    Sweet, they are pretty much like Ultimate ears Super.fi3s, great price for a pair of decent IEMs.

    Thanks for the heads up, I went ahead and grabbed myself a pair! I never had a high-end earphone before hope this one doesn't disappoint.

    based on some reviews I read, these have clear but not heavy bass. They will be more neutral sounding to those who like lots of bass. They are an excellent buy and I picked up a set but buyers should be aware about the bass quantity.

    Those were my 1st pair of IEMs too! (super.fi3) :D Its a good all rounder.

    Yup, very true. From my experience with the super.fi3s, if you are looking for ALOT of bass, these are not for you. Its sound quality is decent given its price.

    Also note that if you have small ears, these tend to stick out abit, its looks weird. lol
