Why do they look like $5 headphones with $25 of accessories?

TomestoAgreed. As nice as it is to see a pair of high fidelity earbuds still being produced, at this price they really need to ditch the cheap plastic housings and do something about the aesthetics. Some matte lacquered SS would be perfect.
These look almost identical to the $30 Yuin PKs.

bfitzNot bad. Metal housing, graphene drivers, 8 core silver braided detachable MMCX cable, and are only $95. 400ohms though... yikes.
Edit: Thx for pointing these out. Just bit the bullet and ordered them. Couldn't resist the curiosity.

Kadosyeah, def need a DAP or amp to get the most out of them.
They are pretty sensitive and sound fine from wife's pixel, but not like they do properly driven. On the warmer side of neutral with a very open sound, good imaging. I use thin full foams with them and really enjoy them. I want to try with donuts but can't for the life of me get them on without tearing them to pieces. lol

KadosI would love to hear how they sound. I have the Blue Ever Blue 328R “Black” (Massdrop purchased) Driver: 13.6mm Dynamic Frequency Response: 25Hz - 20kHz Sensitivity: 104+/-4db Impedance: 16 ohm Housing Material: plastic Cable Length: 120cm MSRP: US$25 https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Ever-328R-HDSS-earphone/dp/B0053Y5SXW and Mrice E100 earbuds to compare to. I use Yurbuds medium size earpiece rubbers from throwaway $5 pairs to keep both these earbuds in place for exercising and it helps the sound get deeper in ear. Anybody have a comparison to these?
I found the Blue Ever Blue 328R Blacks have a clear sound but bass lacks and E100 has bass and some mids but not enough treble accuracy.

airjamesHaving trouble finding reviews, but from what i could find it seems they have a relatively neutral sound sig with a slight controlled bump in the low end.

bfitzI have these and they seem to have a peak somewhere in the upper mids. They are a bit hard to listen to. And even though they are 400 ohm, they seem to be quite sensitive. I cannot turn up most of my amps past 8:00-9:00 before it gets too loud. And I can hear the hiss on some amps. (In reference to the Toneking TO400s)

I do love the build. They definitely feel a lot more quality than most of my earbuds. I have been playing with the parametric eq in USB Audio Player Pro to try and enjoy these more. For most song I don't have a problem but some just seem to hit a note that hurts on these. It is slightly better with foam pads over them. (In reference to the Toneking TO400s)

airjamesAgreed on the Blue Ever. Bass is severely lacking. I end up sticking with the VE Monk+ for my "go to" earbuds.
