i just picked up a pair of these ie headphones last month , been using my beyerdynamic MMX 101 iE for about a year now , i found that after the burn in they are pretty close to what i am used to and was truly surprised to say the least , that being said it's hard to compare for many obvious reasons , all in all for the 15 $ i paid i found that i can now put my old phones away for awhile and still enjoy great sound , do be cautious though there are a lot of cheap imitations of these Xiaomi Hybrids i found that a lot of the fakes are missing the HD audio label on the side of the metal ear base, and paper over package is missing !
sound quality ,bass
The Hybrid’s dynamic driver comes off very well with an impactful low-end close to what i've been used to but with control of the beats audio on the handset that i've been using it would be considered more than ample and clear allowing you to hear it's great sub-bass extension Its strength also contributes to the Hybrid’s warm midrange, giving lower octaves a heavier, more response.I found the Hybrid’s bass to be sufficient without resorting to base boost but with it it is outstanding it is very close to what i've been using clear crisp, impressive
mids ,
What can i really say other than it really shined through with more than what i had expected. But to be honest, it was awhile before burn in until they started to sound great For me, I mean, sure, they don’t sound particularly bad at first but you do need to give them a bit of time to sound just right .
treble,
pretty much the same thing , just a little time and they were sounding just about right although not as good as expected but at the same time it takes time and lets keep in mind $20
summary,
Overall the Xiaomi Hybrid is impressive to me sound-wise. and build quality also found that they compare to some of the higher class phones
all i can say is for the price you are getting a lot of quality and sound !!
Ok so i just have to add this
so i was doing my laundry about three weeks ago and after emptying the washer to my surprise there are my headphones at the bottom of the washing tub so my first thoughts were oh well i guess i'll have to pick up another pair but first i tried the old bag of rice trick and after a week in the bag with the rice the ear phones work as well or maybe better i'm knot sure than before , but anyway i really didn't expect them to work again , and the mic and all the functions work fine as well so all in all as long as there is no power load on them during wet or drying out process they will work fine !!
