I’m getting towards about 30-40 hours on these right now. They sound great. Like a lush, warm blanket. They’re very musical while being beefy and reasonably resolving. The soundstage is fantastic. Very deep.
I like the delicate, deep blue cable that the set comes with but I’ve since changed it to a Tripowin Zonie and swapped tips to Moondrop Spring Tips. At the moment listening to Apple Music lossless and I’m driving it out of my iPhone 13 wired to a BTR5. This makes for pretty good synergy. But the set jumps up a level when I drive it out of my R6 2020 using local FLAC files. They take on a somewhat more detailed mid/treble section and exhibit better note weight.
On the fit, they’re the style I prefer with a semi-custom shape that fits my ear well. They’re like a thicker version of the OH10 which is the best fitting IEM I currently own. The stems are relatively long but that actually helps the fit since the shells are so lightweight.
The only negative I have at the moment is that I get some driver flex when putting them in and taking them out if I’m not careful. It’s strange too since these are vented and shouldn’t be prone to flex. Not a huge deal for me, but worth a mention. The lack of substantial accessories is also kind of a letdown, but not an issue for me since I have spare cases and tips galore.
I got mine for $69USD shipped, which I consider to be an amazing deal for these, but when at their MSRP of $89 they remain a great value. I like single dynamic driver sets a lot and (assuming nothing changes much at the end of the run-in) this is one of the best I own.
