Wow this shitty brand start to copy others. http://acoustune.com/ What a shame that western countries enjoy blaming China for intellectual property issues, while people from these countries are doing the same. There are even someone praising it below the discussion. Thumb up for you guys.

JayrockMy point is doing it right before you wanna judge others. When western countries criticize Chinese OEM factories for making clones and fakes, the brands from these countries should not do it. Double standard is always awful. The boss of this brand stole thousands dollars with Trinity Audio's DAP funding program and never delivered its products. Now IMR is using those money to make more from new victims. No matter how the sound is, the truth of the bad reputation can not be changed. For instance, KZ IEMs are hated by some people no matter how they improve. The fact that they copied the look of CFA Andromeda will never change.

ZhiyaoYoungAnd the massive success of the R1 funded the Zenith. Both are fantastic products and loved my most who are intelligent enough to base an opinion on a product, not a Headfi thread. KZ get a lot of love by many in the budget audio sector. I've not heard to much critism for the price to performance.

JayrockWhat you said is true as well. I agree with the sound part. But I guess you'd like to ignore the intellectual property issues of stealing others' design. Then we are fine.

ZhiyaoYoungEverything ultimately inspires something else and the general way the Zenith works seperate it enough for me. It alters the sound stage having it open and increases bass with it closed.

JayrockIf you can call this "inspire", then Acoustune should say Thanks to you.

ZhiyaoYoungLook at the Toyota Camry and the Nissan Altima. Very similar appearance. Bad brands for "copying" each other?

jsmiller58Those cars are not even more than 60% similar to me. But this one? over 85% similarity with Acoustune 1670ss.

ZhiyaoYoungOther than the front grill, those two vehicles on the surface are very similar, so I would put the ratio much higher than 60%... But you missed the point completely... who cares about the appearance? If you want to poke at IEM appearance, then look at Shure and a Westone IEM models... but again, who cares? The appearance is completely surface deep... tell me about driver configuration? Tell me about tuning, filters, etc? Tell me about frequency response? Tell me about how they sound, how they pair with different sources, etc? If the similarity stops at appearance, well, I don’t think there is much to object to. I completely accept that you have a different opinion than I do; we are both entitled to our differing opinions. To me the appearance matters the least, the sound the most. To you the appearance matters much more than it does to me. I am just surprised that you took the similar appearance and then commented “this s****y brand”. Even if you don’t like that the Zenith clearly looks the same it seems a big leap to condemn the brand... obviously you are entitled to your own opinion, but I wonder if there is more to it than just objecting to appearance... Given your posting link to the Head-fi thread on theTrinity fiasco, I wonder if you or a friend wound up being impacted? That would color your opinion... FWIW, visit Silicon Valley sometime. It has many successful entrepreneurs who made it big... after failing on their first, second, third, etc startup. Saying someone failed and they don’t get another chance is pretty clearly not the way the world works, thankfully. I have the Zenith and think that they are a fine sounding IEM. That’s what matters to me. Have you heard the Zenith before condemning IMR, or just hold against it the appearance or the Trinity history?

jsmiller58Alright, you are right. Nobody cares and I don't care how you wanna spend your money. And yes, I'm just simply against this brand because of its owner's irresponsibility in the past and would never buy from an untrustworthy company no matter how's the quality of the products. But sure, you can have your opinion and I totally respect that. Good luck and enjoy the music.

ZhiyaoYoungThank you for pointing out that these rip off the design of Acoustune's. I was going to, but thought I'd read the comment section first. I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized their unique design. Acoustune's quality build is fantastic and it's a shame that their signature style is now associated with this product. Regarding the comments of the IMR's knockoff not fitting well, the Acoustune design fits really well and seals nicely. Decent isolation, but they're very comfortable and great for long sessions.
