I have all the full-size headphones and amps I need now. I've never been a massive fan of IEMs or earbuds, due to comfort issues, breakage/fragility, losing them, or lack of bass, or thin sound. Then again, I never invested in any high-end IEMs like Shure, let's say. I've got Hifimans, Fostex TRP40s, Sennheiser closed,and even a new pair of Pioneer DJ headphones that are great but not super comfy, alas. But why wouldI need more headphones or an IEM? I wasn't going to pull the trigger, no matter what. I'd love to hearsome electrostatic headphones, but I am not paying 2 grand for them.Then Zeos from YouTube was raving about these a few weeks ago,and I just went and hit purchase, no hesitation. I was confident they would sound amazing, if he was praising them, and lo and behold, they bleedin' well do. Oh, do they ever. And this resolves the question of why buy more headphones, because once you hear these, you'll realize why, and the answer is, now you own a pair of IEMs that cost under $70 that sound and perform like a premium $300 pair of headphones, if not better, and are totally portable, if you don't feel like lugging those giant AKGs, Audeze, or Fostex around all day long, as tempting as that might be.They sound like a compressed (I mean, focused and more intimate!) version of my Hifiman or Fostex's,with substantially better and deeper bass response than either. Soundstage is decent, if not massive. Detail/separation in both channels is excellent to REALLY excellent. Deep, and tight bass, Plus detailed warm mids, and crisp, rich highs, but not strident or annoying, or fatiguing, at all. The power and bass response these are capable of puts a lot of over the ear headphones to shame. I can only imagine what the higher end Linsouls sound like, T1s ,etc., as well. But, I'll take these! These also put to shame the wretched Audio-Wrecknica M50xs I made the mistake of buying a few months ago, and instantly returned to Guitar Center, after they nails on a blackboard high-end-ruined my ears and sanityafter a day or two of auditioning. Absolutely hideous plastic junk, those headphones. Unlistenable. Unless you like metallic, screechy mids and highs, and NO bass whatsoever. By contrast, I put the Linsouls on, and they sounded great right out of the box. This is very rare indeed.For the money spent, these are one of the biggest steals in the audio industry currently. Hands down.The comfort level is decent, for IEMs, depending on what caps you use. I guess the cable might do with someupgrading but I'm no going to bother, it's fine for me. You can if you want to. On my Creative Labs G6amp, you only have to crank the volume up to maybe 4-8 to be super loud on most sources. Listeningright now to Dave Brubeck's Take Five at maybe vol. 4 and it sounds unreal. I had to back off a bit on the bass and power on the G6, and tame these a bit, but they sound amazing at any level. Hardly any distortion that I can discern.Brushed metal alum. outside, transparent body on ear-side. Fit pretty snug and aren't too annoying,like many IEMs. I got the basic Silver and clear version, with mic (which I have almost no use for). Are theyas pretty as a Mondrian? No, but they look cool, so I don't know what people are bitching about. Cord seemspretty quality, and non-tangly or janky, and the connection posts seem solid thus far.Build quality overall seems quite good. But I would invest in a small case for these, as any IEMs are a bit fragile or given to catching, etc. They seem to be comfortable for listening at a few hours on end, if necessary, also a huge plus. Listening to tracks from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Bob Marley, Sisters of Mercy, and Steely Dan, lossless or otherwise, restored a lot of the bottom-end that is sometimes lacking on even my best mid-fi planar headphones. And I'd still go so far as to recommend the Linsouls for jazz, or classical as well. The warmth and detail is present enough for it. Outside noise isolation is quite good, for budget IEMs with no active NC.There's definitely something to be said for IEMs. Now I realize what the fuss is about, especially when they perform as well as these do, it's a totally different listening experience to the already wonderful Fostex or Hifiman over the ears, open or closed, plus these are 10000x more efficient than planar headphones. Also, if you demand really solid, deep and tight bass for the music you listen to, these are absolutely the IEMs for you. You will not experience bass responsewith the Fostex or Hifimans like this, I can assure you (unless you EQ and amp the piss out of them), though I love both of those headphones dearly. Yet it's not exaggerated, it's just there if you need it.For portable use and just plain music enjoyment, I cannot imagine spending $55 and getting anything much better than these Linsoul Pros. I also recently picked up a pair of cheap JBL $18 earbuds, they are darned good, a lot better than you would think, but still, nothing NEAR what these little bad boys are capable of delivering. These are on a whole different level. They sound stupendous. Through the Creative Labs G6 amp, these sound like a great pair of, perhaps, Klipsch or Paradigm bookshelf speakers, with a bit of extra "subwoofer" kick! I cannot recommend these more heartily. This is $55 very well spent for any audiophile on a budget, no question about it. And, you don't need to spend another $120 on a headphone amp to enjoy them, a nice bonus. Linsoul has hit it out of the park. The 5 microdrivers will decimate you! How they accomplished it, is not important. How stonking these sound and perform, is what's important. Buy them now. P.S. Question came in today about running with these: I haven't or walked that muchyet with these, but, I think they'd be ok for running or walking exercise outdoors, although totally wirelesssport earbuds might be better for real hardcore gym or exercise applications, like better XBass Sony wirelessgym earbuds, etc. Although the Linsouls seem to fit snug and stay in place well. But they are cabled, sothere's that to consider if you're going to use them for running. For a treadmill, I would say they'd be just fine.

Brother. These heads phones are a must have in gaming. I can hear footsteps a mile away. It's legit cheating in game. Very easy to set up. Will say it's hard to figure out how to connect them to wire but overall amazing. The mic is good but can be better. The cord was also long enough. Great for the price and very comfy for ears. Design is great.

I'm reviewing these before the 50-70 hour recommended burn in to overcome initial harshness. I can confirm there is harshness in the highs, but as someone that has spend hundreds of dollars in multi-driver IEMs from Shure and Westone, I'm just amazed at the sound quality of these, which I purchased at a 20% discount for only $39.98.The reason I purchased these was because the wired earplugs I initially purchased for my Quest 3 were so cheap that the cable broke inside. Otherwise, for music I'm mostly wireless now, and I'm happy with my Sennheiser Momentum 4 wireless headphones for walks, weightlifting and flights, the smaller earbud version, the Momentum True wireless 4 for stuff that's more active, and Yamaha studio headphones for sitting at PC or at keyboards.But after hearing these I'm considering what could I be missing with these new IEMs; if $40 bucks gives this quality, what could it do the top of the line from this brand. How could they possibly make this so inexpensive? If you are looking for wired IEMs, just hit the Buy Now button and thank me later; this is a Chinese product that really impresses.As for the sound: the EQ response depicted seems to be accurate; there is emphasis in the highs, some emphasis in the lows, and no emphasis in the mids. This works well for most music styles with small ensembles, such as pop, rock, jazz. As you add more instruments and you go to full 80 piece orchestra with choir, you miss the mids and wish they had a true flat EQ response to truly fool you into believing you are there in the concert hall. But I think these are not targeted for this market. Nonetheless, the instrument separation is great, the bass is tight and doesn't bleed, which tells me these people know what they are doing and there is quality in the product.I'll be following this brand with great interest
