Thanks man I'm still on the verge about them tbh.

The fit and low isolation might be an issue for me. My ears prefer thin (deep insertion) IEMs.

What are these OS packs? Are they tips or something?

Just received the KC06A's! I LOVE THESE! However, there's one thing I need to note about these phones: when I first unboxed them and put them on, when I started to play music (All We Need by Odesza if that makes a difference) there was noticeable hissing. I was like super confused and borderline angry that these $68 phones already had a defect right when I got them. HOWEVER, after less than a minute of playing music, when I played the intro again the hissing was gone! I'm assuming it had to do with the drivers being brand spanking new and just needed a little bump to get them started. 
 
Secondly, I kind of agree with some of the other posters regarding some instruments being uncomfortably loud at times. However, besides that I love everything about these phones. They incredibly detailed and balanced, which is exactly what I was hoping for in them. I've previously owned V-Moda V-80's and I loved the balanced sound signature of those, but I gave them away as a gift. I soon after bought the ATH-M50's as a replacement. I hated them. Returned them in a week because they were uncomfortable, and the bass was just way too overdone for my tastes. Although there was a lot of presence it wasn't as tight as my V-80's so I didn't hesitate to return them.
 
I would highly recommend the KC06A's, especially if you like a more balanced sound signature.

Does anyone know of a summit level headphone that has the KC06A's sound signature...But improved! I'm working with a good budget and I LOVE my KC06A. If there is a headphone doing the "KC06A jigg" but better, I'd be very interested in giving them a shot.

You might want to try the Dunu Titan 1 or the FiiO X1. They're both the same IEM but packaged differently.

  here's something interesting
http://www.shenzhenaudio.com/ostry-os100-os200-os300-earphone-turning-tips.html

Has anyone tried these tips from Ostry ?
 
I have Ostry KC 06 on loan, alongside the Dunu Titan 1.  TBH I prefer Dunu by a large margin, yet I found I need "some" kind of HF control on these - the best I came up with so far are small bore tips from my Xkdun IEMs - otherwise the Titan 1 is too bright fo my ears.
 
Now the Chinglish description of sound is a little vague - to say the least. "Dental correction medium " = ???? in English? Ok, I get the "catheter" is a nozzle of diameter 4-6 mm, meaning these tips are quite universally applicable. Does anybody know what precisely the following translated into English means ?
 

1. OS100: LF less, dental correction Medium
2. OS200: low volume foot, dental correction stronger
3. OS300: low-frequency volume, tone correction strong teeth

Hello,
I have the OS100 and for me, they bring the KC06A to a superior level.  Awesome.  The highs get tame a bit, just enough but you still get the whole detail and imaging and punch.  They are still on top of my list, especially with the OS100.
 
I also just tried the OS100 on my RHA MA750i and while I am still discovering these, I really like the combination.  Not sure yet if they give better results than the stock medium RHA tips.
 
But definitely, OS100 is a huge + for KC06A imho.

Thank you for the reply.

The cord on my KC06As is stretchy, and on my cord split V thing, there's a series of letters (BBCHPW), unlike the pictures (where it says KC06A). Are these quirks unusual? I scanned the QR code and it says they're genuine but I imagine the QR code could be copied from another pair. My last pair said KC06A on the V thing (though I don't remember if the cord was stretchy or not), but there was no QR code on the box so I was worried they were fake and exchanged them for this pair.

My cord is stretchy too. It's the "anti-bacterial TPU cable" that's stretching around the cord. And mine says "BBCHSK" on the V thing.

HAHA~  Thank you for the review. We will always focus on the technology for the people who enjoy the music

Anyone know if the KC06s sold on GearBest are genuine? The price seems a little too good to be true... Link is below:

Hi Everyone, has anybody compared KC06a to TFZ series 5? Don't which IEMs to select.

Hi Man-ili,
I never tried TFZ series 5 myself.
However, if you are looking for thick mid with boosted bass, Ostry KC06a should be good for you.
