That's the only downfall. Unless you want to pay expensive shipping costs, you gotta wait a month for the slow boat. Find sellers that use Epacket if possible. It ships much quicker and doesn't cost much more.

Got the mh405 (U shaped sound, actually I was impressed), but I will wait for 417 for review

The 407 is the best clarity wise. The 401, 403, 405, and 417 are all good for the price, but each have their own set of flaws. There are several $60+ chinese earphones out now that just sound much better. The 401 is my favorite aside from the 407 based on design, and the inclusion of foam tips.
 
The 415 will be releasing soon, and looks very good.

Got my 417 and 405 before christmess, but I have not sufficient time to evaluate them

I've got em. They're a solid pick, though not outstanding in any way:

- weak bass for a dynamic (pretty comparable to the Sony XBA2/UE600 that I have, so its adequate)
- good vocal presence
- well extended treble that lacks a bit of sparkle
- small, comfortable, but the built in ear guides can be a little annoying since they lack any real memory. I found they have to be heated and shaped.

I know these comments are not super positive, but they are nice little iem when you actually get the chance to use them. I have no regrets for buying them.

i know this if hype-fi but i appreciate your honest opinion!
 
i already ordered them a week ago but shipping takes about a month from china so i was curious how others thought of them.
I ordered 5 cheap pairs of iems in total and I'm looking forward to comparing them.
 
most people seem to like the pistons the most but I'm not sure how they hold up on outside use since they're pretty open. The somics should isolate better.

You are welcome. I hope you enjoy them and all the other inexpensive ones you picked up.

The Pistons isolate well enough. Not to the level of the Somics, but they're definitely not bad.
