I've received i.valux 10mm hybrids today, so far so good. Not DN1000 level good, but not bad for the money. I had to replace DN1000 because of the stiff cable issue which cause the cable to break and rendering the iem's useless.
 
Any burn-in recomended for Bette's/i.valux?

The more the better. They will transform to +DN2000 level. They lose any trace of siblance and the Bass fills in and gets fast. I now have +240 hours on mine and they are Surgically precise. STILL a little bright for my personal tastes, but a VERY good Phone. Right now they are the best in my collection, SQ wise, edging out the Trinity Delta and Dunu Titan.

Thanks, this is excellent news. And those were exactly 2 things that I dislike a bit - sibilance and just tiny bit bloated and slow bass, but just tiny-tiny bit :D
 
DHL were supposte to deliver $50 ali-ckr9ltd today to my office, but I was hit with cusoms and vat charge (€30 for 2 pairs), but I have forgot my wallet and need to wait till tomorrow. Need to build some burn-in station :p

At least 50 hours is recommended.

BTW: a +DN2000 level is based upon my audio memory of the pair I used to own and may NOT be entirely reliable.

Absolutely understandable. I managed to 'fix' DN1000 with a bit of epoxy putty, waiting for it to set down. DN1000 have more than 200 hours, I'll compare them A2B with i.valux oncce I will pass the 50 hours mark on those. So happy with the purchase :D

Believe it or not My Bass started to fill in more after 200 Hours of Burn in. Some view burn in as witchcraft, I don't. Even the Bettes manufacturer recommends it. They just don't state HOW long....
 
I have the original NON-i.valux bettes in Red-rose color.  I have no idea if there is a difference. For $43 dollars they are OUTSTANDING.

The title on Ali-X says Bette/i.valux. Based on your description before burn-in and my own experience OOB I would say they are same phones, probably OEMed for 2 different brands.

Either way they are one of the best buy's this year, if not the best.

  Hello everyone! Review of the RHA S500i is up :D

nice review! i love how tiny the s500s are ! 
 
despite being a microdriver, it looks like even small "earred" folk will fit well
 
 
the brighter nature i think will help complement the line up they have.
 
being a bit of a treble head myself, that sounds intriguing
