I've had the privilege to try this IEM at a local audio shop and I can say yes, they are great for the price. Its a well balanced IEM but lacks real clarity and micro details. Isolation is pretty decent and is very comfortable to wear.

Unicrogrillamo"lacks real clarity"
Would you say listening to live streams and podcasts would be reasonable? I'm using se215s right now and I like the negative profile and would love to have a cheaper pair to leave at work.
Also, is anyone else thinking it would be really dope if 1 side had white casing with the other black?

penguinairlinesSo sorry if I caused some confusion. I meant it "lacks real clarity" when compared to what a 200USD IEM would sound like (in reference to @boot2skull's comment on the review he found about the S2000) . The S2000 would be perfectly fine for podcast and live streams. If wanting a cheap pair to leave at work is your deciding factor, then yes, I would say go for it. For the price, it is miles better than something like the Audio technica CK330iS or even the Xiaomi In-Ear Headphones PRO HD in terms of SQ (especially in bass response and brightness) in which both of these earphones are in the sub 50 price range. Nonetheless, the ADV S2000 is great for its price point.

UnicrogrillamoDid you listen to them with the included tips? I couldn't get good isolation with any of them, but I did get a fairly good seal with some JVC Spiral Dot tips, and another pair of larger tips. I think that's about the worst I can say about them. For some reason, I've bought three pairs of touted and inexpensive earphones over the past few weeks, and these gave the best initial impression of the three. For one thing, I listened to them for a little over an hour, and didn't wince once. That's saying something. I haven't taken them out to compare, but I think they may sound at least as good as the Brainwavz B100s, and probably better than the $150 MSRP Kef M100s I'm glad I only paid $30 for.

DarrylGHey there, I believe I tried them with acoustune tips, which vaguely reminds me of the feel of Audio Technica tips. Similarly I had not done a side by side comparisons with the other sub 50 IEMs, but from the top of my head, the SQ is the best I've heard so far for the under 50 price cat...
