I want to love these, because I'm really impressed with the underlying sound. However, I've got some serious background hiss/white noise regardless of source (and I've high end cans to compare them to, so I know it's not garbage-in-garbage-out). Seems to be consistent, regardless of volume, and only when audio is actually playing, not when they're inserted. I think that last bit rules out feedback from anything, so I'm left assuming the IEM's are the problem. Suggestions?
Just a word of caution for those that have ordered these and still awaiting arrival. I got mine yesterday and discovered that the 2 pin connectors are in no way marked to designate the orientation/polarity to insert them in the earphones. Each connector is labeled R and L however there is no polarity markings and because there are no molded ear hooks to define the orientation it is a crap shoot. If you insert the connector with reversed polarity you will notice the sound is thinner with less bass extension. I got the right correct and the left reversed the first time I connected them. I could tell something was off so I reversed the left connector and it sounded much better. Otherwise my initial impressions are positive. I already have the King Pros and I was expecting these to sound quite similar with maybe a little less bass and that's how I perceive them. Aside from the lack of molded ear hooks the cable is very nice. I like the appearance of the metal housings with the gold logo plates. Very distinctive design. I'm sure I will hang on to these.
CyberthingyYeah, this caught me off guard. Key to getting it right is to orient them for your ears before plugging the wires in. Remember that the cables are routed to go over your ears.
Thanks, but my concern is more on comfort. I have 1more triple, while it's ok, the diameter is bigger than usual and it's not comfortable after some time. But thanks, at least I have an idea about it
ConsI gotcha. The nozzle diameter on these are pretty common to many other IEM models but I’m not familiar with the 1more Triples so not sure how they would compare. The depth and angle of the nozzle could also affect comfort as I have discovered.
Tried these in a headphones store and I was fairly surprised at the soundstage that these put out. It’s good for an IEM. A lot of bass, but it can sound a bit bloated as it’s not fast enough. Overall sound is clear. I’d buy these if I wasn’t searching for a pair of truly wireless earbuds.

"The King Pro and DMG go punch for punch. The DMG has a touch more treble energy with less forward mids. The DMG's bass is more engaging with a punchier presentation, however, the King Pro has better balance and extension which really shows itself on EDM tracks. The DMG can't touch it's awesome sub-bass. Detail and clarity goes to the DMG, but overall coherence is in the King's court. When it comes to staging qualities, the King Pro sounds larger and has more accurate imaging, but it lacks the same sense of depth and layering you get with the DMG. I feel they they perform on an equal level, though I prefer the DMG for the extra treble energy. The King Pro is excellent, but a touch too polite for my tastes.
They goo head-to-head in terms of build too. The King's aluminum shells are just as well constructed, though the gap under the faceplate, which is purposeful and hides the King's vents, takes away from the design's cohesion. Not an issue on the DMG. Comfort is good on the King, but it doesn't conform to the ear as naturally as the DMG. Isolation is also not as good letting in more outside noise. TFZ's cable is fantastic, but falls a step behind the DMG's. It's not quite as flexible for one, but the real kicker is the weight of the steel y-split which makes it's presence known at all times. It tugs and pulls, and will probably shorten the life of the cable."
siliwayI have the King Pro and the BGVP DMG. The King Pro has better sub-bass rumble, and a controlled mid-bass. The DMG suffers from a generally bloated bass that dominates the sound signature, not to my liking. I prefer the King Pro, but others may prefer the emphasized bass of the DMG. Both are very well made and comfortable, and the DMG has a particularly nice cable. Not sure how they compare to the King II or Ltd, and I've managed to resist the impulse (so far!) to buy either.
