I have to say I was disappointed. I had no experience with IEMs and thought this might be a cheap way to find out how they differed from standard ear buds. I guess my expectations were too high, based on my own positive experience with hifiman and the buzz around IEMs. Frankly these were indistinguishable from standard cheap ear buds.
I listened to hi-def audio through a top quality player and tube headphone amp. The difference between these and good headphones was startling. I didn't expect them to be as good, but I thought they might at least be uncolored, even if the bass were missing. But these sounded tinny and nasal. Almost unlistenable.
