I got those NiceHCK Traceless buds with the mic, the mic is way too low though. It sits at like stomach level compared to the B40 where it's at your neck. They sound pretty good though but that big MX500 shell is only for limited listening to me. For office usage, I'll stick to either the B40 or...

I haven't bought any buds in a while and I guess the sale is a good time to. Looking for these two: Anything with a similar fit to Qian39s but different sound? Anything with a decent quality mic for office work? I'm currently using I think B40's with a mic.

Any new budget bargains come out in the last half-year? I've tried so many over the ears but the comfort and solid sound quality of Qian39s still have them on top for me, gonna just order 3 more pairs and call it a day for the next while most likely.

Just checking in to see if any recent earbuds have come in with the same shell as the Qian39s/Monk Lites recently. Also should've ordered extra pairs of Qian39s the price has gone up a bit (or the shipping did in one case).

I got my ShoonTH ESEP-01BL finally, just burning them in now. They do sound decent out of the box but they're too big for me to really enjoy. In fairness, the description did say large diameter so I should've read rather than going blindly off recommendations. Anyways, they have a good sound but...

I ended up buying the Pizen because I was looking for something that had the same shell as a Shure SE215 because I know it isolates well which is what I wanted since I only wear them on the train. Not great....the isolation is a bit of an improvement on my KZ ZSN so they have that going but...

I'm not sure if I've imported these correctly but on PeaceEQ, the last handful of frequencies are not changing at all on either neutral or bass version, I've tried both. Image below.

Looking to try out PeaceEQ files for any of the following earbuds if someone can post them if they have a summary link, I already got the one for the NiceHCK B40: Qian 39 & 69 Edifier H180 or P190 Yincrow X6 KBear Stellar Vido regular Shoonth $25 one

My DIY PK2 16 ohms from Chitty's store have developed a rattle on one side after an year and a half of owning them while rotating with other earbuds. The Yuin PK2 shells I had strangely also developed this exact rattle in one year after an ear though not to the same extent. Are these basically...

I bought the Shoonth earlier and also gonna order a couple MX500 shell buds (Yincrow X6 and KBear Stellar which are sold at the same store and are supposed to have a non-fatiguing sound, I never wear any MX500 shell bud for long anyways). I think that'll be it for me for this year, just gonna...

Are there any Youtube tutorials or something on what is needed to do a measurement? I have a Qian69 and 39 I'd really be curious having it done for but I have no idea how, I have PeaceEQ/APO installed.

I'm looking at the **** store and you can get the Yincrow X6 + DIY Vido + KBEAR Stellar for less than $20 COMBINED. They're all that boring MX500 shell but that's still pretty good value. I'm of the belief that the best earbud is completely dependent on your ears and listening habits in this...

I wouldn't call it bassy but it does sound better now. Vocals sound better and everything is a bit clearer. What's the reasoning behind turning the pre-amp down to -15?

I'm gonna try installing that Sam L and applying to my B40s, I had Viper4Windows previously but it no longer seems to be working with Windows 10. I'm also hopeless and confused at EQs and stuff so it's nice to just have a visual I can copy. edit: Tried it, too much treble.

Do you need a mic? I think the VE Monk Lite 40 ohm comes with a mic'd version and it's not the absolute best for music but very comfortable shell though you have to buy it from their website I think because the mic version is not on AE. If you don't need a mic then the Qian39 is cheap, has...

I finally came across another PK shell earbud that's under $50...Willsound PK32 for $43. I was actually looking up the Willsound earbuds which you guys are always recommending but decided against one because I didn't wanna spend more than $20 on an MX500 shell bud since I know I won't use it...

This doesn't really answer the question I initially asked on the last page about Auglamour RX-1s or similar buds but I'll give these a try, they look intriguing.

Auglamour RX-1s still a good option for non-fatiguing buds or is there something with better value nowadays? They're $23 from the Penon Audio store.

After a couple weeks of listening to the Qian69s, I can say that I understand why they're highly rated but maybe they aren't the right one for me, I prefer a strong emphasis on the vocals since I listen mostly to just indie/alt/pop rock. Probably why I prefer the Qian39s, I've been enjoying the...

There used to be a very popular Fengru Silver didn't there? I think it's this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32687542028.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.18973c006XU2PJ&mp=1

I was thinking of trying another cheapo MX500 shell since the Vidos are the only ones I have, are the Faaeal Snow Lotus 64 ohms a good choice? I don't have any 64 ohm buds so that's why those intrigued me. Also, anyone tried these Openeart Metal earbuds before? Any thoughts...

Interesting, didn't know the Sennheiser MX375s (or an imitation using the same shell) were listed on Ali. $17 on sale isn't bad either, though I would think there are better earbuds even in that price range nowadays...

Any good double-flange tips on sale? I bought a spinfit one an year ago but don't like those ones because the flanges are sorta wide apart if that makes any sense so they don't help much with isolation. I'm talking about ones that look closer to this (but maybe better quality)...

The Ali store selling those Pizen's doesn't seem the most reputable so I'm wondering if there's any other similarly-priced IEMs using that Sure SE125 shell which provides good comfort/isolation, otherwise I'll take the risk and order the Pizen's. I saw an Audiosense one which was like $200 on Ali.

Looking to upgrade on my ZSN Pro with something which will provide better isolation. Don't care too much about sound as long as it isn't too bass or too treble-heavy as these are just for the commute but I need better isolation since ZSN Pros are quite big and I don't have big ears so it's...
