Just got myself a B stock pair.... Very, very, very happy with them.
Only trouble I had was with the stock cable that came with them but it proved not to be a big deal... I think there might have been something wrong with it, as I tried it with a couple of players and both shut down immediately (as if they were sort of shorting out, possibly). Both players were fine, once I restarted them without the IMR1 and cable at the end, and changing the cable to another one was enough to solve the question.
Since I got myself a pair of B stock rated B+, at a cost of £250, and apart from the non-functional cable I could not really say these look like B stock (and the cable actually LOOKED fine too, tbh - just did not work
), I'm VERY happy with the overall purchase (and I don't really need the stock cable, as I have plenty of other ones).
First impressions are that these are really interesting IEMs, bordering on brilliant - and at the price point of B stock an absolute steal!
Listening with the blue filter, at the moment, and burning them in - only tried black and pink filters otherwise, but blue seems to be the one most in line with my personal tastes. I'll still give a listen to copper and orange, once they're burned in, but from the description, I expect that I may like them less (as I think that they'll be bassier, while diminishing treble more than black/pink).
As for amp yes/no, they seem to need a bit more juice than the average IEM, but nothing my DAPs can't handle by themselves. I don't expect I'll use an amp, me.
