What cheap chink tech have you bought, and would you recommend it?
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on eBay, AliExpress, Gearbest and similar sites.

In China many things tend to be poor copies of originals, even Chink Shit Generals are prone to bootlegs.
Don't forget to post pics of your items and review them for use in the pastebin!

kek
Better thread because the news are actually up to date.
Better pasta, I give you my vote (Even if you're a minute late)
Nice failed thread retard lmao.
>>53948980

>that one rabbit holding a Gearbest cake
Too soon but still lol'd
I had my 10 cent Ultrafire arrive a few days ago, no pics because too lazy
>>53949008
>5 / 0 / 3 / 2
And this is somehow the failed thread.
>>53949019
Was it white it black?
>>53948948
MNan at least write more stuff in the op.
>>53949008
>t.chinese shopping general op
>>53949019
While Focalprice are a bunch of stingy bastards about mispriced shit, Gearbest has honoured the 10cent Ultrafire flashlights and (most) Cakebux purchases.
Waiting for a backpack ordered in February. They spit my order, only got the water pen
>>53949050
the 10 cent flashlight wasn't a mistake though
I love how they talk as if they want to suck my dick just because I ordered something for over a dollar.
>>53949038
It is black, did you get a white one?
>>53949050
GearBest gets dissed too much, they don't deserve it.
>>53949056
Then the backpack wasn't in stock and they're waiting on the supplier to send it to them.
>>53949074
I haven't gotten mine yet, but the description was white and I've only seen black ones.
>Chink shit general
>Don't talk about knockoffs
Come on, son. Where are the goophones and pads? Where are the 3$ fake Beats earbuds? Thread's trash, no one buys chink shit to get lead poisoning from no-name brands
>>53949106
>What are jokes
And nowhere does it say not to talk about actual knockoffs.
>>53949106
All the people who actually bought knockoffs died of penis cancer from eating those 7th dimension dried mangoes.
Finally my chink shit should arrive this week sometime
>>53949148
What you order?
>>53949093
No it was shipped a day before the one that actually arrived. Think it just got lost somehow. They sent another one. My experience with gearbest is good so far so let's hope it gets here
Any good watches?
You started your thread late, it's a spam thread.

Weibo is twitter knockoff.QQ is more a Whatsapp Facebook hybrid
Chinese knock off clothing tends to be pretty bad, but this is alright i think

Didn't an anon buy these and post results? I remember him sayings these are up to par with 850 EVOs but I can't seem to find the pic that had his results and these are tempting for the price alone.
http://www.gearbest.com/hdd-ssd/pp_313951.html
>>53949171
Mine has been good as well every order so far has shipped/arrived within 1 to 2.5 weeks.
>>53949392
yeah and it did well against every well memed ssd except one of the evos
>>53949392
whats the failure rate like?
I'm Chinese. Ni hao.
Are there any good cheap chink routers?
My normal ISP-router is fucking horrible, max 4-5 meter wi-fi.
>>53949557
Gearbest is selling reasonably priced Asus routers, might want to check it out.
>>53949392
yes that seems to be me
btw the SSD is still doing well after several days of using it
>>53949008
Bump :^)
>>53949620
Excellent! Now I'm seriously considering it, also your info needs to be added to the pastebin.
>>53949481
How you 4chan?
I think China ban porn it bad
>>53949068
You better have been polite and thanked them anon
Anyone ever have an Ali supplier call them over an order? I ordered a kit from the official Orange Pi store a while ago and got a few mails about the order. Supposedly they called my parents place (its where I was when I first registered) few times last week about it as well? They had no idea what the fuck was going on or why someone in China was calling them. I don't even know why they were calling, I was responding to the mails.
>>53949590
I need something that can replace my Thomson TG789vn, TG789vn has some IP-Phone and IP-TV ports that I must have on my new one, what ASUS router can you recommend?
Where to get:
Redmi note 3 pro Case + Screen protector
New chink shit arrival.
Bluetooth controller for gaymen on phone. Works perfectly and is high quality, although the stick seems kind of fragile. I'm happy.
More chink shit coming in next week.

Might want to check with the eBay seller first if it's actually for the Note 3 pro
>>53949669
>he gave his real phone number
>>53949719
how much?
I just use my wii mote
>>53949767
I know, I know. I never actually expected it to be used, I just assumed it was for delivery purposes.
>>53949767
I had calls coming from the delivery guy for bigger packages.
There's really not much harm in giving them your number.
>>53949392
I like the design. Also the sharkcards look pretty nice.
Are chinese getting better at designing things for westerners? or is everything just a copy? I know the donut cards are.
>>53949721
Thanks for the help senpai, unfortunately that case looks like wank.
I'll carry on searching.
Again, thanks for the help.

Anyone received their Hi8 Pro yet?

What's the best sub $100 windows tablet then you fags?
>>53949920
They're all shit.
Any recommendations for action cams? The pastebin lists three and it looks like the SJCam is the top dog of that lot, but any personal experiences or recommendations? I'd be mounting it to my car for recording races and would like at least 1080p60 or higher.
>>53949968
Xiaomi's Yicam is fine. Can't really say how it compares to different SJcam or such models, but it's not doing too badly as compared to a Sony A6000.

>>53949942
nice meme
>>53949920
the telstar (I think that's the name) x98 pro is really decent from what I saw on YT.
But the biggest issue with most of the popular wintabs are the heat distributions. which are poor and can make the tablet warm
in doing what, is not clear. From watching the vid it sounds like it'll get hot after doing becnchmarks and emulations
not sure about light use
>>53950096
>the telstar
do you mean Teclast?
Telstar seems to be a really creepy song from the early 60s.
Xiaomi Bunny a cute
>>53950148

it has a z8500 and I'm using a t100ha with the same chip (and ram) it's amazing

Hello there!
I need a new phone. I'm planning on lots of traveling and I need a phone capable of this:
Smooth web browsing
Good GPS
Basic social media apps
Text & Calls
Skype
Decent camera
LONG BATTERY LIFE (like 2 days without charging at least)
cheap (around 200 bucks)
Any tips?
>>53950248
Nope. Only a bathroom sign.
>>53950382
seem like I really need to have my router I have atm from my ISP or else home phone line and TV wont work.
Can I connect my router to this Xiaomi router and connect my Ethernet cable and use the wi-fi of the Xiaomi instead of my normal router?

my shark didnt come with an SD card reader
>>53950501
I heard about that and that seems really awesome but what about other qualities?
>>53950517
Of course they won't give you one if you buy the 8GB or 16GB card, you fucking cheap ass. They aren't a charity.
>>53949265
Bruh, it's hard to fuck up shirts, especially at that price mark
>>53950534
i bought the 32gb. if i'd known i would have gone for the 64gb. fucking queerbest.
>>53950570
Gearbest won't give you one at all. Only Mixza's official store on Ali (MeiDun Technologies) will give you one if you buy the higher capacities.
>>53950586
kill me. i bought it on sale at gearbest. the sd card reader i will never use but i still want one. i should have bought it at ali.
>>53950613
My non-shark came loaded with USB and SD adapter
>>53950649
send?? :(
>>53950096
The x98 pro is over $230 m8.
The Hi8 Pro is currently the best tablet under 100 dollars.
Sure the battery is not great, the eMMC is not great but it has the best screen compared to all other 8" tablets who have worse screens, worse builds or just as bad eMMC.
Got me shark

哇, 真的是一分钱一分货。
I fell for the Note 3 Pro meme. It better be worth it or I'll be in these threads bitching about it till the end of time.

WHAT MORE SHOULD I BUY?
>>53950828

I hope you enjoy sucking on air
>>53951290
Why not?
>>53951376
16GB is nothing. Why not go for at the very least 64GB ?
First time in this thread (there are two of them btw). I just finished reading the pastebin and noticed made-in-china.com isn't listed in it.
Is it because it's shit or what?
I'm asking because I want to buy dj equipment and made-in-china has more to choose from compared to the rest of the sites I've checked so far.
>>53951349
I got one like that
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10ft-3-5mm-Headphone-Stereo-Audio-Female-to-Male-Extension-Cable-Cord-For-Mp4-3-Brand/817097151.html
Pretty happy with it, already works longer than most cheap non-Chinese cords I ever bought.
>got memed into ordering a 64gb shark
>i don't even need it
Need some earbud (not IEM) recommendations
Gonna be using them for VR porn
>>53951492
I was going to do this, but I realised that my 32GB card is only like 1/2 full, and I'm switching from my SGS4 (16GB) to my new Note 3 pro (32gb).
literally memetech.
By the time I need a new card, 1GB will be the price 1MB is now.
>>53951485
wow looks good mate! thanks a bunch.
>>53951438
The other thread is a bootleg version, never heard of made-in-china.com but judging from the frontpage it's another aliexpress type site. What type of dj equipment exactly are you looking to buy?
>Chinese escalator on the frontpage
nope nope nope
Remember to buy an universal adapter as well when buying chink shit off aliexpress/gaybest
>wasting my time driving to Walmart just to find that shit
>>53951592
It's probably safer to buy that sort of stuff locally than buying it from China.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvOTiQKkQMo
>>53951196
Take the image and get a $1 mouse pad instead.
>>53951547
>What type of dj equipment exactly are you looking to buy?
Mixer and decks.
The only inquiry I've made so far was too good to be true. Nearly 10 grand worth of equipment for only 2 grand. Something too fishy about it.
>escalators
lmao they have elevators listed too
Is there such thing as buying chinese, good gpu's?
Can I build an awesome gaming desktop with cheap as fuck hardware coming from china?
>>53951633
What? The charger or adapter?

yeah I had to break the glass because that shitty tanks glass glued itself with an oring in 1 weeks of use, was impossible to get it off without breaking the glass.

FUCK its only on gearbest, guess I order from there again. THX

>>53951592
Is it alright to use teclast charger for redmi 3?
I mean, they are both rated at 2v
>>53952066
Gaybest already have a discounted price, so when you enter code for a discount it counts from original price and in the most cases it become higher.
Gaybest coupons are useless, as far as i understand.

I recommend anyone watching this to not be a poorfag and buy something like the x98 pro or t100ha/Chi
not sure about x98's but ssd >>>>>eMMC, had a t100ta and it wasn't total shit but I can imagine how something cheap like a Hi8 would be.
It's ok for music, browsing, CC audio tho.
>>53952462
I only have a 8mbit connection, so would that even make a difference?
>>53952511
Conservation effort-related
Plastic zip ties isn't cut it because we need to put the number on the birds too
>>53952452
The flashlight is good, the carabiner is sturdy enough for me. the charger came with a micro USB to USB cable and a micro USB to iPod adapter, which I wasn't expecting. I can't speak to if it's actually 5Ah yet.
>>53952539
Transfering data on LAN?
That regular edition got also only 100Mbps ports, and that's reason why myself I am still staying with TP-Link.
>>53952581
nah I dont really do that, only use it for the wifi.

>>53952624
>not IEM
He wants earbuds, not in ear monitors.
>>53952624
They won't sell it to you unless you send them a photo of your passport and utility bill.
>>53949392
you can get it a bit cheaper from alie
>>53952624
they are great, buy them from ali though.
>>53952646
it makes no difference
>>53951525
Just get the VE Monk on Aliexpress, they'll be in stock in the coming weeks. Normal price is 5USD.

>>53952686
Why Ali?
>>53952717
Cheaper fampai. Also they don't take their own sweet ass time to ship.
>>53952687
I do not for one second believe the hype for these things and with those twats over at Placebo-fi will just parrot what the first shiller was saying.
hey /csg/
I have 75 bucks to burn?
Already bought the 30 dollar 136-174Mhz & 400-520Mhz radio.
What now?
>>53952797
Vr set, orange pi, rabbit tail buttplug. I reccomend all three
>>53952797
Shark cards
>>53952648
???
>>53952769
I've had plenty of my Gearbest orders ship the next day though, so I'm okay with them.
>>53952797
Buy stuff that you need/want, not because you want to burn it.

Nope. Stick doesn't come off.
I'm playing Baldurs Gate GBA edition atm, it's noice.
yey some progress
I wonder how they're gonna mail it, I'm guessing DHL on Monday given the times over there, hopefully it gets here by Friday.
>>53953002
>DHL
yeah, sure. you're getting China Post Standard Ground and you'll like it.
>>53953002
My orders looks quite good too.
>>53952842
More like I dont even know what the best options here are so I dont know what I want.
>>53952687
Seems like a meme
Does anyone have these?
>>53952686
I don't find IEMs comfortable at all
>>53953016
I paid for Expedited Shipping though, at least on their site it says either Hong Kong UPS or DHL for where I live and it has same delivery times.
>>53953070
I have these, can confirm that they're pretty good. I've pretty much replaced my portapro's and whatever the koss clip ons are called with them.
Don't believe the shills over at head-fi that keep going "oh, it sounds better than my hd600's!" They're not that good.
>>53949620
>the 120GB one is 22€
Fuck you china, I hope the drive don't die in months
>>53949719
What the product name and how much
>>53953120
>they're pretty good
>They're not that good.
So which is it?
>>53953172
He explained it pretty well
>pretty much on par or better than PortaPros
>not better than $300+ headphones
>>53953172
Did I really word it that badly? They're really good for the 5+shipping that you pay.
They're not THAT good, eg. not as good as a sennheiser HD600 that costs 300-350$, like the fucks over at head-fi would like you to believe.
>>53952624
>>53952686
Don't listen to these people, the KZ ATE are the worst IEM meme to come to these boards in a long time. Get the ED-9 or something.
>>53952598
No difference then.

Shark is faster than my SanDisk 128gb. What the fuck.
Any good stores with eu warehouses for chinkphones? I want to replace my old as shit android but I don't want to risk paying tax+import costs by buying from ali.
The VE monks are a meme, there's nothing special about them, it's a cheap generic shell around a standard tiny little driver. It's all standard budget components with nothing special going on at all.
At least they're not expensive.
The idea behind them is as follows:
>Source cheap as fuck bulk components
>Build completely standard cheap earbuds from them
>Shill your product on head-fi
>Head-fi regulars who legitimately do not have any idea what they're talking about start spouting bullshit about the imaging and sound stage clarity of them, because I already said it was great
>People go to head-fi without knowing they're all fucking retards
>Sales
Very simple, very cheap.
>>53953270
Which one? There's like three versions.
http://www.gearbest.com/kz-ed9-_gear/
>>53953021
>>53953002
GB rite? mine has been stuck on 04/Apr for a while
but I'm not bugging desu
>>53953405
What do you recommend for earbuds?
>>53953424
No, I'm pretty sure there's only one version, two if you count the unit with attached microphone, but the monitors themselves don't change. Also, those gaybeast prices are ridiculous. You shouldn't be paying more than +$2 for the microphone.
>>53953434
Yeah I ordered from GB. First time I use GB since I mostly stick to a few sellers on Ali for components or I go through Banggood for actual products.
>>53953498
If you're looking for VE monk levels of quality sound then I suggest anything from the local dollar store. They're the same components.
are there any decent chinese smartwatches?
>>53953434
Only that 2nd shipment is from GB. First one is Geekbuying finally reshipping my pistons, and third is taobao ordrer.
>>53953400
Sites like Gearbest etc now use EU postal companies whenever shit gets sent there to bypass customs.
So when in actuality it's from china your package will say Belgium Post and have a Belgian return address.
>>53953505
They're priced the same if not more on Ali.
>>53952568
>>53953526
You have no idea how shit the local dollar store ones are.
>>53953547
Isnt that mail fraud?
>>53953566
And you think the monks are actually good?
In my local "poundland" can be found earbuds using the EXACT same case moulds, just in different colours, including clear. They even have the depression for the sticker though there's nothing in it.
These monks are quite honestly the equivalent of $1000 special cables for audiophiles, just on a smaller scale.
>>53953547
Actually it doesn't help, these packets have "Goods Do Not Meet The Requirement Of Article 9 and 10 Of The Contract For The Foundation Of The European Community." sticker.
>>53953609
They actually employ those companies for the shipping so technically it's not? If shit's faulty you send it back to the Belgian/Dutch/Swiss address and they will ship it on to China.
They used to game the system by marking EVERYTHING as gift, that no longer works so now they do this and it's a-ok by me.
>>53953270
>he KZ ATE are the worst IEM meme to come to these boards in a long time
explain
>>53953609
Do you think Mr. Ching Chong winkyeyes cares a shit for laws? They have a machine that prints CE, RoHS and every other certificates on every single product, despite none of them even partaking in the certification.
>>53953625
I got that sticker too. I don't understand, how come the parcel aren't returned back to the sender?
>>53953625
Mine didn't and it says Bpost on it.
>>53953547
Oh sweet
That means I can import >5mW lasers?
>>53953625
this
>>53953625
What does that mean it's not recommended to buy chinkphones over alie?
>>53953537
first time buying from GeekBuying? Taobao
>>53953525
yeah same, the concept really isn't bad and very intriguing.
But the shipping is absolute shit, at least the support is civil and quick-ish to respond to
>>53953679
It means that you have no one to blame but yourself when your house burns down.
>>53953667
shit you got the same kind of laws as here
tho here the limit is 1mW, ridiculous
>>53953657
> despite none of them even partaking in the certification.
None? Almost all certifications on genuine products (as opposed to forgeries made by someone else than the label says) are genuine.
>>53953561
When I bought them early in the year they were $12.98 on Ali, and I could swear the one with microphone was roughly the same price (and not double). The ED3 is also worth looking at. They are slightly cheaper.
>>53953697
Ah fine so no paying extra for tax&import?
>>53953270
what a bunch of idiots you guys are. the KZ ATE are no monitors. do you even know what an IEM is? monitors are meant to have flat frequency response. the KZ ATE look like shure IEMs but they are normal earbuds.
Don't forget that no matter what size it is or where you live, your parcel has a small chance to ALWAYS be opened and searched, even in the U S of A.
>>53953613
not that guy, but are you really basing your entire argument on their casing? Of course their going to use generic cheapshit casings to keep costs down.
>>53953679
Customs pick a handful of packages out of millions that just pass on through, if they checked every single one there'd be delays like no tomorrow.
Sometimes it's just luck of the draw and you get taxed for that shit because your got picked out of a batch of packages.
>Bought a Superlux HD681EVO from Gearbest some months ago

sure brand name products like samsung are fine, but there are generic products with all the certificiates, but many videos on youtube showing them to be clearly dangerous and against the rulings
>>53953726
Oh no.. Will my dickgirl daki be confiscated because of some archaic obscenity law?
>>53953721
How muddy would you say the mids are on the ATEs, you autistic fuck?
>>53952779
>>53953070
I have them. They're certainly not as good as the guys on head-fi say, but they offer about 75% of the sound quality of my KZ ED9 for half of the price, so can't complain.
>>53953734
The entirety of their constuction is cheap and nasty, every component is cheap. You can see the no-name hand cut board which just holds the driver in place.
There's a reason quality earbuds don't use that crappy thin plastic cap but don't listen to me mate, why don't you go ahead and order 10 or 20 of them, I mean, they're so cheap you'd be crazy not to, right?
>>53953774
Welcome to the placebo you easily led fucking moron.
>>53953774
How are they compared to the Apple earpods that come with the iPhone?

No need to get snappy, nigger, just asking a question. What would you say are quality earbuds then?
>>53953753
>>53953772
might be bait, but you guys dont understand what i said. monitors are actually worse than non-monitors for just listening to music, and fidelity or "muddy mids" have nothing to do with this.
>>53953721
Shure iems aren't flat.
>>53953812
Stop dodging the question and tell us how muddy the mids are, using as many autistic placebofag audiophile terms as possible.
>>53953790
It's been some time since I listened to earpods, but I'd say they're a bit better.
>>53953864
not at all, nobody in the thread ever mentioned muddy mids besides you.
>>53953895
Would you describe the mids on the ATEs as bright then?
>>53953935
muddy or bright are bad words to describe mids. in fact, bright mids dont even exist. it's just the frequency response that is different on different devices. the ATEs do not have oversaturated mids, if that is what you mean.

>>53953270
Actual audiophile-ish anon here (audiophile like "I've listened to a few good headphones", not "I just ordered porcelain cable risers for $31,999"). Ordered both the ED9 and the ATE. Both have arrived, though the ED9 has a sealing issue that I have a replacement coming for in a day or two, but I should be able to give a pretty accurate impression of the sound (with very short burn in; I only have 20 hrs burn on both pairs)
Give me a moment and I'll type out a review here for everyone. Personally, I prefer the sound of the ED9s with the bass nozzles to the ATEs or the ED9s with the neutral nozzles; the ED9s are painfully bright with the neutral nozzles and the ATEs are darker than a mandatory high school class in the deep south. Hoping burn-in helps the sibilance of the ED9s and the veiled nature of the ATEs.
>>53954077
I'd let her sit on my face, to be honest.
>>53954086
Both honestly
>>53953754
> sure brand name products like samsung
No, I mean Chinese brands. Even if they make LED bulbs or chargers. As long as they do it under their company name or their brands, it should be fine.
> but many videos on youtube showing them to be clearly dangerous and against the rulings
The devices with no brand name or fakes of brand names are risky, yep.

>>53954150
(1/2)
Okay here goes
Note: Testing was primarily done on an iPod Video 5.5 running RockBox.
KZ ATE:
Initial impressions: Arrived in a little shield case just like the ED9. (Pictured, top left) Packaged within were the IEMs and three sets of tips - large silicone, medium foam, and small silicone. The foam tips, personally, were painfully large for me, but I have a petite frame and usually need small earbuds anyway; it's a shame since I would have liked to test the foam earbuds that I assume most anons will be using. So, this review was conducted with the small silicone tips.
Overview of the earbuds:
Comfort: Once inserted, the IEM is relatively comfortable at first; though you can definitely feel the nozzle in your ear as it's quite long and thick (kek). It starts to become uncomfortable over time and I found myself needing breaks from having the IEMs in my ears. Wearing them over the ear, even with glasses, provided minimal issues with pain on my ear and kept them in place extremely well.
They aren't the most comfortable IEM I've ever tested but there's been far worse. These IEMs absolutely must be worn over the ear or they will fall out due to their housing shape and design, but I didn't notice any particular discomfort related to wearing them that way; it's a direct improvement as far as microphonics and fit are concerned.
Microphonics: With the sport clips included in the ED9s attached to them, microphonics are audible but not annoying. They're quiet enough that they won't detract from the listening experience when worn over the ear. With that in mind, I'd recommend shelling out for the sport clip version of the ATE if you do choose to purchase it.
>>53954683
i keep a similar one in my guitar case all the time. they are fine if you need it portable, but wired irons will still have more power for the price.
>>53954730
(2/3, apparently)
Sound: Now for the part everyone is actually interested in.
In general, I found the sound of the KZ ATEs to be dark, but not obstructively so. Treble is present, but slightly veiled; it lacks the clarity and width associated with neutral monitors. That being said, voices come out clear and loud enough to not detract from the experience, giving the headphone something of an imbalanced "V" shaped sound signature. As is typical for the sound signature, mids are a bit drowned out, particularly with vocals. EQ may help this.
That being said of the treble being veiled and the midrange being good, the bass/midbass are the stars of the show; they come out deep and impactful. You will feel the thump of the bass in your body; it has that much kick to it. Midbass is the focus of the sound signature and depending on the kind of music you listen you, you may actually enjoy this; rap would sound great with these, but honestly, who here listens to rap?
The IEMs are EXTREMELY revealing of source quality. They transform in sound signature in a surprisingly huge way when connected to different devices. For example, I noticed much better, sharper treble when played through an iPod Video 5.5 (non-diymod), and flatter and more sterile signature out of my LG G3, losing its warmth and impact as well as its clarity. When connected to my HTC One M8, the bass was boosted to near unbearable levels without an associated gain in bass quality and warmth; it became a very synthetic and unappealing fake bass that was being overplayed dramatically. The treble and midrange suffered under the midbass's weight. I could not test them with my desktop audio setup as a 6.3mm -> 3.5mm adapter was required and the angled shape of the ATE's plug made it impossible to connect.
>>53954744
65W seems plenty
I think my station actually has less than that.
>>53954683
I hope you are also fine with the idea of a burning laptop bag.
>>53953961
kid's gonna love dat phone
>>53954753
As far as how it sounded on a genre basis with what I tested:
Synthwave: Good; bass and treble played together relatively well, with the upper-mids being slightly recessed. In a nonvocal track, the listening experience was pleasing, though not particularly impressive.
Electronic: Okay; on treble-focused tracks, the vocals were present and worked in tandem with the rest of the music, but they didn't have the clarity that other headphones (such as the ED9) have. A good listening experience, but not much more than that.
Rock: Good; the bass guitar and drums came out on top and carried the song well, but vocals were crushed under their weight. Again, clarity suffers, its a veiled sound.
Metal: Great; I didn't expect it, but these performed pretty well at metal. The v-shaped signature was VERY obvious as the softer and sharper guitars created a gap in which the vocals lied, but as the song was primarily focused on the treble and bass working together, it turned out well.
Conclusion:
Comfort: 5.0/10: Uncomfortable, but tolerable for longer listening sessions
Microphonics: 7.0/10, minimal and unobtrusive but present
Sound: 5.5/10: While it may appeal to some, I felt the V-shaped sound signature of the earbuds detracted heavily from the sound quality. It's a very subjective type of sound but objectively speaking, the midrange suffered, the treble was veiled, and only the bass/midbass had particularly noteworthy performance.
The ED9s will be next, once my good pair arrives. I'll also update this later after 200 hours of burn in on the ATEs.
Also here's the missing picture. Top is the case and all, bottom are the earbuds themselves.
