We bought these IEMs because they were recommended by a band member and used widely by the performers in our group. I also purchased the Shure 225 IEMs which were over $100. After several hours of listening to both products, I can provide the following feedback:Ergonomics: The Shure 225s have foam tips as well as the rubber tips...this may be important if you are particularly concerned about noise isolation or like the feel of foam tips. Generally, the DCMEKA IEMs were more comfortable, particularly the over ear loops, which are a wire-reinforced design on the Shure's and very fiddly. The DCMEKA IEMs fit my daughters smaller ears better, and were more comfortable overall due to the smaller size of the earphone itself. Though the DCMEKA IEMs lacked foam tips, noise isolation was still very good and it was hard to hear external sounds with correctly fitted tips. DCMEKA wins the comfort category, and were much easier to fit to the ear due to the simple design of the ear loops.Construction: I give the edge to the Shure 225s in this category. The IEM housing, cable, and tips have a more solid feel and should last longer than the DCMEKA product. That said, the MMCX connectors on both products mean that the cables can be replaced or upgraded as needed.Engineering: Based on cost alone, you would expect the Shure product to outperform the DCMEKA device...this is not the case in most scenarios! The Shure product is a single dynamic driver design, while the low cost DCKEMA device has dual drivers. Cable quality of the Shure product is better, but the impact on sound quality was not apparent in my listening sessions. I didn't try to swap cables, but that might have been possible with the MMCX connectors. I have read anecdotally that the extended output tube length of the Shure product is a weak point, but did not experience any issues when switching tips.Listening impressions: I was really surprised how difficult it was to separate the sonic performance of the two products. The soundstage of the DCMEKA product was similar/as good as the Shure 225s, with great separation and good placement accuracy. The Shure 225s have perhaps a slightly more detailed mid to upper mid frequency response (this could be a result of the crossover design in the DCMEKA product) but the upper frequency response of the DCMEKA was equal to or similar to the Shure. In the low end frequency response, the DCMEKA is better...more extended bass, more bass presence, and the bigger bottom end opens up the overall soundstage vs. the Shure 225s. So, as with many things, it boils down to what you appreciate with respect to frequency response, and the type of listener you are. I would call this category a tie, which is a statement in itself.So to summarize, a $16 set of IEMs is better to or equal to a $100+ set of name brand IEMs, except possibly in the durability category. Considering that I can buy 5 sets of the DCMEKA IEMs for the same price as one set of Shure 225's, its an easy decision. Pretty much a no-brainer, but try for yourself!

These have been great for me so far. At first, I thought it came with extra ear pieces but they're actually different sizes! I swapped to the small ones and they were a perfect fit. I can hear things in my games that I've never heard before.

Fantastic sound quality for the price, not a lie, not even a fake review. There are pros and cons I’ll state, but immediate thoughts, price point and quality make it a GEM.Cons: I’ll list the bad parts first so you know I’m not baiting you, the wires are braided, but not in the neat, stuck together kinda way, they’re kinda just intertwined and you could unbraid the if you wanted.. but don’t. The ear pieces themselves can be detached via the little gold connector nubs, and once, ONLY ONCE, it shocked me, literally electric shocked me. Has not happened to me since and it freaks you out for sure, but 20$ is 20$ is twenty dollars and I’m not picky :) Also there’s no built in mic, because they aren’t really made for that.Pros: the sound quality is clean and crunchy in the best way, it’s pronounced, and above all I’ve been able to hear every channel, every track, every instrument in any song I listen to and any game I play. I played The last of us part 1 and 2 using these, and I heard things I had never even heard in my original play through with other headphones. It’s RIDICULOUS the quality of sound coming out of these headphones. THE BASS IS DEEP AND CLEAR, no distortions, nothing is amiss. I’ve never used high end headphones specifically for musical monitoring, but I have used other high end brands for various gaming and film audio related stuff, and these beat them out by a high margin by the price difference alone.Overall: If you have 20 bucks to throw down just for the hell of it and you don’t mind maybe getting an electric shock like maybe once the entire time you’ll own these, DO IT, you will not regret it, and if you’re not willing to spend 20$ you weren’t gonna spend anyway? Donate it, give it to your kids or something idk no one has any business leaving 20$ laying around if it’s not doing anyone any good. Make someone’s life better with that 20$, or these headphones.

I really, really like these monitors. The wood grain look is fantastic, and so is the stone look. As far as monitors go I'd say they're middle of the road, maybe a little bit better than that. I use them exclusively for playing on stage. I play both Rhythm and Lead guitar, as well as bass. They don't have the same frequency response as the shures or sennheisers I used to use, but for the price they are absolutely unbeatable. And it's great cuz if they get lost, damage, or stolen, I can replace these way easier than I can replace the other brands I've used. Looks, 10/10. Sound, 8/10. Durability, 8/10. Overall, 9/10. Value for price, 12/10.

I am a singer and a guitar player. I've been using these for 3 months, at least 3 times a week. No complaints. For the money I spent, I got a high quality product.

After only 33 days of use by my wife, a short has developed near the plug. Sound quality was really good until this happened. Compared to my KBear headphones, which still work perfectly, the quality of these have proven to be not as good.

Excellent audio quality
