Nice earbuds on a budget below 1000, with good sound and fit. Quite durably built.

The product comes in a very tiny packing which I liked quite a lot. It contains the earphones, 2 pairs of donut shaped ear pads and a small metal carry box.

While the product itself looks unique and sounds decent, its not worth the price. It sounds like any other semi-open earphones costing 300 rupees. The extra cost may be justified for transparent design and silver coated wires.

There's nothing much to describe the sound here. They sound decent overall. Enough bass but obviously no sub bass due to the design.

I'd recommend you to stay away from this product due to microphonics. I've faced it in one of the buds. They aren't present all the time but when you move or sleep against them it's THERE and it's really annoying. Other reviews online have mentioned facing similar issue.

Thank you audio store for the prompt and timely delivery

Firstly I request all those who buy this or read this to keep reminding themselves that this costs under 1k

Presentation:
The packaging was solid, appealing and compact.. I adore the case.. It's durability remains to be seen..

What's great:
Soundstage width at this price point is praiseworthy to say the least.. The depth is pretty much non existent.. but then again, the price...
Imaging is decent and u can't ask for more at this price..
Separation is okay...
Tuning: The best part..
Mid focussed.. vocals stand out... especially the female vocals..
Upper mids are great..so is lower treble.
Bass is phenomenal being an open earbud.
Midbass has ample impact..
Although sub bass is almost absent.
I guess that's the trait of most open earbuds.
However the sound signature is good enough to keep you engaged and entertained.
The buds themselves seem sturdy enough...the cable seems sturdy enough.
The foam covers are okay..
Comfort is pretty good.

The not great:
The cable is stiff though. It doesn't stay put after a roadie wrap.
Minor microphonics audible.
The upper treble lacks airyness and this decreases the overall range of it.
So I suggest you use a good 10 band equalizer like Poweramp and slightly boost up the 3k, 8k regions symmetrically by about 2-3 dbs...
That greatly improves the balance..

The ugly:
None that I've discovered so far..

Overall can u get better at this price??
Unlikely..
Maybe there's something out there better..maybe there isn't.
What matters is this punches significantly above it's price point..
I do not think there's any person out there for whom, buying this would be a wrong decision...
Peace out!

The Good:
First time you put this on you would notice is the soundstage, its width, but lacks in depth perception. It has a mid – focused tuning. Vocals has got a significant life especially male vocals but it needs slight refinement in higher female vocal notes. Based on mastering and your source the mids could sound quite intimate, depending on your taste it could sound shouty. Significant amount of sub-bass roll -off which is expected out of most earbuds is present here also. However, this doesn’t mean it is not enjoyable you will definitely feel the kick drums and other percussion instruments but you would wish it had slightly more bass, but that's quite user specific and depended on genres of music you listen to. Bass heads- it's better you look for something else. This wouldn't satisfy your needs. Quantity of the bass present doesn’t bleed into mids. Drivers are quite sensitive and of impedance of 32ohms hence you can drive them of your phones. I have to admit the cable is quite amazing for it's price.

Bad:

The donut ear pads provided needs to be slightly larger. First time users will just tear them right apart on putting them on. For me I got better bass and mids response with full foam pads which was not provided in the box.

Instrument separation is not top notch, picking out instruments can be a little difficult but these are $10, considering the price to performance ratio it's a bang for buck in terms of imaging and instrument separation. Treble is where it where it lacks again. Those cymbal strikes, hi-hats and decays sound veiled. Wish it had slightly more sparkle to it.

And The Ugly:
I couldn’t find any.

Verdict:
That initial wow- factor is created due to the lush mid-range and soundstage.
Overall, I would rate it 3.5/5.

These earphones look beautiful. The cable has a premium built, quite heavy, and does induce stethoscopic noises but I am okay with it.

I drove the earphone from my Schiit Stack, XD-05 and iBasso DX160; in daisy chain and found great results. The sound signature is slightly warm, the treble is airy and much better reciprocated than the VE Monk Plus. The mids are not recessed and sound as they should. The bass is not as punchy and dynamic as the VE Monk but the remaining spectrum more than makes up for it.

It is a pleasing earphone, destroys any competition till 2K mark. My Hifiman Re400 was sweating at the 2K mark but they offer much better comfort and isolation. Tonally, I have no complaints. Technically, there isn't much room for expectations but I could identify 3-5 points where imaging is prominent in the limited soundstage. Which again, is much better than the VE Monk. Overall, this is a well-rounded earphone and edges out the VE Monk in my opinion.

I commend The Audio Store for retailing such earphones, that is not as brutally marketed as some brands (ahem bOat) - but do their job gracefully. Another addition to my collection.

I ordered these and was pleasantly surprised. When compared to RY4S(I have 32-ohm model) and Monks Plus(from memory):

Mimi is somewhat better in the mid-range than both. Treble has some sort of magic. However, the sub-bass is inferior to RY4S and better than Monks Plus. I think the quantity of bass is okay if you add some through EQ.

When compared to IEMs, When you listen to any stringed instrument on this, it will be hard to enjoy it on any IEMs. Same with vocals. They sound way too natural and coherent.

Downsides:
Frequency extension is bad. Even very cheap earphones that are bundled with phones are better in low end.

The soundstage is wide and open BUT it makes my ears pain due to weirdly positioned bass. Especially if tracks have a drum or something not at the center.

Highs have a peak somewhere. maybe somewhere between 6k to 8k and it pierces your ear at times.

Overall: quite possibly better than most earbuds at this price or near to them at least. My use case is to listen to acoustic tracks, stringed instruments, etc. For everything else, IEMs are better.
