Thanks.

...........Seems no one has brought this low end item but I still want to write something for anyone who might be thinking about spending on this budget item.

Eventually I brought the BEAM 2 instead of the 2ES and I only listened and compared the two before paying for it. Reasons are below:-

1.  I don't need the gain control in 2SE; though the high gain output in 2SE seems higher than 2 which only has one level of output;

2.  Currently I don't own any balanced cable, still I think I would someday, so 2 with 2.5 balance out would be an obvious choice;

3.  2 has Dual OP AMP Chips while 2SE has only one, so why not.

Mine could be a more updated version with only two cables and an adaptor for standard USB (instead of three cables) fitted in a transparent plastic box.

Overall impression, the first thing I noticed is that it offers much substantial power particularly in the bass range. However, it is not that kind of boom sound effect. It has substance and power. Everything has expanded in a good way from high to low to separation.  There is huge differences when I tune on the internal Dolby Atmos and UHQA in my mobile. Serious listeners might think the above "MSGs" are rubbish but indeed changing cable to ear tips are MSG in a broader sense. Making good use of MSG and let you control what makes you happy are the keys.

Conclusion, the effect is far more instant and impressive than spending the same money for a cable personally I believe.

Few issues:

1. It heats up but within tolerable level, I kinda like the feeling that it delivers a "warmer" sound;

2, Heat for sure is converted from the battery of your mobile;

3.  Mine sometime has some "hum " noise when not playing from the left channel.  Someone told me that it could be due to the grounding of the c cable but the unit could be defective as well. I will sure try it in different units (PC and mobile) before I take it back for an exchange.

Pros:
solid build and good looking. More than enough power.
Very pleasant tuning, slightly V-sharp from my subjective audition. Sound stage is wide, trebles are grand and well extended, bass are powerful.

Cons:
Cables are cheap and not durable
Pop sound when insert into phone
Frequently not recognized by i-device, Android is better
Hot

any hum noise?

me 2 ...."Pop" sound when insert into phone, so I first connect the DAC to the phone then the IEM, fear of burning the units in the IEM

My friends also owned L&P W2, they have below comments when compared to beam series:

W2 is tuned more neutrally, less MSG in your words, thus less catchy  
Power sounds similar (didn’t look into spec)
EQ/earphone profile of W2 are not necessary, who will use?
W2 paired better with I-device
W2 is bulky, beam is just right in size

    Do you refer to background noise ?
From experience of my friends and myself,  Beam 2 does not produce large background noise, but it’s not dead silent.
Which iem are you using?

seikomatic

no "hum".......electrical noise.

I recall reading comment about this from some reviews regarding the possible ground loop but I can't retrieve the page no more.

another wild guess is that could the cable serve as an antenna and pick up some signal when being near of some strong magnetic apparatus?

I’m sorry that’s beyond my knowledge.
But I didn’t hear any noticeable noise from my beam2

Finally, I went to the shop, asked for an exchange and they said little and let me had another new. Then 5 minutes later,  while I was still in the shop to test it out, it just stopped functioning.....

The salesman then recommended me to choose another brand instead while I wasn't prepared and did no homework...

He then brought this to me and I asked about the spec differences, he replied not much.
I tried to gogo the brand and you know exactly what they said in all those reviews.  

Then I have this..
