The first product by VTing, as far as I know, looks very impressive externally. The sound? Meh. It's mediocre at best. As compared to other popular dual micro-driver earphones: VJJB V1 have better mids and highs, LKER i1 have better sound in all aspects, and Somic V4 clearly win this battle with their smooth sound.

Comfort & Fit
Theu fit pretty good overall, but their unique shape might be a problem for some. I had a bit of a difficulty fitting them properly. I always had the feeling that they don't seal entirely.
Lows / Bass
The bass response isn't the best. It lacks impact and depth, and pretty slow as well. Wasn't too impressed with these.
Mids / Vocals
Pretty nice mids, but also suffer from the coloration in the highs, and lack depth as the result of weak lows. They are mainly flat and not very interesting.
Highs / Treble
Colored and inaccurate. Not the worst I've heard, but also far from the best. The highs are mainly dark and off-tone. Reminds me those distorted highs of an old radio player.
