Like most people here, I ordered these solely because I wanted to see how good a $16 pair of triple driver IEMs could be. After a couple hours of burn in with white noise a mid-low volume, these actually sound pretty good for certain things. Electronic music, rock, and a few other genres sound great, much better than the price tag would let on. Mostly lyrical sound (rap, movies, podcasts) sound odd because of the pronounced bass, kind of like theres added reverb even though thats not quite it. Overall for 16 bucks its hard to complain.

Bass is good. Nothing else really is. Some will love it. Some will be like, meh. Most won't like it. Plenty of other better options for not much more.

Recently ordered the GK3, purely out of interest how a 3 driver budget IEM could sound like. So I joined the drop, just got my "Geek Wold GK3" today and tried it out immediately. My source was my good ol X5II which is generally a great DAP for all kinds of IEMs.
Unboxing is uneventful, despite a strong whiff of plastic odour. Cable looks cheap and probably is. The shell of the IEMs is OK, nozzle is quite wide but i manage to get them into my averaged size ear canals (unlike the horrible KZ ZS10s I recently bought here on which are probably made for people who use screwdrivers to remove earwax)
What I could hear during the first snippets of sample tracks was a massive bass which extends quite far into the lower frequency regions. Unfortunately the bass is so intense that it drowns out a good portion of the midrange. Everything else (upper mids and highs) is about to sound like when people call on the phone in the movies: dim, drowned out and far from defined and clear. Some of the lyrics sounded like undiscovered language (OK thats a bit exaggerated but on some tracks things became really blurred). If you don't care about this and love pounding bass only then this is for you. But you will miss a substantial proportion of the music.
Again, as you can see from other feedback I would like to warn buyers from joining the multidriver craze. More drivers does not mean necessary betters sound. Splitting up the audible frequency band and allocating it to drivers that are dedicated to a specific section makes sense but only if the developer does that homework on electronics and acoustics. Just tossing drivers into a bloated shell and call it audiophile will win no fans. As a comparison (and positive example) I have a LEAR LCM A1D which feature a single dynamic driver. The LEAR LCM A1D outperforms the GK3 substantially with this one driver and I don't think this is only because it is a custom IEM shell.
To sum up, invest in a decent pair of IEMs and give "Geek Wold" some time to improve their product. And the correct spelling of their English brand name.

cyph3rWell put. You said everything I would've if I bothered to take the time to do so. It's impressive one could put as much material into this package for the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

derbagger22thanks bagger, schöner username by the way. well to be honest one reason I am bit critical towards IEMs since I am developing my own range on IEMs (http://executive.audio) of the first model is currently launched for sale (let me know if you are interested -> info@executive.audio )
When developing audio products the developer has to design with the customer in mind. Regarding proper sound, even if you cant afford expensive testing gear, developers can use their ears to test their products. Trained brains and good ears are usually sensitive enough to discern small differences in sound quality. Another important factor is to source proper materials.

Just ok
They are pretty decent, but they sound a bit muffled IMO

Warm sounding, slightly rolled of treble. Pleasant sound quality. I am impressed for the price. Sound stage is on the smaller side. It does have an overall nice tonality - I would say, for this price, they are a solid headphone. Give your ears and brain some time to acclimatize to their sound signature and you should be able to enjoy them quite a bit.
