Mate, your channel grew to 150k subs! I was there when you started and it was your no-BS approach to iems that got me on this hobby with the DM6s. What a journey mate. Happy that you are going strong. To more subs and great years ahead brother. Thank you.
It’s really cool of you to do something for the original guy who won the S08. I’m gonna pick up this set for fun. $12 is essentially nothing, especially for this.
It's crazy how well some of these ultra budget sets are performing. My wife was on Temu again last night shopping for her crafting stuff and found a pair of DSP ND Audio for 5.00 and I'm going to give them a whirl. It's only 5.00! I have that 3.00 set from Temu that in my opinion, is worth 20 times that amout.
Very cool to see that even budget sets can deliver sound quality unheard of at this price range just a few years ago. Thanks Chris for keeping us up to date on what's available for those without deep wallets. Also thanks for the shot, take care and God Bless...
Sounds really nice with my playlists, but the cable was DOA on right side and the cable connections have movement inside the iem shell. It’s a budget iem so be prepared for potential issues.
love your approach to reviews, youve quickly become my go to for feedback! definately going to have to try this set out, the budget space is absolutely insane right now!
Craziness. The industry never ceases. I think it’s great of you to rec a set by a company that affected you personally. Since it’s similar in target, how would you rate it against the Z300?
Very impressive for 12$, good for them. It can be the set to gift to people for their first IEM. Also, would love to hear more on your thoughts about the drivers and the comparisons.
@@joshuasantoso556 Yesterday, the right side got quieter and quieter. I thought I was imagining it or going deaf until I tried another pair 🤣. I tested multiple cables and the effect was the same. I loved the sound so much, I did order another set, though. I think the Z300 deserves way more hype than the QKZ x HBB, honestly.
I took a break from watching your videos cause I found my endgame budget iem (Hype 2) and didn't want to be tempted by new releases...but I really enjoy the way you talk about music and iems, so I'm back with the little support I can bring!💪🍻
I recently started peeking behind the 4th wall into headphones and the costs are just hilariously cheap for TOTL models from the very manufacturers that actually make them, and there's even unreleased updated driver tech that hasn't actually been released yet. I'm getting really tempted to do some runs of headphones but I'm pretty picky about what I would want in a final product.
Here to check out your ratings on this one. Low priced sets can sound pretty good. Looking for new options for further purchases for our church band members, a few new ones coming on board. Also, the S08 were a very good review and that one is on my short list for one to get for 2024.
Got mine for $2 insane value for the price it like 70% of ew200 and a little bit warmer. $2-6 insane value, $12-15 good value. If you're looking for something to use while commuting or a cheap gift, this set is good.
I'd say they are 80% of ew200 in terms of driver quality, but they are a lot more lively and musical so for me they are better than ew200. Nowadays there are better iems out there but 5 years ago could've been around 100$.
Great to hear about good tuning at a budget price but always worry about QC. I got a set of QKZ+HBB with such a bad channel imbalance they can’t be used. Too bad because the one that works sounds sweet. Hope people get a working set at this price. Thanks for the review. Peace.
😮 Very cheap to be compared to more expensive sets. Love it when this happens, chance to get a glimpse of what more expensive sets can do on the cheap. Nice review. 👍
How do you determine the quality of a driver? Do you have inside information you can't share with us? Or do you teardown iems and read the serial number and have ways of finding out (i.e industry contacts)

The budget realm is a completely different ballpark nowadays
this dude really drops this video a day after I swore off budget sets 😂
Don't. Just do the research, choose rightly.
From what I was able to gather, this is KZ's response to what they believe are tuning flaws in the Moondrop Jiu, Simgot EW200, and Fiio FFS.
$12 worth $120 this is what the majority wanting for, thanks for bringing this up man
NOT the majority of audiophiles. We want a DITA Project M (if we only knew it!),

Ditto with DM6, still got it too
@@gprider1525 Brilliant set(if you got the earlier ones). My go-to set till date. For that price point, it was a solid set.
dude
12 bucks?!?!?!
at that price i'm just happy it got detachable cable.
now i can get good tuning too...😂
$12 is crazy, like I wholeheartedly thought there wasn't gonna be much innovation in this price range. I'm glad I'm wrong though.
It’s really cool of you to do something for the original guy who won the S08. I’m gonna pick up this set for fun. $12 is essentially nothing, especially for this.
Nice to see a budget set every now and then
i've bought the set for like 5$ and it makes me rethink about all of my previous purchases. The sound quality is just unbelievable for the price.
You already have them? If so any specific pair it sounds close to or compete with? Can't wait for mine to arrive
Oh snap $12? Idk though, that 12” sub from the bakery down the road is calling my name louder rn
A 12 inch subwoofer for only $12? That sounds like a bargain, too. Less portable, though.
@@PlanetJASON Sub as in a sandwich 🥪 😆
crazy how the ultrabudget iems are getting better and better
It will definitely make it to your budget tier list. Can't wait for that.

I have decided to keep it for my morning walks using a spare cable that I won’t be detaching…

$12 is crazy.... Especially when some companies started charging higher prices for their new sets... Might get it just as a spare/backup set
Thanks for the review man!
Didn't expect it to be this good
Very impressive for 12$, good for them. It can be the set to gift to people for their first IEM.
Also, would love to hear more on your thoughts about the drivers and the comparisons.
Always love it when there is a budget banger.
Thanks for making the video and bringing this to our attention.
Bought them before the video even finished for only £8. Can't believe the tuning is getting THIS good at budget prices. Massive win for consumers.
Value for your money makes anyone happy :)
Thanks for sharing your review!
Can't wait to hear these. I'm going to buy them
I live in SEA and upon checking it on online stores I was SURPRISED that it's even cheaper, about half of 12USD!
I'm also in SEA, where did you see it? I'm worried about buying a fake copy
@@BTSArmy-ge5gf Shopee, im honestly not concerned with potentially getting a fake one.. too niche to be profitable for forfeiters
I hope they sell millions of these.
Excellent video..Just ordered a pair 😮
Every now and then a gem like this shows up.
The dream is true, turning 12$ into 120$ just by buing the EDC PRO! Loved the review and the business class. Keep the good work
Always good to see these recs. Can always use budget sets for gym and/or sleep.
I just bought the Kefine Delci because my Z300 crapped out. Now I find out there’s a really good cheap set 🙂! Darn this hobby!
What happened to your Z300? I'm using it too

funny, same thing is happening to my z300

it happened to mine for the left..then after leaving it for a day or two..i found that my sis using it on laptop working like a charm😂
You're guldern right about retail mark up on prices is insane...but golly this set hopefully gets a decent share..
love you bad guy good audio!
Haven’t bought a set in a year, time for a relapse! Actually pretty to get something new! Thanks for the rec
I think it's amazing that the manufacturer has a profit at this price.
Awesome review as always, I digg your style
$12 wow. I'm hyped for this set. Great review Chris as always🔥
This is the kind of set that gets more people into the hobby. Im gonna give it a try and give one away too. Thanks Chris for the video.
I've been looking for a solid budget everyday set, so I'm really excited to try this one out!
I was looking for another budget IEM for when I do yard work. Looks like I'm buying this one. Thanks for the review.
I have to buy these simply because of the price. I love these little gems. I'm also appreciative of your willingness to show these to us.
Nice one. Simple and efficient. Thanks for the video
I really will buy it. I just wait for that review. Thx man i am so glad to hear what you say!!!
The tuning looks promising, nice budget set
It just gets better and better
At 12 dollars I'm going to try it and even if I don't like the tuning, I'll help someone else out and give it to them. Great video.
This is amazing. Producing a $100 value for $12. great entry level iem for the ultra budget shopper.
Thank you for the heads up on the amazing performance of this budget set
Nice to see super budget reviews once in awhile
These are the best videos, the hidden gems!
Thanks for the review!

I read there are two cable versions, which one did you receive? They say it makes a difference in sound quality.
Nice, simple and straight to the point
I didn't knew we would see this day so soon. Good day for us budget iem lovers
Nice! Thanks for the review and reccommendation!
ultra budget sets are getting so good
love when you get excited about budget stuff...
This i need to buy, in my budget and with good tuning for 12 bucks. Thanks Chris for the vid.

For 12 bucks you cannot argue, thanks for the rivew as always
Wow the graph looks really good for the price.
Nice video HBB 😊😊 we miss great ultra budget sets, definitely will buy this set.
12$ for a good set. That is great. Thanks for the review.

$12 that is nuts! that's a everyone should have set
By sounds like some 120 sets do you mean simgot em6l? I'm very curious what it similar to
Tuning looks very good for a budget set. Great value
I got it, it's really good budget iem
Thanks for the video, works well with all my music preferrences.
Thank you for reviewing such affordable stuff!
Easy buy for sure, thanks for putting this out!
Great review I actually bought this IEM because Paul was talking it up and for 12 dollars why not.
Watching these videos makes me want to critically listen. Sadly, I've been sick and my hearing is less than stellar.
Imma bag this sett sounds convincing
Nice! Keep them coming ❤
Ballin' on a budget!

Could this be the set that many of us needed? Even if it may has some limitations, it looks great for its price!
I guess this will be top on value for a budget set in terms of tuning
Thanks for the reviews 😊👍
I’d love to see a teardown. I wonder if it’s mostly driver or packaging/dampening that helped achieve that level of performance at this price.
Justifying yet another budget IEM purchase with your recommendation despite promising myself no more sets this year.
Great to hear about good tuning at a budget price but always worry about QC. I got a set of QKZ+HBB with such a bad channel imbalance they can’t be used. Too bad because the one that works sounds sweet. Hope people get a working set at this price. Thanks for the review. Peace.
Wow I didn't know this IEM.
Might be something good to give as gifts to friends.
Another great one. My pocket can’t handle anymore!
3:10 end users is the end goal here 🔥
Another budget banger. Gotta love that
Chris what i felt sonion is a bit more refined and smooth and it works like its not trying effortlessly where as knowles are bit edgy sharp so maybe
😮
Very cheap to be compared to more expensive sets. Love it when this happens, chance to get a glimpse of what more expensive sets can do on the cheap. Nice review. 👍
I wonder if this one is better than the Simgot EW200.
The budget market going even wilder
imma check this thing out immediately
Thank you for the review
If you live in China, you can get this for 40 yuan, shipping included, which is 5.5 usd. Totally insane.
Thank you for the video. I am going to buy a set for one of my buddies.
holly crap that freq graph looks impressive for $12
Looks like another budget set for my collection.
