  The Qian39 is the most comfortable earbud that I own. It is the closest thing to not wearing earbuds! 

I'm glad to hear a pair of Chinese ear buds sound as good as the hair cells in your ears. That sounds exciting! I look forward to getting my Q39's too.

 
Unfortunately the '39 is about 35% more expensive than the SHE3800 which I saw in your profile

. Sometimes you gotta splurge!

Lol. Yes. I think qian39 is the most comfortable earbud I ever own. I listen to qian a lot while working and when I wanna change songs it's the only time it reminds me I'm putting something in my ear.

I thought that until I got my first E808+
(YMMV, of course.

How many Hours Should I let the 808+ burn In for?

  How many Hours Should I let the 808+ burn In for?

About 3 days at moderate volume burn-in for it to reach a decent SQ, but there should still be some mid-bass hump & slightly grainy treble. But, after lengthy usage (I reckon over 200 hours), the grainy treble should disappear while the mid-bass will settle down. The overall sound will then become more balanced while retaining bass/treble extensions (possibly, even deeper bass).

A cheapo hack for an old TDK EB100 earbud with a $2 taobao cable.
Surgical taped (not glued) the front covers for easy tweaking during trial.
SQ improvement still puts it within mid-fi category. I think main culprit is driver limitation.
Will switch back to stock soon. The taobao cable, plug & splitter look nice though.

@golov17 I wonder if the same buds come with the K9.  I know that dap looked a little more promising to me than the S5, but no clue which one actually sounds better.

Do they come with all their DAPs? Don't mind getting decent earbuds that comes with good-value DAP.
I was disappointed with the free earbuds that came with my Hidizs AP60, I hope the Benjie's earbuds sound better to me.

With different Benjies daps and from different sellers are different earbuds with Benjie, these buds are the best

https://smile.amazon.com/BENJIE-S5-Lossless-Player-Recording/dp/B01KYYHM34/ should hopefully carry the same earbuds, albeit at a more expensive price but with prime shipping.

@golov17 Totally off topic, but considering I know you have a fairly sizable dap selection, how does the S5 perform for the price?  If the S5 is solid, some people might be more willing to give the earbuds a try.

These are really awesome! For the price (which is free!) i put them at the same level as the Monk+ (or maybe above the Monk+ as again, they are free!) when driven right. The bass presence, details in mids and upper and the depth of soundstage is no slouch. And the Y shape wire seperator is a nice touch too!
