The listing is wrong, they have no active noise cancelation:

They are fine for the price, but I don’t like nondetachable cables
It says headphones, but they are actually earphones
I can’t for the life of me to find a frequency response graph. I can’t recommend buying anything without a measurement since you would be buying blind
Here is how you should look for earphones:
Buy something with a replaceable cable so it lasts longer. The cable usually breaks first and it’s the cheapest part.
You can buy DSP earphones with a replaceable cable, but I haven’t found anything cheap that sounds as good as the 3.5mm connection (which means the DSP sucks). So buy a dongle separately, like the Apple one or something of similar quality
Find the frequency response graph. You can see how your current equipment graphs and compare. You can even use an equalizer (in software) to adjust to what you’re buying
If you want my suggestion, buy CCA Trio and the Apple dongle. Although maybe it’s expensive after tariffs, lol
KZ Castor for a cheaper option
It’s basically just his opinion. He started three biggest database of measurements, but he’s not going them anymore so other reviewers have replaced him
Also I have heard the DSP version doesn’t have the best sound quality. I have another cheap pair of DSP IEMs and they sound better with 3.5mm (DSP adds ringing and noise artifacts)
I bought a standalone $13 USB DAC and it sounds perfect to me
Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before. Now we’re getting video gen like a few years later.
Let’s not forget we started by playing the game of Go better. My prediction as a hobby Go programmer (the game, not language) in 2015 would be that better than human AIs would be there by 2020 and they got there by 2016.
Before the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol people predicted the AI would just put up a decent fight since a previous version played questionably against a weaker player. It blew one of the best players ever out of the water, losing only one game of the series.
Future matches even against the world #1 with the better models showed it to be invincible against humans
You’re making the same mistake. You’re looking at the current capabilities and predicting a human speed of improvement. AI is improving faster.
You can try before you buy. You can use an equalizer to tune your current IEMs to the pair you’re buying
There’s a tool online you can use:
