In my experience, it's not exactly a rare occurrence. I have multiple older pairs like the Shozy Cygnus and VE Zen 1 that show varying degrees of turning green.

Went ahead and ordered these. Been awhile since I've used Penon and considering the offer, it feels like a good choice.

Is there a second earbud going by Poseidon now, or did K's rename at some point? The original are TOTL earbuds that were around $500USD or so with silver shells and MMCX. Beautiful earbuds with a lovely sound.

Been a long time since I've really been around here. Any recommendations for a budget bassy earbud? Difficulty to drive is no issue.

It's most certainly been awhile since I've been around, and I'm glad to see Fiio has been making a push in this direction. When I saw the EM5 at a reasonable price I decided why not, which lead to me noticing these as well. Maybe I should try the FF3/5. As a long time earbud lover, I'm always...

Rose has a new earbud coming out? Might be time to buy a new earbud to try out after all this time

@Danneq @golov17 Good to see you both. Now I'm curious about the C Major.

I would feel a little more comfortable if the cable was detachable, especially given the modular nature of this cable. Assuming a decent warranty, I'm more curious about the sound as that would ultimately be the deciding factor for me.

Hmm, I'm quite curious myself, and there are certainly more expensive earbuds than $300, although only a handful.

Sadly I have never gotten the chance to try the SZ2K, but everything else I've tried with the micro BL has sounded wonderful. Certainly handles the ZMF Ori wonderfully, loving the bass on that combo.

I often to right red left blue for buds. I think the only notable exception is white right left grey for Poseidon

The Walnut has the same issue, as I have the Purpleheart version of it. Also, my Wicked Cushions showed up and that certainly improved comfort a bit for the M100. The stock cushions almost felt like I wasn't getting a proper seal but that feeling is gone. The bass is lovely!

It's good to see that the Turandot is doing so well lately as far as recommendations. I wouldn't mind giving it a try one day, but with everything I have it'd most likely end up being redundant.

Hmm, any idea how much the HA-SD7 goes for in Japan? Curious how bad the markup is to get it to the US.

Well, my pair of Blur seem to be having an issue at the jack. Shame as they have relatively low hours.
