Earbuds Round-Up
May 2, 2016 at 11:24 AM Post #4,322 of 75,440
While it's by no means optimal, I really do appreciate that the Rose Mojito is enjoyable from a simple Clip+. I'll probably be typically running it from an xDuoo X3 or Mojo, but just for simple portability the fact that the Clip can do just fine makes me happy. Also, I should see how the Mojito likes the Kogan.

  I have the  "  qian 39 High Quality Headphones Earbud  " which is a more treble orientated bud in the same price range. For the price, I found it to represent excellent value for money, possessing a high level of detail retrieval  and a good soundstage. On the other hand they lacked bass; but this was acknowledged in the seller's product description - so that was fine.

It is the ideal sound signature for me (high detail, clear sound). I guess that Qian 25 is bass oriented and Qian 39 is treble oriented. Have I understood correctly? :)

Any good places for the Mojito other than aliexpress? They won't sell to my state

It's quite low resistance, 16 ohms or something? i had no issues driving it with my Xduoo. Glad you're enjoying it though.
 
@Raketen Have you tried taobao?

Revisitin my Mrice E100´s:
 
I changed to slightly thicker donut foams and fiddled all night with the fitment until it finally clicked me: i got the best sound when the cable points behind the head, not torwards where you are looking. Also running the cable behind the ear seems to f up the fitment. What an enlightment after year of owning these. I prefer the sound to Monks AND Tomahawks which both have larger soundstages but does not sound as "lifelike" and imaging as E100´s. Monks are here to stay but Tomahawks are slightly let down for the price, should sell them since ~10eur E100 beats em when fitted correctly. Any recommendations how the get best from the Tomahawks before I do that? Tried full foam + donut foam to tame the slightly shrill/grainy treble, was OK but resolution got little worse.

With a good amp the E100 is better than Tomahawk or Monk IMO.
 
I've been really enjoying the Sennheiser MX500 with thick red foams a lot lately BTW.... sounds a lot like the original monk but a bit darker and more bassy.

Yeah, I feel like I bought too much into Tomahawk hype. Monks are fine just because of the price. Do you rate Sennheiser MX500 better than E100 or sidegrade?

Was on vacation for a few days and took only the Monk Plus, Shozy Zero and MX500 with me. Used the Mx500 the most!

Baldoor/Mrice need urgently release a new earbud with a good quality control, something like E100 MK2, v2, E200, with original tunning. It's a shame they have been downgraded the E100 and now we can't talk about them, because it's impossible match the opinions with different pairs with different SS on market.
 
My old pair still my fav overall, but the new ones just sounds "ok".

  If anyone is interested Amazon has some MX985's listed(Prime). I just got my pair today. Spectacular.

Wow thanks for this. Sure they'll sell out super quick now that you posted this

Well now that everyone else who's owned a Mojito also owns the MX985 I guess I gotta buy the damn things. Unless they become my new #1, I'll probably pass em along shortly after getting to hear them for a bit.

Yes I think so; althoughI haven't tried the Quian 25.  Bear in mind the quian 39 is good for the price . If you're willing to pay AU $47 for the 2016 Go Pro Music Maker Ting  you'll certainly get a more refined and balanced earbud .
