Earbuds Round-Up

  @vapman is a diehard basshead and is quite proficient with EQ, so can certainly give you some advice.  From the ones on your list that I've heard, I which would be everything but the Pai Audio, SeaHF and the assorted Sony, Panasonic & Apple, the one with the most satisfying bass for me would be the Edifier.  It's vocals hold up nicely against bass boost, where others like the Awei ES10 can have decent bass but sounds muddy.
 
I'll have to give the Qian39 a try as well.

I just listened again using AG RX1. It picks up some details in the Porter Robinson song better than Monk/TY32; like the symphony effect playing in the background when it's not doing its crazy repeats. RX1 obviously does not have enough bass. But @haiku and @Willber have been raving about the 1More EO320 earbuds as "AG RX1 with bass". The EO320 seem like a good fit; having better details and strong bass at the same time.

 
 
Good beginners eq: leave everything flat, and boost 200hz and lower by about 4db or more. You probably can't break 7db or 8db without starting to get clipping.

You should be happy with the qian39, has better bass than the original monk even. Seems everyone who picked one up so far thinks its pretty good.

also tried the eq thing
sound quite recessed?? but good bass
je ne sais pas de quoi je parle

mints vous preferez de parlais français?

Anyways

I put a koss volume control cable on my qian39 and did cotton mod, just for fun/longer cable/volume control is nice when watching movies...





Taking apart the first time is a pain cause they are snap shut but also glued...

It seems like Nachash is looking for something that is good at detail and instrument separation in a way that is similar to K701, and his own suggestion was Ting and HP650. Ting is great. Very musical but not the best detail or instrument separation. Myself I'm looking forward to hearing HP650...

I've thrown two of the hot names around, since they will be cheaper on 11.11.
But I'm open to suggestions ofc
   
VX Pro is something I am considering.
Can you talk a bit about what you liked and disliked about it, in relation to the type of music you listen to?
From what I have read about it, I had thought it was a more refined version of Auglamour RX1 with a bigger presentation.
I would definitely appreciate your input about the VX Pro. Thanks.
 
PS: I think you should also keep the new **** PT15 earbuds on your radar. As "detail & separation" pretty much describes ****'s signature sound for their IEM products. Only one person has received PT15 so far, so the reviews should be trickling in over the next week or so.

I've never owned the VX pro, I said that it isn't for me anymore because as you said only one person bought it and I prefer not to buy blindly
  All sellers on AE are gouging on prices before the 11.11 sale. The prices on 11.11 are what they were last week except for very few earbuds. You get a better discount when you ask the seller.


Yes and no, some prices are lower. Some are the same, to be sure though you can always use something like http://www.chnprice.com/ which is something like camelcamelcamel but for ali

Listening with the EO320 to Neil Young´s "Live Rust" in 24/192, you know what High Res Audio is really all about. Every Song´s giving me goose bumps. Total enjoyment, total satisfaction. Guys, what a great hooby we have....

just found an article on the most widely distributed sony earbuds in Australia, the sony MDR-E9LP

only mids and a bit of treble
 

 
the review also doesn't look too good either, 
 
 
tried to look up sennheiser mx170, but the site didn't mention it, however, there were a lot of other sennheiser earbud review, including the mx985, mx365  and mx400

sad day, didn't want to admit it for a few days but I think my shozy cygus earbuds are faulty, the left earbud is definitely louder than the right, making even mono seem off center.
 
I sent a message to penonaudio, I'll wait for a reply
 
Hopefully, this isn't a common problem, I haven't read anybody else having a similar problem with cygnus

@ClieOS
(or anybody who know's the M2C's well)
 
My Blox M2C's just broke (cable got stiff and snapped). I really liked the way they sounded. Which earbuds you think have a similar sound to them, up to 50$?
 
Thanks!

Welcome to the club mate. One month ago I have faced the same problem despite my Cygnus being less than 6 month old. Penon fixed it for me
