There was some hype among budget earphone enthusiasts about these earphones, so I had to see what the hype is all about. I still don't understand. Good looking earphones that sound below avarage. No detail precision at all. The vocals and highs are overemphasized and harsh, very painful to listen to.
NOTE: The filters included with KZ ED9 and Winintone RG-EB601 can also be used with these earphones for additional sound signatures.

The GR are quite heavy so even if you have well-fitting tips, they still might fall out. Also, they are long because of the filters, so they stick out of your ears.
With the black filters, the bass is actually pretty good, slighty punchy but nothing extraordinary. With the red filters, the bass is absent completely.
Loud but has no clarity. Inaccurate tone with a lot of sibilance with both filters, maybe slightly better with the [otherwise useless] red filters.
Can be painfully piercing with both filters but it's never accurate, not even close to being accurate. Very fatiguing.
