willrickettsOuch, how come? It's entirely the opposite of what I hear with them. Are you sure your pair is not defective as this is not what the majority of the reviewers hear. Which IEMs are you comparing these to? Driven with what source? I have no complaints and only praise for them driven from iBasso DX50 or Fiio X3, comparing them to the Hifiman RE-400, Shure SE215 and Sennheiser CX880...
koolpepx2. Agreed. I think they're the best I've heard in the sub $100 bracket, even compared to the venerable SE215 in that category. Been impressed with the hyrbid so much so, that I splurged for the Dunu DN1000.
The only thing that these may lack for some people is bass impact (slam). If that's the case, get the Wooduo2 here. Gobs of bass without distorting.
The sound is murky and undefined. If anyone truly wants a pair, I'll gladly sell them mine for $30.
