Huh. That's s bit disappointing, but like the other poster said they're meant to be used without foams. I guess. I've never used a pair of buds without foams on. Looks like the hard plastic wouldn't do well on the delicate tissue of the inner ear. But what do I know.Just got mine!
Build is good, not too heavy once you've got foams on and they get a decent fit in my ears. Cable isn't the best, but also not really problematic apart from holding its shape. It isn't microphonic at least.
Sound is warm neutral, but fairly dark. Treble extension isn't there really. This leaves them lacking apparent detail and separation compared to something like the Yincrow X6.
Overall I'd say they're a bit pricey vs other buds when comparing sound quality alone. The build does make up for this to a degree though.
Well... I'm still going to get them. I got into the flathead game too late and missed out on the Nameless. And the Chaccone is way out of my price range. So the price is right on these. If I don't like wearing them without foams and don't like the sound with foams then I'm not out alot of dough.
Thanks for your impressions.
