First, as others have pointed out too, three months later I’m still struggling to find a tip which makes this work in my ears, but the sound out of these are THAT GOOD that I’m not returning them. They seem designed for small female ears. I hope this company comes out with a bigger pair for larger ears (I’m 6’6” tall). Also, there are almost NO reviews on the web for these, so I took a chance and have been overwhelmingly pleased. I really hope the company stays in business and keeps growing their line of products without a huge price increase. If you remember the Moondrop Arias and how they were priced WELL LESS than comparable IEM’s (which made them a staple in the community, still talked about today and compared to for budget IEMs) well these should also have the same reputation. They are priced WELL BELOW IEMs in the $150-$250 range, but sound the same if not better. They are basically the new Moondrop Aria; an IEM less than $100 with sound in the $200-$250ish range.Seriously Shanling, please keep up the great job and I look forward to see what’s next in the lineup. Hopefully something that fits in larger ears?!If you love CLEAN treble without loss of bass, these are your IEMs. Great soundstage for the price too. Instrument separation is great, and everything is crisp on both the upper and lower end of the sound spectrum.I love female vocals and crisp, clean treble. Mostly listen to electronic, classic rock (60’s-80’s), and new age.Sono’s Compared to the following IEMs:Moondrop Aria were my first iems and the only other ones I kept bedsides the Sonos I’m reviewing here in this review. Compared to the Sonos the Arias have punchier base but less soundstage and worse treble. I use the Aria for electronic tracks with mostly male vocals, rock, and the Sonos for electronic tracks with female vocals, harp, new age, and pop. Overall the Sonos sound better than the Moondrop Arias and if I had to pick one I would go with these (the Sonos).Truthear Crinacle Zero Red has WAY less base and slightly worse treble, slightly less soundstage. For $30 more I would get these Sono’s instead. I returned the truthears as they didn’t sound as good as the Sonos and were too big (yet felt cheaper than most iems)Tanguz Wan’er is not worth your time despite the good reviews unless you are on a very tight budget of less than $25 (in which case it IS your best bet). They sound ok (fantastic for the cost actually) but way less soundstage, less base, worse treble. Only for those on an extreme budget, if not save your money for the Sono’s. I returned these as well because they didn’t provide anything I didn’t already have with the Sonos and Moondrop Aria.Linsoul Kiwi Ears Cadenza I don’t remember much about accept I returned them in a day because they sounded worse than the Sono’s and Moondrop Aria.For reference:My setup includes a $300 Schiit Valhalla 2 Tube Amp, $400 Fiio Q15 and $650 Fiio M11 Plus, all daisy chained together.The M11 is a DAP with the same chip (and sound, I’ve tested and PROMPTLY returned) as the insanely overpriced $2500 Astell & Kern SP2000T and the Q15 is a solid state amplifier with the same chip as the astronomically overpriced $3200 Astell & Kern (which I have not tried). The reason for it being lesser of a price with an older chip is the M11 is a full android DAP and the Q15 is just a DAC/Amp. The new chip in the Q15 DOES sound better though so they work well paired together. If the M11 had the same chip as the Q15 is would be perfect as I don’t need the extra power to drive IEM’s which is all I use.

Es un buen producto calidad/precio. Buen sonido.

Hi, I am a little disappointed because I can't find the right eartips for my ears, and believe me I have a bunch of them.I ordered Dunu S&S eartips because apparently those are sealing the right way and have no los off sound quality.I have to wait at least 2 weeks to get them, so I can't define the sound at the moment. But from what I read from different reviews, you don't have to worry, and just buy them.They are small and beautifully designed.I simply love these.You all have a nice day.

I attached them to the A209 Bluetooth ear set and they kept falling off, detaching where the two pins are. I don’t like having to use the wires. I like wireless Bluetooth. Do you know of a different Bluetooth set up that would stay connected? I haven’t had any problems with any other monitor earbuds I have. It’s disappointing.

I fell in love with these earphones at the beggining because I have the Shanling M6Ultra Hi-Res player and both are the same brand. they are not comfortable at all. Just to plug them in the ears is a painfull experience...takes forever.Then after 15-20 minutes later they start to give you pressure inside the ears and outside with the wires running around the ears. Thought that they would be a nice replacement for my Sansa earphones, but luckily I still have them (the Sansa earphones) and will keep wearing them until they die...if they die. Shanling earphones designers...keep working on making these earphone more comfortable pleeease!

It is better than I expected, sounds the same as iems twice the price, the image and placement of instruments is very good.

Took a chance on this Shanling Sono and this one worked out well for me. The tuning filters are great as well. I did take out the filter sponges and put in some denser filter sponges. That took the edge off the treble. I’m using Azla Sednafit ear tips on them. I recommend them for the price.

Some fit issues but plenty of tips to choose from. Shanling does have plenty of impressive products, so I expect them to improve greatly over time. These iem’s weren’t overwhelmingly impressive, but definitely a step up from the original wired apple headphones
