What I find so unique about the Magma: It delivers such a wonderful warmth in the lower mids. In combination with the energetic upper mids you’ll have a very musical and airy experience (regarding makro details). The delightful Bass and the laidback Treble just complete the overall balanced and fun but safe tuning.
Best regards a proud Magma owner.
That sounds like a pretty dope package, man. Your description reminds me of the OH10. Warm low end, but sparkly highs.
Speaking of the OH10s - I decided to get some tuning filters in various sizes and densities to try out some light reversible modding on my current and future IEMs. The first set I chose to mode was the OH10. I love this set, the fit and build are literally second to none. Not to mention, I know they are a very capable IEM - the staging and layering to my ear is uncommonly wide and spacious. I’m not sure if it comes down to the solid copper shell but regardless, I always found them to be too harsh and hot in the upper mids.
Not anymore.
With some 400 density tunings filters, these things are pretty f’Ing unbelievable for the price I paid for them. Thumpy mid-bass, with plenty of grunt backed up by the sub bass, lots of texture in the mids and the treble is airy and sparkly with above average detail in my opinion. The star of the show though, the vocals especially female, are nicely forward in the mix, cutting through the bass so perfectly. I can’t recommend these enough if you can get them on the 2nd hand market under $100, which is where I got my pair. I also paired them with a surprisingly great tip off of Ali. I’ll link em both below.

The tip case they came with is also so overkill and amazing. Plenty of storage for tips

Disclaimer
Take this review with a huge pinch of salt - I focused on bass heavy music genres, because I feel this set is made specifically for them. It is treated for me in fun set category. Just like Truthears Zero and Tri KAI was. I don’t have either of them at this point even though I enjoyed them almost as much as I do SIE right now, so I don’t know if after some initial honeymoon period this would not end up in someone else’s hands as well. Also purchase of this set was really random and stupid, so I may be subconsciously affected with buyers bias.
Intro
With all that being said - this is a really crazy fun set. It is probably how I always imagined OH10 is. It is more L than V in my opinion, as it is not particularly bright (and harsh) and the bass elevation is definitely higher in SPL than any treble peaks are masking any potential brightness.
I wish I have 711 clone to measure the real life frequency response (nowhere to be found) or FatFreq Maestro Mini back at hand to cross compare, but I strongly believe from memory of same tracks it is there or almost there to MM in terms in low end emphasis.

Summary
I don’t know how would that compare to something like Rosefinch, but in general - for a freaking stupid blind buy and for the money I spend it is really great piece of gear for what it is supposed to be (set for rap, dance, modern pop - I guess also for electronic music like house, EDM etc but that is not in my library) . Very good quality, in general very good cable, nice case. Lack of other reviews, very limited options to source probably won’t allow it to become hyped as other sets lately, but if you are into bass heavy sets and are able to catch this set somewhere I would really want to hear some of you guys opinion. Because it is known that my hearing sucks ass and I like everything 
I loved the sound of them but the angle of the nozzle makes them very uncomfortable. 
Thanks for taking that bullet! Im glad it worked out for you. You mentioned the rosefinch so I have to ask
Oh really? For me, the nozzle is so short that it’s tough finding the right tip in order to get a good seal. The tips I linked to above really does a good job at being comfortable but also giving a nice seal. I’m sorry the OH10s didn’t work for you, man :,(
I think that the shell is so ergonomic that it forces the nozzle in a bad angle.
That’s alright, still on the hunt for a great, fun V shape IEM.
Makes sense. For me, they’re probably one of the most comfortable IEMs I’ve ever tried. In terms of a fun, well done V-shaped IEM, have you tried the Fan 1 before? If not, I know @rattlingblanketwoman was selling his pair for a steal. So good, I almost bought them but talked my self out of it lol
I am sorry, but I don’t have and never had Rosefinch. It was just a set I referred to as it is also somewhat very bass focused and popular lately (my only cheap set on hand is KZ CRN, but it is nowhere near as heavy in low end).
But from experience in the hobby my wild guess would be that SIE cannot be worth 4x extra money over Rosefinch for the SQ alone. As most sets in the world don’t scale like that 
I am glad there is still love lut there for the OH10! I still have mine and use them occassionally for the reasons you mentioned. I also love the fit and weight, so good in my ears.
I was a litte too enthusiastic and ended up with two sets of oh10s. Im going to try out the filters and tips you suggested on the 2nd set. Im interested in hearing the differences.
Hell Yeah, man. I was actually considering selling my pair off because they were too harsh for me personally around 3k. With this simple mod however, I think they’re a forever set for me.
Try out the mod and tips and tell me what you think. Obviously, tips are very subjective and these may not work for you, but if they do, I promise they perform higher than what the price would indicate. One piece of advice though, I wish I had gotten all 3 sizes. You may want to consider that.
Here’s a test. Who can tell me what iems these are?
(I took them out of the case and have no idea. They’re not marked)
From “Audio”? (Lokahi guy)
Z1R Lite 
I found it! So close! Audio Hekilli!
Seems there is a new planar driver now.
From a different OEM than the ones out there atm.
First amplifiers now drivers, they’re really branching out!
Shorty Bus stuff…
I bought a pair from @rattlingblanketwoman , but I was out of the country when they arrived a few weeks back so my girl “tried them out” and I never ended up getting to even see them lol! 
Guess I need to find another pair…
