Worth it!

This is my first IEM. Like many have already mentioned, this has a very flat sound signature and not suitable for bass-heads. The sound quality is top notch and very rich at this price point. Go for it!

Amazing sound for the price.. especially for the mids and the treble

I've been using it for almost 2 years now, still enjoy it. Thinking of getting another pair but I see they've increased it's price.

EXTREME TECHNICALITIES BUT ALSO FATUGING FOR LONG LISTENING.

Technicalities is too high.
Flat sound signature and producing extreme accurate music. The Size is tiny and fits perfectly for me
used with avani dac and get extremely good output with my note 10.

One thing bad is experienced ear fatigue after one hour of use. May be it's only for me.

BUT THE DEAL TOTALLY WORTH

Hey Rhiddha, thank you so much for the genuine feedback, we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well!

Brilliant DF tuning

First of all, these do not sound thin as in zpolt reviews. When a recording has bass, these reproduce it without emphasizing it. The resolution is quite decent for the price, the fit is great for side sleeping, cables are decent, the stock tips are bad none of them fit me.

They sound quite neutral and slightly sibilant. I am not a treble head but I do not mind the harshness, in fact I like the treble on these. I also have the Final E3000/E5000 and these are a break from the dark sounding iems. These are great to listen to podcasts and videos because of the natural mids and boosted treble. You can hear all details even on low volume with is quite nice.

They perform very well with fast music like heavy metal because there is almost no emphasis on bass, so they decay is rapid so the music never sounds congested. As for other genre EDM, pop they suffer due to the lack of boost in bass but a little EQ can make these sound like SSP.

A definitely recommended iem for someone who wants a detour from the traditional L, V or U shaped sound signatures.

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback. We'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!

Spaceship it is

I am just a regular-everyday-normal... I am no audiophile. I don't even understand why people spend lacs on headsets. I was sceptical about spending 3500 on a simple thing such as an iem, even lied my mom about it. But bro, this thing takes you to places you have never been. I like a good quality earphones where i can hear as much instruments as possible... those distant toots and close trills, those drumbeats and those lilts, is all i need to be happy. (Also, i need to hear the dialogues in a series and the voice of a tutor when the video is playing in 2x. But that's a question for another whatif :p) If you know what i am talking about, you will definitely feel what i feel. It isn't bulky at all like other iems. And if you are spoiled to sleeping wearing a headset, this is just the one for you. The quality of wire, because of the casing around it is pretty impressive. I hate why these chinese are making such good babies and we aren't.
1 drawback: It doesn't come with a mic though.
1 more: The tips aren't of the standard they should have been.
Pair these with a good memory foam tips and take care of them, you won't need another headset for a lifetime. (Provided, you are also a regular-everyday-normal...)

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!

Give it some time.

I waited for a week to write this review, letting the IEMs burn in through 40 hours.

When you first put on the earphones and you have a listen, you'll surely be surprised because of the bass, there isn't any thump to it, but however its detailed, I suggest you try switching tips to help you with a great fit and for the best sound. After the 40 hour long burn in, the sound is more mature, I can hear some more of the soundstage and the bass is a bit better compared to when you first listened to them. Listening to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' you can hear the layering and the distortion noise coming in at 2:00-2:30, ' The Nearness of you' by Nancy Wilson sounds magnificent on these!, the piano on the left and the brush on the snare, the cello in the right! OOOF, Her vocals are clean and detailed; the cymbals in the end of this song extends well and is superb.' Doin' it Right' by Daft Punk when the bass hits, its not that kind of bass that will shake your ears, but its detailed and it do extends to the sub bass. 'Kina Grannis - Can't Help Falling In Love' - you can hear the reverb fading out slowly.

Bottom-line : These IEMs aren't meant for everyone, if you're a person who like to listen to music colorless and you're into critical listening. At this price point, you can't go wrong with this. Don't be fooled by the number of drivers some other IEMs has to offer, of course some are good at a higher price point, but the SSR with its one beryllium coated driver with PU suspension ring, it sounds more expensive than it should be. However , I find it hard to drive it with a phone. And it kind of reminds me of the HD600's airiness.

PS: buy the KZ hard case to carry these, the bag it comes with is basically not protective at all. The case is under 200 rupees!
