I just received mine this afternoon.
I got the black box one and the wire appears pretty good. Accessories are well packaged and the box is really nice.
From initial testing, rather than saying the mid is recessed or missing, I think it is more of the high being a little bit more emphasized and extended. Vocal appear to have very good airiness. Bass is there and it is quick, but it will definitely be lacking if you have always had iem that have goobs of bass.
I think it will go well with foam tips, rather sony hybrid or other silicon tips. From my limited experience, foam tip seems to make the sound darker, in fact too dark if your iem is well balanced in the first place. I am going to try some other foam tip for such.
Soundstaging is decent, width is good. However, I honestly think that it might require a decent source to really sound it is best.
Wear and fit SUCKS. I have never had so much trouble fitting on a pair of iem. With the silicon tips, it was constantly popping loose every other min. Perhaps it is because I have small ear holes. BTW, I typically use small size for sony hybrids. With the comply, I have no issue with it coming loose and losing seal. IMHO, the casing extends out too long such that all the weight is outside of the ear, making it prone to coming loose if the seal is not tight enough.
For USD95, I think it is absolutely a steal. However, if we are talking about paying normal retail...I honestly think it is not worth it leh.
