I was shopping for a new portable DAC/AMP and came across this little interesting IEM with a built-in DAC that plugs into the micro usb port of android phones with OTG audio out capabilities. Granted it probably won't perform like a USB DAC/amp combo on a phone but the size seems like it could potentially justify some of the hit to SQ. Solely for portability, getting rid of the distortion at higher levels normally found via the headphone jack seems like a big selling point. I can't seem to find any specs on the internals, but am curious enough to pick one up for the $44 price tag. The price tag scares me though... when's the last time you heard $50 IEMs put out good SQ? Wouldn't it be cool to see some nice drivers on something like this??? sigh...
 
Love to see someone who actually knows something about audio to review one of these.
