Status Audio Dual-Driver Micro Buds

Got mine yesterday. Fit and finish is nice. Silicone tips weren't bad but went to foam tips after a brief test with the originals. They have an odd sound for in ears. Not the usual presence you get from earphones, and not the spacious sound you get from speakers. It's odd. Flat eq, it does late 50s early 60s rock well and it's pretty good at big band. Acoustic guitar recorded off a piezo bridge sounds awful. Piano gets pushed a bit towards harpsichord. Took a while to find a good eq curve for them, and they are capable of a fuller sound. Sub $40 they are OK. V shaped response. Perhaps a bit too much scooped out of the low mids. Bright but constrained highs and upper mids. Verges on twangy with some music. Really good for spoken word clear but not sibilant.

Received mine yesterday. Definitely V shaped sound signature, with decent bass. The highs are bright but I haven't experienced sibilance yet. They seem fun to listen to. Otherwise, they are comfortable, the remote works well and the cable is excellent. That cable is short and doesn't tangle and is just easy to deal with. The traveling pouch is also neat. Nothing here is fancy or groundbreaking, but it just all feels well thought out.

I took the plunge and ordered these. They were estimated to ship on Nov 6. It's Nov 12 and nothing to date. Wonder where they are???
