Upon unboxing your new IEMs, you'll first lay your eyes on the beautiful green, sea-like shells and the durable carrying case. Cables are thick, durable, weighty, behave well and are unlikely to tangle up. Inside the case are a variety of silicone and foam tips.Tried them on to where, I ran into my first problem. These nozzles are massive. Well over 6.0mm. Its not the most comfortable for me. But i can imagine anyone with smaller ear canels will struggle for this one. Not only that, when I tried to remove the right ear tip. The ENTIRE metal nozzle assembly PULLED OFF due to a lack of adhesive. Which is a major concern for quality control issues. But we press forward.Sound-wise, the bass hits good. Very good. Your choice of rap alongside female vocals will do well here. But because the bass shelf isn't necessarily clean. There is a very slight mudiness in the lower mids which can affect the male vocals. But the treble still comes through and resolves the vocals well enough.Soundstage, it's a bit narrow for its price range. Listening to a few orchestra tracks the instruments feel a bit cramped compared to the competition. A deal breaker for me.In terms of value, there's better out there in the 189 to 229 price bracket. But if ur looking for an arguably large amount of bass, really like the design of these shells and don't mind the narrower soundstage. These are for you. But BE ABSOLUTELY SURE, to check for any discrepancies with your IEMs.

I can not get a fit hat will give me any bass. Tried all my silicon ear tips and only type that even came close being decent were foam tips. Even those did not give much bass. This the 1st IEM that I could not find a decent fit over 50+ pairs that I own and I tested with lot of ear tips.. Just does not fit for my ear.Ok after another 50hrs burn in and trying more tips like Render and flanged tips. They made no difference. No real base at all. almost like the base driver is not connected, Very disappointed. Since I am from Canada , this would be a hassle to return. Just a bad purchase for me.But again this is for me, your milage may be different. Just as perspective my ref IEMs are the Studio 4, Hype 4 , Meg5Eest and Reformer 8.UPDATED. After buying a lot of different ear tips, I finally found some that worked fore me. See attached picture. These formed a good seal and gave good bass. The best IEM I own, no but decent enough. so not a total waste of money. But it was a real chore trying to find the right tips that fit me.

Top notch sound, deal-breaking ear pressure. These iems have ineffective venting, which results in huge pressure build-up. This vacuum-like effect causes extreme nausea. You've been warned...

These IEMS have tremendous potential. Need to get more hours on them. The cable supplied was defective and caused my amp/dac to trigger thermal protection. Changed to other cables and problem disappeared. I'm sure Hifigo will remedy the situation. Love what I hear so far. Could be one of my favorite all-time iems.

They're beautiful with the abalone shell face. I see two reviews on Amazon before I write this one. One reviewer mentioned experiencing pressure on their ears, but I have not had that problem.One set of ear tips were installed and I started with that set. I was disappointed that the bass was poorly represented. I hope it's not a problem with the IEM. So let's try another tip. Because of the praise from another YouTube reviewer I ordered the wide bore velvet assorted tips. I sampled four of the five sizes but had the same problem as the original set I tried. I was getting concerned but kept trying. I opened the package that came with the Butterfly and selected the small size memory foam tips that are white. Eureka! What an awesome sound and balanced frequency response. The soundstage was incredible and imaging so wonderful. All thoughts of possibly returning these vanished and I'm in audio Bliss. The bass issue is now gone, the bass tight and fast.I am using the new Onix dongle DAC on my Samsung s23 Ultra. I'm a very happy user. I have no other IEM to compare with only Klipsch S4 earbuds. Also comparing with Sennheiser HD 580 and the new Fiio JT1 as my references.

The sound might fit most people but to me this sounds really congested.
