Sorry to hear that. That stinks that they’re not what you like, especially at that price.
In my oppinnion, the JQ Hua Jiang, makes no sense, considering it's a tribrid with 2EST + 6BA + 1DD.
Bass: The JQ Hua Jiang has
no bass. I'm saying this, and i'm no basshead. It's almost impossible for me to believe that this has 1DD. I owe the Audiosense T800, Audiosense AQ3, BGVP DM6. And of all three of these IEMS, two of them being BA only IEMs, they all have
more bass presence than the JQ Hua Jiang. From the IEMs that i own, the order of IEMS with the most bass presense would be Audiosense T800 -> BGVP DM6 -> Audiosense AQ3 -> JQ Hua Jiang -> Vsonic VS7. I've also went through a lot of tip rolling and gave the JQ Hua Jiang plenty of burn-in time, however, the bass stayed exactly the same as it was.
Mids: Female vocals sound shouty and the male vocals are really far behind in the back. Out of all the IEM that i own, the male vocals on the JQ Hua Jiang are the most furthest in the back.
Treble: They sound pretty airy with their extended treble! But they also sound very harsh (3k is very harsh on these)
Soundstage: The soundstage on these are average, not much to say. Out of all the IEM that i own, the order with the most soundstage would be Audiosense T800 -> JQ Hua Jiang -> Audiosense AQ3 -> BGVP DM6 -> Vsonic VS7
The resolution on these are really good, but the seperation is pretty aweful.
I've been actively using the JQ Hua Jiang for about a week now, and have gone through several tip rolling/different cables.
DAPs/DAC used were the iBasso DX160(v2020), Fiio M11 and E1DA 9038S
Conclusion: If i were given these to listen to while blindfolded, i would A: Never had guessed these had 1 DD, and B: would have estimated these to cost around $280-300.
Best part of the JQ Hua Jiang for me was the unboxing experience.
