beausymJust got them ( a day early to boot), and for an IEM with 3 BAs, I'm a little conflicted on how to feel. The mids, and especially male vocals, sound pretty hollow. Instrumental separation isn't particularly great either. Everything has a very hollow or veiled sound to it, and playing with EQ can only sort of salvage voices in general. Not entirely sure what's going on there.
The only positive thing i can say right now is the isolation is the best out of any IEM I've ever had (a short list to be fair), but I've got 2 fans on high in my room and I can barely hear them even if I try. They're supremely comfortable to wear, as well, and are a good contender for being something I can sleep with in my ears. The MMCX connectors are tight without being difficult to remove, and each earbud has a nice weight to it. The cable that comes pre-installed also has a nice feeling to it as well
I'm going to give them a few days, maybe even try to burn them in, but I'm going to have to do quite a bit of EQ before i can use these over the FiiO F9s. I'm hoping something changes.
Edit: The bluetooth cable that comes with it is very nice too. I took another few hours and played around with the EQ and a few spare MMCX cables I have lying around, and I've got them to where I can hear the amount of sparkle I was desperately missing. Had some good results with the other cables, including a balanced cable from the F9s. Definitely glad I could salvage these. The Bluetooth cable is very convenient and easy to charge and pair, so I'm looking forward to using it in the future (probably all the time).
Edit: I'm 2 months in and after giving them more time, i can say they are actually very good. Once i realized i was missing the dynamic bass from my other iems, and stopped looking for it, they're good. I can definitely appreciate the detail. I don't I'd buy them again if something happened, though, as the $150-250 price point has been getting some fantastic additions recently.
