This is my first foray into balanced armature driven iems and for the most part I am not disappointed. They are very flat sounding so be prepared for that. I'll start with what I do like about them. Pros: Many accessories and a nice carrying pouch. Good looking especially in ear Stays in place with minimal cable noise Excellent at passive noise isolation Flat natural smooth sound Very comfortable Iems feel well built and like they could stand up to some abuse Have stood up wonderfully to about 2 years of use Cons: My left ear has a problem where after a few minutes the back part of my inner ear where the rear end of the bud sits starts hurting and becomes distracting to where I have to take out the bud for a bit. (Fixed this by using a smaller tip) The hifi cable feels like it could be easily broken with the other one feeling slightly better but still thin Very neutral sounding which may not be everybody's cup of tea Subbass is lacking but is very smooth on songs that have already overly boosted bass. Overall these are excellent and what I ended up liking them for the most surprised me. I love love love these for gaming. I've never been so aware of exactly where enemies were in csgo by just their noise. My hd 598's and 58x are great but nowhere near this and my clouds pale in comparison. If you can find a way to have them not hurt the back part of the inside of your ear where the bud rests then I can recommend these. Also if you plan to use these for edm you may be disappointed by the lack of subbass but after a burn in period the sound becomes silky smooth. Their great isolation gives me high hopes that on my flight they will do a decent job of blocking out the plane noise though their slight peak in the treble also worries me but it's nothing an eq can't fix. So if these were tuned warmer with slightly more bass (as I'm sure the massdrop plus iems are) and the comfort issue on my left ear were more to my style I'd have no reservations recommending these to anyone. I still will recommend them to 99 percent of people but just know what you're getting into. EDIT: Since burn in these have smoothed out a lot. Highs are no longer shrill at all and have become very smooth with good extension. Bass notes are not noticeably more present but subbass seems to be a smoother extension of midbass now and it sounds silky. Definitely a solid recommendation from me.
