As far as I can tell, the JiES X6 is an IEM that is sold to other companies that then brand and sell them rather than sold directly to consumers. I can only find JiES on lightinthebox for $8.99; I bought them from a company named Vivreal on Amazon, who charge $13.99 for these IEMs.
Packaging and Accessories
Vivreal's packaging for the X6 is pretty bare, even by budget IEM standards. The X6 come in a large drawstring bag - too big to fit easily into a pocket - which also contains a user manual and extra ear tips.
The X6 is built surprisingly well. The cord is a rubberized coating over a braided cable both above and below the Y-shaped connector. The coating means that the cord is very strong and can handle a lot of bending and wear and tear but tangles very easily. The cord on the right side has an in-line button as well as a microphone. The 3.5mm jack is set in a hard plastic coating that has good strain relief directly below it.
Additionally, I don't know if this is specific to the X6s that I have or not but the cord smells distinctly like perfume, which I appreciate.
Fit and Isolation
I wear almost all of my IEMs over-ear, which these are built for. However, the fit of the X6 is awkward, making it sit on my ear rather than in it and making it impossible to get a good seal. They move around when I move and I have to constantly push them back into my ears so they don't fall out. Additionally, because it's impossible to get a good seal, they have horrible isolation.
Sound
These have possibly the worst sound I've ever heard. It's distant, muffled, and blanketed. There's almost no soundstage and it's impossible to distinguish between parts. I've bought a few pairs of $5 IEMs off the street and these are still worse.
Final Thoughts
These might be the worst IEMs I've ever used. The sound is frankly horrible and it's impossible to get a good seal with these. These aren't worth their asking price and aren't worth paying for at all. Avoid these at all costs.
