I am a professional audiophile who has tried about 30 IEM/Chifi headphones in the last few months. If you don't need cool headphones, grab the CCA C10 instead - they're half price on aliexpress too. If you're not a music lover, you can also try ZSN (non-professionals) - they're cheap and fun, but quickly fall apart on closer inspection. It's hard to rate this new wave of headphones. On the one hand, they significantly improve the performance and clarity potential at low and high frequencies compared to previous headphone designs. On the other hand, balance and mood often suffer greatly. They offer a lot more bass or clarity than regular drivers, but they often don't sound any better. MASSIVE TREBLE BOOST is quite annoying at first, but it can also be addictive. However, the bass is a muddle, the mids are well presented but not overly flat, and the highs are so dominant it really depends on what you're listening to. The high-end quality of these headphones made them the only "Chifi" headphones to match the quality of the pro brand's IEM, but only in that area. They were scattered throughout critical listening and generally not very useful. Ok packaging, complex boxes quickly become a nuisance when they usually send you a fancy box but don't come with a simple case. I love the foam tips they come with and they come in two sizes - they have a similar texture to the Complys and they also come with a wide range of silicone tips. L, and while I can guess what their color codes probably mean, the design doesn't exactly say it. I actually abused the T2 for a while (which greatly improved bass response) before finding out. Online images are usually mirrored for some reason (it's impossible to connect them as shown), so make sure they're done right. When you absolutely need the highest frequencies possible, they're hard to beat. The Mackie MP 240s would also be a good option, although they have a deepened (but still present) midrange and a much more pronounced low end. However, for $200 it is difficult to recommend them as they are poor for critical use and need a boost over the mid-range (85-90dB) to get good mids, after which the highs and lows become overwhelming be able.
