The last post on these are a year old and some of them are negative in terms of quality. Can anyone shoot an update on their thoughts to this day. Are these worth the buy? What alternatives are there? Are there any still doing battle with some of the previous buyers?

kiddEDIT: **I completely spaced and thought these were the follow-up model, the KC06A but then took another look at the description and pictures and thought, hmm..these don't seem quite right and then realized my mistake!

I still have the original pair I got from a drop 2-3 years back or so (maybe a bit longer even) and mine have held up super well! They're literally in brand new shape still after this much time spread across maybe 400-500 hours give or take. I've almost exclusively paired them with Samsung Galaxy phones and iPhones over time and they're rather efficient iems and sound just a touch warmer than neutral with a nice tight and controlled mid to-low-bass and a pretty nice sub-bass presence. I believe I paid around $60 out the door and felt like I'd gotten the deal of a lifetime then..I'd JUMP on these for $40 and would pick up another set if I trusted the build quality less than I do but I've had literally zero issues with mine so far. That said...I take great care of my belongings to an almost obsessive level and I always wrap them up nicely and store them in a nice hard clamshell case when not in use, and am always gentle when handling them and listening with them so YMMV. I will say that looking at the build quality, tho they use nice materials IMO, doesn't necessarily seem the most resilient of materials were you to stuff these unwound in a pocket all day, or dropped frequetly..but as I've come to learn with most things in life..take care of them, and they'll take care of you!

kiddI've also tried and hung onto many of its close competitors in their price range as well, and while theres others I enjoy and appreciate, these are still some of my favorite 'giant killers' if you'd so indulge 🙄😂

ChumbWumbaThank you for your insight, I jumped into the TFZ King Pro drop that ended yesterday, which I'll use in the office. If the A model ever pops up here I'll consider them for everyday use.
