....Alright im pissed right now. DD-audio store told me like 3 times, that my urbanfun would be shipped out this week. Ordered on 3 march and now they are telling me they are out of stock and have to wait for 15 april for their "expected" shipping date....This is the second time that they have lied to me about the waiting time and dragged it out for months. Makes me want to cancel the order altogether for lying to me time and again, ff****ing pieces of crap.

Thank you so much for this info. I was gonna order it today and have been going back and forth in my head but your post has convinced me.. With all the other issues, suspect QC, Switching of speaker materials and so forth and now this. I think I will pass for now.. Thanks again

Saw a good deal today. The Echobox Finder X1 are around $10 on Amazon US. You might want to pair with some warmth and carefully choose a filter and stick with it since the threading isn't know for durability. But can't go wrong for the clear-out price.

I like them quite a lot as a budget set. I bought a pair at $22 bucks and have gotten a lot of use out of them, and then bought a backup pair (still in the box today) when Amazon had them a couple of months ago for $10. Agreed on the filters though, I had one disintegrate within seconds of trying to replace it.

If I'm not wrong, I suspect it is the NICEHCK M6 based on their description. But do correct me if anyone has other possibilities?

- 4 BA + 2DD - 6 drivers according to description
- originally retailed around $125
- metal shell
- "replaceable filters"
- MMCX

I love it, it is still my most favourite sub $100 CHIFI hybrid set. I sold all my KZ hybrids after I bought it. $60 is a good price for it, would have gotten it if I didn't already have one.
Quite good timbre for a hybrid, good soundstage and good technicals. Non fatiguing treble. Comfortable. Isolation is poor though. The note weight is thick and slow, so those that want a fast bass and fast transients might need to look elsewhere.

The tuning filters are gimicks though, they hardly change anything beyond the bass. I felt with the stock tuning filters, the midbass was overwhelming (not sure how the 2DD was implemented) and the bass really ate into the mids/treble. I'm a basshead and even I felt the bass was too prominent.
Add a cheap BGVP 3rd party filter, and this tames the midbass and makes the sound much more balanced. The mids and treble can breathe and the tuning becomes more "audiophile". With the 3rd party filter, I think it sounds very close to my Westone W30 (3 BA) in tuning and technicalities, but at 1/5 the price.

Just a bit too strange even for me.
