it. The Buds themselves are the stem type and sit only slightly into your ear and so far have caused me no fatigue yet I also have gotten a very good seal (subjective) and good passive noise isolation with the better than average tip selection... For the first time in a very long time and too many tws to name... I am using the stock tips (subject to change).
They have a push button design and I have to say, they did a great job in positioning the push button; it is located on the stem in a very intuitive spot halfway up the stem. They look good too, I really do not like stem style and but I can dig these for sure, they do not look stupid at all.
Overall the C1 have a very dynamic and clean and clear presentation. Closer to a balanced sound sig and spacious enough. They do get pretty loud as well... Nice.
Very tight Bass and not overdone, yet it has good punch. The Bass has a faster attack with good decay and is not at all sloppy or boomy. Please do not get me wrong, the bass here is strong and has good weight as I am a man who absolutely NEEDS BASS. This is not considered a Bass head set, with the balanced tuning, yet with a lil eq it can be "just that" as these drivers seem to handle well whatever you throw at them without distortion. Sounds like a good Titanium Driver or a good Beryllium coated driver. They chose a 6mm Dynamic PEEK Composite diaphragm and implemented it nicely. The Sub-bass has good rumble when called upon and carries right over to the mid-bass with good and tight thump.
The Midrange is great here as it sounds more natural than most earbuds, especially budget buds. There is nothing unnatural or artificial and the Mids are pushed up enough to be present. Vocals are portrayed nicely as the males vocals have sufficient weight and are crisp when needed yet soft and emotional as the track calls for it. Same goes for female vocals, very pleasant. Nothing peircing in the upper mids either.
The Highs are very nice. They are extended very well and create a spaciousness and lend themselves to above average detail retrieval for a tws with the good resolution and clarity. If anything the Highs are only the slightest bit boosted over the rest of the pack here. There is nothing even slightly peircing here yet there is air to the sound, again a well implemented Driver that has been tuned well.
I must keep perspective here... This is a tws, as you know, and as you know this mini lil review is based on this fact with the shortcomings of bt well known in this group. However, my dudes... I am impressed for the amount I paid and the quality here. I don't want to say where it ranks yet, still feeling that out and I am not hyping these either but I will admit it is hard not to with such a clear presentation and good dynamics that make the music I'm listening to feel good. I can't imagine this budget set wouldn't climb my ranks of sub $100.

I've had the wired version of the se215 blue and I can confirm they have a bit more air in the mix. A bit muffled at times but they are fine. I like them much better than the original 215. Of course I haven't listened to them in about a year but for iem comparisons from time to time but they aren't a bad set at all. I agree the Foams are ridiculous, they seal amazing with the silicon tips
