Linsoul QKZ x HBB 10mm Titanium-Coated Diaphragm HiFi in-Ear Monitor Earphones with Semi-Open Cavity, Detachable Recessed 2Pin Silver-Plated Cable, Noise Canceling for Audiophile(with Mic)

The removable chord could be better comfort wise, but given that the IEMs are so high quality for 40$ I really can’t complain. The stock eartips are fully functional but aftermarket foam ones seem to do better for most needs. The ear nozzles are rather wide so if you have small ears you may want to look into getting foam tips simply for comfort. Sound wise, you don’t need an amp at all, although I have heard they can benefit from them. The tuning of the IEM is absolutely wonderful and tuned at a slightly more bass than treble Harmon. They are extremely clear and fun for any set under 100$ and compare favorably to my 190$ Moondrop Kato for clarity. In some tunings you might find something about an IEM tiresome, but not these and not for me. I wouldn’t call their sound to be “warm” necessarily but I would say that my 20$Salnotes Zero do make some tracks more exciting, but at the cost of them being tiresome with treble, in particular cymbals. Not so with these. I’d say it would be a good budget blind but for any HIFI fan and also comfortable enough in their tuning and price to just blind buy as a gift for some friend that might appreciate them.

I bought it for fun and use at the gym and throw it away. Surprisingly good built quality. Fits great, comfortable and comes with cheap light cord that never draws attention to itself. But the music sound like somebody put a huge blanket over the unit. It's stock tuning is very flat and balanced, but very veil and not much details or separations. Also has too much boomy mid bass dialed in, but you can also hear big deep bass somewhere waiting to be released. Spent a few hours with an equalizer and tuned the heck out of it using my awesome AKG N5005 as a reference and now this cheap $20 unit sounds better than IEM costing $500 or more. Tons of huge thundering sub base that never bleeds into the mids, smooth vocals and soso highs because I didn't have access to a good equalizer. Try as I did, but couldnt get instrument separations to match the Akg or my Ananda headphone, but with the huge clean sub bass adding more dimensions to music, the extra spaciousness is not missed. It sounds amazing now, very satisfying to listen to for hours. This unit maybe cheap, but it came with all the right internals to be a really great IEM built in. It's true potential is just waiting to be brought out. Its like Dr. Banner changing to the Hulk. However, to enjoy this awesome sound, you have to play all your music while under equalization. If you just plug it into any device without equalizer or any ap like Spotify and others that don't have a good equalizer. This unit will fall flat and sound like the $20 pos it was tuned from the factory and you won't like it. If you want something that sound much better than these right of the box and spend less without resorting to equalization. Get the AKG iem that came free on samsung phones from a few years ago. Amazon and eBay has them for only $12. Make sure they're the genuine units and not the knock offs.

I've bought these twice. The sound is great, but the build quality is not. The female connectors on the iems break off after some wearings. I was going to buy a third pair because they are so cheap but I don't feel like buying these over and over because of bad build quality. If it wasnt for the build quality, i wouldve gave it 5 stars. but since its so cheap, its a no brainer buy.

I've got experience with a variety of budget IEMs and entry-level audiophile headphones, but my rating is based on using these purely for gaming. If you're looking for a great pair of IEMs that will deliver accurate audio where it matters (FPS games especially), you'd be hard-pressed to find much better in this price bracket, or even several times more expensive. The bass is present enough to be enjoyable but doesn't drown out important details. Mids and highs are very smooth. I don't find these to cause any sort of ear fatigue, even playing games with them in for hours. These excel at being able to pick up audio cues accurately, both in terms of direction and distance from you. I have a pair of SHP-9500s that I use for gaming, and for these being a single driver IEM, they manage to deliver a similar experience in terms of details, with a soundstage that is only slightly narrower, while being more enjoyable to game with because the frequency curve is free of shrill highs. Super impressive considering these are a budget pair of IEMs. My only complaint is that the earbud tips that come with it aren't super comfortable, but I'm not going to knock a star off for that when it's just my personal preference.

their sound has a similar shape to the Tripowin MELE, so they sound excellent!!! However, the cable is of very poor quality. In my case, I changed to different cables, since the cable that comes with the microphone sounds muted, very dim, and the other side sounds excellent, so I changed it. from the side and the problem occurred in the earphone with the cable where the microphone was... I recommend buying it without this accessory... I hope the seller provides me with better quality cables...

I have a different pair of IEMs that is my favorite but wanted to try some others just in case. In a few situations where I couldn't use my favorites, I have tested 3-4 different IEMs and these have been my favorite substitute overall. Sound - Heavier bass than others, although still not quite enough for my taste but that's more of a fault of IEMs as a whole than these. The sound is smooth and good quality. Comfort - The part that goes into the ear is a bit long for my taste. It's not that big of a deal for me because I only wear IEMs while playing drums for ~20 minute periods, but longer term listening could be uncomfortable. Luckily if you have a cable that wraps around your ear, they shouldn't fall out.

Bought this once, and the right earbud went out. Returned it to get a replacement pair and now that pair's right earbud has gone out. The earbuds are great in terms of fit because the earbuds stay in and the ear hook makes them snug, audio clarity is great and cord length is pretty good but having the same earbud go out twice is not a coincidence. In my opinion. Really disappointed too because for the price everything is great about them but they just aren't reliable.

These sound awesome, 12/10 I highly recommend these. I just got into the IEM world after being in the car audio world for a decade. The only buds I have that I love equally are my Galaxy Buds Pro with a Samsung phone for the higher quality Bluetooth codec Samsung Scalable Codec. I think these IEMs have better audio quality than my buds but it's really hard to beat the convenience of totally wireless Bluetooth with active noise cancelation and transparent modes. Even with the convenience my buds offer, I still love these IEMs just as much. They have the warmer tune bass I crave and overall sound fantastic. I will say they sound significantly better with a Qudelix 5K DAC AMP vs the USB C to 3.5mm 32bit 384K adapter I have. Part of that is my adapter doesn't provide much power so the Q 5K blows my adapter out of the water in terms of bass since bass requires more power. Even without adjusting the EQ curve I'm blown away. With the Q 5K there's a profile for these IEMs to level out the curve but I think they sound great as is. The one thing that needs changed is the cable. I got a linsoul 2.5mm balanced recessed 2 pin purple cable that is much higher quality. Cables won't make much difference in audio quality, but it certainly feels much nicer, plus going with a balanced 2.5mm cable I can push more power and it is a bit cleaner than the standard 3.5mm unbalanced. The in-line Microphone: The mic is alright in terms of quality, but it really needs to be clipped to your shirt or collar to be close to your mouth so the mic picks up your voice. If it's just hanging down then the mic barely picks up my voice and it's like I'm far away. The convenience of the mic though is handy so as long as it's clipped by your mouth you should be alright. Overall the only thing I'd change is get a balanced cable and then get yourself a decent dac amp to truly experience these IEMs.
