Amazing sound at a reasonable price!

They won't have many drivers, nor will they have balanced armature drivers. They are much simpler and stand out for the great quality they have both in sound and in construction in general. The feeling they generate is that you are in front of much more expensive headphones. Nearly flat signature sound with subtle treble boost. The big surprise is in the sound scene they offer and in the warmth of the sound! There is also highlight the quality of the headphones and their accessories in general. Español: No tendrán muchos drivers, ni tampoco drivers con armadura balanceada. Son mucho más simples y se destacan por la gran calidad que tienen tanto en sonido como en construcción en general. La sensación que generan es que estás delante de unos auriculares muchos más costosos. Sonido con una firma casi plana, con un sutil realce en agudos. La gran sorpresa es en la escena sonora que ofrecen y en la calidez del sonido!. También hay destaco la calidad de los auriculares y en sus accesorios en general.

Very detailed and balanced

Once I found the right tips (Spinfit CP100 for my ears), these have spent a lot time in my ears! I have smaller ears, but the housings are small enough to lay flat comfortably. I can literally keep them in for hours. They isolate very well, on the order with most sealed BA IEMs. With their metal housings, these are the most solid headphone I've ever owned. Their sound is expressive, detailed and supremely balanced. They will not wow you with extraordinary bass or soaring treble, but you will be wowed with how natural and revealing of fine textures they are. They will play about any material, but I think they really shine with vocal and acoustic music. The bass is very exacting and tonal, and it never bleeds or overshadows the rest of the music. Bassheads look elsewhere... The midrange is fantastic, very textured in both tone and space. It is easy to follow instruments within the mix. The treble is extended, not over-bearing. It can be, however, occasionally sibilant, but it is so rare that it makes me wonder if that's just poor recording or natural sibilance. They are not hugely macrodynamic, but their microdynamics are amazing. This really helps to bring out every nuance with vocals. I use these with a bluetooth adaptor, probably not the absolute best way to use them. However, the adaptor is as good as any I've heard (better), and it powers them amply. These headphones will play louder than I care to listen. But, my phone has no headphone jack, and the 3.5 output on my Surface sounds terrible. Used with this adaptor, I can use the P1's with computer and phone at the same time. Obviously, I use them a lot. These have now replaced my old Shure SE425's as my go-to IEM! One small edit... I have now switched to Symbio W tips. Wow. The impact and depth of bass greatly increased, still with accurate speed and decay. This has further balanced the sound, because the Symbios don't suck the life out of the upper midrange and treble like foam can. The isolation is way better, too. I love watching people's lips move and hearing nothing but music. These could be an endgame combo for a lot of music lovers.

Great sounding in ear phones

I was looking for an audiophile quality in ear phones to use in places where my open backed HD6XX was less convenient and came across these. Decided to purchase based on the generally great reviews. Very happy with my purchase - especially when I found a great deal at Drop! Well balanced sound with sufficient bass presence for the types of music I listen to - Jazz and Classical. Great clarity and is sufficiently driven via my Ifi Zen Dac. It is true that these need some amplification to get the volume you really need. I had some issue that developed with the phones and credit to Drop when I raised a warranty claim, they sorted things out quickly. I have been very impressed with my dealings with Drop so far. Thanks!

Great so far.

I got this to use with a USB TV adaptor using a bluetooth. The devise did not work so far so I've used it with my tablet. For that I is really nice. The biggest thing I have note is the the tips work really well. They block noise was and don't hurt my ears.. I have some really good (and costly) earbuds so I'm really looking for for audio. I was surprised it also has a 2.5mm cable. I have one that cost over 600 dollars that forced me to buy a balanced cable. I will update when I use them with my cord mojo.

Impressive

The sound is balanced and detailed. Build quality is superb, even better than many of more expensive choices. Paired with the balanced cable and this is really impressive. I don't know why but I really love the sound signature of this IEM.

Looks good and sounds good..

It's clear that this model is a product of love ). The packaging is traditionally two-layer, a thick black cardboard box housed in a "super cover" of plain cardboard. All modern polygraphic technologies such as embossing, relief printing, the combination of glossy and matt surfaces were used in decorating this external cover. Everything looks very neat and appropriate. On the back, there are the traditional technical specifications in different languages, and on the front a photo of the headphones. On one of the side edges, there is a unique serial number assigned to each model. The sound of the P1 has also clearly been worked on. Inside the body, in addition to the radiator, there is a special resonator for the tweeters, allowing them to play with more energy. Because of this, by the way, the sound of P1 is unusual and unlike anything else. The headphones are light, with a very detailed delivery. Like many high-end models, Pinnacle is very demanding on the source, the fit, and the selection of earpieces. The COMPLY foams, for example, slightly hide the HF, while the multi-flange attachments add bass, albeit at the cost of a slight deterioration in detail. After a series of experiments, I settled on the large single-flange nozzles, as the best show the positive features of the P1. Bass is fast and very detailed. The main emphasis in bass delivery is on the midrange area. Deep bass is present, but sometimes it is a bit lacking in quantity. That is, when you need it, it marks its presence rather clearly, but not completely confidently. I suspect that it was in the plans of the developers, as the headphones are clearly designed for serious genres, which do not imply the dominance of the sub-bass, and the overemphasis on the deep bass could prevent the "middle" from revealing. As for the midrange, it's not hard to praise them this time. Certainly, they are very good, detailed, emotional, and so on and so forth. But here the P1 took it one step further and managed to surprise. The fact is that these headphones build for me the most incredible imaginable scene: wide, deep, with excellent instrument separation and three-dimensional positioning. I don't know how they do it. MEE Audio's flagship is particularly good with genres that benefit from resolution and surround-chamber music, vocals, instrumental styles, and so on. Especially vocals, to my ears, are just incredibly good. The high frequencies are the part that will cause a great deal of controversy around the P1. The headphones have been tweaked to deliver high frequencies with excellent resolution and energy. Having said that, they don't overdo the amount, coming off harsh, for my taste, and yes the sibilance area has been taken under control, but the amount of information in the HF range being played off by this model is truly staggering. I strongly suspect that this is what accounts for the characteristics of the imagined scene I wrote about above. Recordings with an abundance of percussion sometimes reveal themselves in unexpected ways and sound in new ways. In fact, certain disadvantages, or should I say peculiarities, also come from here. Firstly, P1 is definitely not the headphones for HF-phobias, their high frequencies are not crushed, and so they will not suit those who avoid this range at all costs. Secondly, these headphones are incredibly critical of source and recording quality, old albums with poorly matched treble will sound very poor, and players that do not have good control over the range will have a metallic "squeal". In general, great headphones need the right components. The headphones are unusual and very stylish. In general, I won't recommend these headphones to everyone, but if you listen to serious music and have a suitable source - I advise you to pay attention to Pinnacle P1.

I recommend using an amp with these iem's!

To get the best possible sound quality from these earphones, you'll need a balanced cable and an amp for these. Although a phone will drive these earphones. You'll be getting a underpowered and a muddy version of a decent iem (in-ear monitor). 50 ohms isn't a lot when talking about headphones but for earphones it is. Most item's that I have tested range anywhere from 9.6 ohm - 32 ohm, usually. So I used a Fiio BTR5 and a Qudilex 5K Bluetooth dac/amp for testing. Along with a Linsoul balanced 2.5mm cable. These are a natural and pretty neutral sounding earphone. For a single dynamic driver, the replay is very smooth and detailed. Not fatiguing to listen to and no harsh siblance issues.

Very nice earbuds. Main complaint is the cable can be finicky (my silver one is anyways) but the sound quality is much better so I tolerate it. They're a bit heavy so not sure if I'd want to watch them drop during exercise (no pun intended); over ear configuration is fairly stable though. Haven't owned too many in-ear but the vocals seem very crisp/clear so far haven't tried for deep bass usually prefer my bass on a subwoofer anyways.
