I have a pair of the Oasis 7, one meter, which I think is stunningly good, and a bargain at the asking price. Sure it's made in China, but that why it's not 3 times the price. Yes, IMHO, better than PBJ (which after looking at them I think they should cost $50 a pair and which are somewhat fragile because they have no strain relief- I say this from personal experience needing to resolder broken solder joints) and better than the Hero.
