+1 for the bump for this thread. Just got mine in the mail. for 8.77$ this is surprisingly good. Gonna do a burn-in now. Wow on clear treble and bass.  Negative on the wire cloth but for $8.77. I love these If this is 90 % like EX600 I'm happy never heard the EX600 btw. thanks Dsnuts !!! great work!!! look forward to your recommendation in future

No these are not your top tier earphones. But they sound so amazing for their price it is inconceivable! Well done Dsnuts. These things really sing if you can get a good seal established and such. Happy listening.

Just trying them out now... I'll post a full review later, but first impressions:
They're a f*ing pain in the ass to get a good seal with.  I finally got one using the stock tips from my UE700's.  
They sound pretty awesome so far with only ~5 minutes listen..

...the cord is horrendous.  They're also really big, and will hurt my ears after awhile, for sure.  Sound quality is pretty solid though

i've received mine from some1 but i can't try them out till next week

 

[onefatsurfer]

they're impressive.  SQ wise, a steal for the price, no question about it.

Reshell into custom IEM = win? =P

Great idea, though large dynamic driver = chances are slim.

Okay, I will give this some serious thought.
 
After all, I feel apprehensive reshelling someones $$$ Radius, which has never been done, but a $7 IEM? I could just buy them myself and reshell en masse and handle the logistics of ear impressions and shipping.

yeah kiteki-sama , for the 8 $ it's good, it's not high end built but good performance/value. I might try and A/B with my other phones later.

These definitely don't sound as good or fit as comfortably as my UE700's.  They're just.. not as good.  I didn't expect them to be.  For what they are, a $7 IEM, I'm astonished at the sound quality.  If these things cost $35, I'd be pretty impressed.  I don't have much experience in the $30-80 IEM range, so I can't really compare them, but they easily sound better than any other <$20 IEM I've heard.

The lack of seal (or sense of it) is largely due to the large port at the base of the nozzle. I covered it with tape and then poked a small hole (with needle) in the tape to give it some air. Increased the bass response, of course, but I now get a sense of a seal. I was always getting a seal in terms of the tip fitting in my ear canal, but with it so open it seemed I wasn't getting a seal. Tape fixed that.

Way better than m9

Thats good news.
 
I just bought 2 pairs of the M9 since I thought I would love them so much.....eh.....something just doesn't sound right in the entire middle section of the spectrum.....to the point I don't even want to bother EQing too much since my Marshamallows sound better with NO EQing.
 
 
8320 is on back order until Jan 9th the last time I checked so I'll be snatching a pair......that remold sounds promising.
