Astell&Kern T9ie 入耳式耳機 [展示機]

I was a bit nervous buying a demo unit, but the only sign of use is a tiny scuff on the earpiece — the sound quality is crisp and the cable feels sturdy. For the price, getting this level of clarity and detail in the mids is a steal.

The soundstage is surprisingly wide for earphones this compact, and even as a demo unit the cable showed no wear after a week of use. The only sign it's used is a faint scratch near the logo, but the audio quality is flawless.

For a demo unit, these are in surprisingly good shape—the cable's still intact, the housing's clean, and the sound signature really shines on vocal-heavy tracks. The only scuff is on the metal shell, barely noticeable once they're in my ears. Glad I took the chance on the discounted price.
