Denon D5200, this is epic. 
Went and ordered more hp drivers and also ordered a pair of iem drivers + shell.
Wooden shell + bio driver, seems like a good fit.

First review after a few months, damn. KZ went Plus Ultra on this one.

Kinda looks like the Thinksound shell
Think I found it.
@Rikudou_Goku Man the Rider 1 is killing it with old school hip hop. I still adore my IEMs but, the Rider 1 is my favorite to throw on for some 80’s and 90’s Hip-Hop. You name Too $hort, Eric B. & Rakim, Wu-Tang, 2Pac, OutKast and Notorious nothing is as satisfying as Archer 1.
Edited because I originally said Archer 1 when a realized I may have the Rider 1. Confirmed with Riku it is indeed the Rider 1. My apologies for the mix up.

Honestly not an iem I would recommend at the price it is at, technically it is below that price range and tonality wise it doesnt match well for my library.

I like this cable, what are those? I wiele use Alter riders for sleeping btw, that is yet another best thing in buds!

So they are physically very comfy, and sonically very soothing?

haha damn, MX500 give me pain after an hour or 2 for some reason…
So far yes, will need to try them out for longer before I can say they are on par with the qian39 shell for comfort.
I will have to R&D with more drivers and tuning before I decide how to proceed with this type of shell. But there is room for a darker (treble) bud (Assassin lineup).

So something like an OG Tea? I’d be all over that.

Havent heard the Teas. But its basically the lineup that will have dark treble, could be dark treble + neutral bass or elevated, the core aspect is the dark treble.
In the iem world, it would be the treble of something like the Final Audio E5000, Sony XBA-Z5, Shuoer EJ07M.

If these buds sound as good as others are saying, then the value/performance ratio is nuts and well worth buying several with different tunings 
I will probably hold off on upgrading my Canon to Moonlight and just buy earbuds (if they fit me well)!

I’ve only got the one now. Others will be on the way soon thanks to @Rikudou_Goku quick builds and great buyer service. We’ll take some time to listen and then try to get a write up in.
