keephifiKZ Castor in Ear Monitor Headphones, 2PIN Detachable Cable Dual-Dynamic Driver Wired Earbuds, HiFi Improved Bass in-Ear Earphone Sound Tuning Noise Isolating IEM

A pair of IEMs at £17, these are never going to be good wash my thought when I got these, and I was right, they are amazing. Okay, there are a few imperfections but nothing that can't be solved easily.As with most IEMs, these come with a detachable cable, which does mean if you don't need the mic or just don't like the cable, you can switch it for another, which is fortunate because the cable is one of the things, I don't like. It works, but just feels like a let-down compared to the rest.Fit is reasonable, and sound quality is very much dependent on this being right, it comes with the usual supply of replacement silicone tips. I put the large on and find they are still slightly small. I think, I might try some foam tips instead.Sound is amazing, covering the full spectrum well, including sub bass. Sound on the whole is tight and detailed. On a few tracks, it did come across as slightly sibilant, but not much and not often. Overall, they punch way above their station on this front.

These earphones offer a pronounced bass response and a comfortable, secure fit with a well-sealed in-ear design. The cable, measuring just over one metre, may feel a bit short for some users, but it benefits from low microphonics and remains stable during movement, making it ideal for portable on the go listening.In terms of sound, the overall quality is respectable for the price. The treble could use more sparkle, and the midrange is typical of what you'd expect from entry-level in-ear monitors. The soundstage and separation was pretty good, especially at this price point. With a bit of EQ adjustment either boosting the treble or toning down the bass depending on your preference, you can achieve a more balanced, musical sound that enhances the listening experience.Although the package does not include a pouch or carrying case, which might be a downside for some, these earphones still represent good value. For listeners seeking a comfortable fit and a warm, bass-heavy sound signature with room for tonal tweaks, they’re definitely worth considering.
