QKZ AK6 Spark HiFi Headphone, 11mm PET Composite Diaphragm Dynamic Earphone, 3.5mm in Ear Gift Earbuds, DJ Music Headset with Microphone (Pink wit...

I got these as an alternative to wearing headphones at my computer and they are quite solid. The sound quality is a little on the bass-heavy side of the things, but not too overwhelming like others. I can hear vocal sounds clearly and even using them while gaming has been a fun experience. The fit is okay, definitely better than my other earbuds, as these fit more flush to my ears. The silicone ends of assorted sizes give you a nice mix that should fit most people. Personally, I do prefer memory foam tips, as they are better at fitting extra snug and not allowing noise out, but fore the price I can;t complain about that. No joke, for under $20 these sound phenomenal. As for the mic, it's not very good, but passable for simply communication. I'm not worried too about that, as I use a stand alone microphone. You can get these without the mic if that's what'd you prefer. I would also prefer these without the little diamond things on the outside, a clean smooth finish would be nicer... the glam part just isn't my style. The cord is long enough for most in-car or at desk setups, but I use an extension so I have more room to move around while wearing them. The fit is comfortable, even for hours at a time, whereas my headphones would lead to random headaches, so that's an added bonus for someone in my position.

To start off this review, I'm not trying to step on anyone's feet, but honestly, take all of the reviews about IEMs in general with a grain of salt. And I'm not saying mine should be taken differently. Whether it's ZeeBooth or dedicated sites for reviewing, nearly all reviews are going to be swayed to the reviewer's preference on an emphasis of bass, treble, mids, or highs. They also will base the value of IEMs on the price on Aliexpress where it takes six weeks to be delivered. Some people want so much bass that it drowns everything else out. If a specific IEM doesn't do that, then they'll say it's just garbage, while other listening preferences might love the product. Then there's people that think that anything that's over a year old and doesn't have planar drivers is just worthless. Just get something that doesn't cost a lot and see if you like it. Me, personally, I like a neutral sound. I don't mind if the product came out in 2024 or 1983. If it performs well, then I'm fine with them. I daily drive Sony MDR-7506 headphones any time I don't need to use IEMs. The IEMs I had been using were the KZ ZSN Pro X's. These certainly feel flatter than the ZSN Pro X's, but not as much as the MDR-7506's. It's hard to compare headphones and IEMs together, so I'll just stick to IEMs from here on out. These seems to have a higher impedance or something than the ZSN Pro X's, as they need more gain to have the same volume. It's either that or they have way less treble, which might contribute to a flatter sound. They use the same QDC connector, so cables or wireless adapters like the KZ AZ09 are cross compatible. These have a much tighter connection, so they're not coming apart as easily like the ZSN Pro X's seem to enjoy doing. I didn't have much luck with the included ear tips. They're too thin and don't retain their shape, so I can't get a good seal. Good tips that create a seal aren't too expensive, but that may be something to consider if you don't have any spares. Everyone's ears are different, though, so these may work. I can't find these specific IEMs (QKZ AK6 Spark) with the jewels hot glued on them anywhere. These may just be some knockoff QKZ AK6's, but I think they're probably their own product. I'm not sure if the tuning is different, but everyone said the AK6 IEMs are tuned with a lot of bass. These IEMs certainly don't feel like they're tuned for lots of bass, so I'm not sure when these came into existence. They aren't lacking bass, but it doesn't just feel like an extremely large amount of it either. For the simple quality that these provide at a low price compared to something you'd find at a gas station or Dollar General, I'd easily give these a recommendation. You can't go wrong with these as starter IEMs, as the replaceable cable allows these to easily become TWS earbuds in the future. You can also replace the cable if it gets damaged.

I thought the rhinestones were lights and that's on me. They work pretty well, though.
