When did you place order and when did you receive it? I'm just gonna guess his side kept seeing the message didn't send so he kept trying to send it

Hopefully so, but I've gotten about 10 more message notifications since then
 
Order was placed on the 7th, promised it was shipped on the  was given to DHL express on the 15th, arrived on the 17th.
 
I know DHL express is supposed to take only 2 days but i mean..... it's kinda obvious express stuff isn't shipped when express tracking updates every possible interval...
 
Don't wanna derail the thread but would hate for other head-fiers to get stuck up in a bunch of angry messages. This is all because I rated the item 3 stars on Ali and gave it a 3 star review here.

Hi I bought joyroom 107, for around 13 dollars, and i bought twice but it just breaks too easily, the wiring is too thin, and broke within like 1 months, anyone got other earphones recommendation from 10~20 dollars.

That's normal shipping for AE. They mark as shipped to avoid any problems with a customer saying it hasn't been shipped, when in fact it hasn't but it looks like it has.

I've had mine for 6 months, never had an issue with them they seem very strong even though the cable is thin.
 
VJJB have a strong cable, but maybe upgrade to a earphone with replaceable cables might be an idea.

Anyone got any thoughts on the following players: -
 
* Newsmy G4
* Aigo 108
* Fiio X1
 
The above is in order of price, preference is for a decent user interface and compact size.

Just a bit over your budget, but much better then Joyroom - MusicMaker TW1

Penon accept PayPal too

 

[Lurk650]

Penon accept PayPal too

Im sure they don't have MM though

 

[crabdog]

Penon accept PayPal too

Ooh I wish you hadn't told me that. Makes it too easy to buy more iems  

 
Speaking of Penon, I think there was a mishap with my order. Ordered on the 18th and had no tracking until yesterday so I contacted them. They told me that it's normal for Singapore Post to be slow with tracking. Then mysteriously about an hour later I saw this  --> "2016-07-26 10:02 Received from Customer".
 
Looks to me like someone forgot to post it but at least they acted quickly after I messaged them.

For less then 20 USD I can recommend Xiaomi Hybrids. These are really great cheap portable earphones. I use them daily during my commuting.
The design, fit, durable cable and overall build quality is excellent. For the price the sound is very good too.
 
There is only one issue - you have to have a player with an equalizer because it is necessary to tune (decrese) mid-bass quantity. Because by default the Hybrids are boomy.
 
For example, with my xDuoo X2 which has very simple EQ (only like 5 presets)  I cannot tune the balanced sound. So I cannot use the Hybrids with the X2 player.
 
But with my smarphone HTC One (with Poweramp app)  I can equalize mid-bass exactly to my taste and the sound of Hybrids becomes very good - I like their nice subbass, good detail and soundstage (of course in their price category).

Well? Just pulled the trigger and ordered the REMAX RM-800MD hybrid! They are at a great price and coudn't pass on them! ....and they have a good reputation with solid construction on most of their earphones, for example; like the REMAX RM-600D, which I own and are extremely well made at its price point. They are going for 388 RMB ($58 US dollars).
