"The Massdrop x NuForce EDC ranks as the most carefully designed and ruggedly built budget in-ear reviewer Steven Stone has seen. Its light weight, compact casing, interchangeable cables, and slightly dark but full range sonics combine to make it his best-buy in-ear monitor - and TAS´ Earphone of the Year." - Steven Stone, The Absolute Sound (Ultimate Guide to Headphones and Personal Audio)

"...but what Massdrop and Nuforce has done here for this sound profile I am gonna recommend a solid purchase. These have IT. The one earphones you want to carry around every day." - Dsnuts, Head-Fi Contributor

"Significantly improved clarity and soundstage, comfort is better, and of course you get multiple detachable cables and a carrying case. So for the price, I'm going to say these are pretty solid IEMs." - DMS3 TV, YouTuber

"I can’t believe how far we’ve come. ... Today’s 99$ is literally head and shoulders and knees and toes above what was the tip top in 2002, even if, through Massdrop, today’s 99$ is actually 59$." - Nathan, Headfonia

"It excels in comfort and fit, as well as aesthetics. It also has one of the most pleasing and visceral bass presentations I've heard in its price bracket, as well as a full midrange though not too boosted in the presence region." - jjwfr, Massdrop community member
