If you look at the reviews, they usually go "x is good, y is bad" (e.g. lacking bass or whatever). Have any of you found a earphone that you consider pretty much perfect?

I was surprised that even after more than a decade, the price hasnt decreased at all (although many people are saying the new version of the pk2 sounds worse than the old one). Has anyone ever seen them go on sale? Ive been wanting to try the OK2 for ages but at that price point its out of...

Ive tried and liked the Yuin PK2 and Ksearphone LBBS. I was going to get another LBBS till i was told that Ksearphone has bad QC, so im wondering if there are any good alternatives you guys can recommend in the $50 USD range?

A few years back i bought one from a seller called Jietu : https://shopee.sg/Ksearphone-Bell-LB-3.5mm-Earphones-DJ-Bass-HIFI-Metal-Earphones-15mm-Dynamic-Control-Unit-Earbud-Headset-Flat-Earplugs-i.66630848.7763814482 The price is way lower than the lowest price on Aliexpress...by almost half...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, please let me know if this should go to another forum. I'm trying to compare the sound of two earphones but while i can hear the difference, i do not know how to describe the difference properly. Things like soundstage, treble, etc...I do not know...

I am currently using the yuin pk2s if that helps. The sound is amazing for the price but its an old model and im not sure if theres anything better in the price range these days. Edit : Seems like the VE Monk Plus is highly rated. Anyone have experience with these?

I have an old cowon X9 but the battery is failing and is not holding much charge these days. Im looking for a portable mp3 player that has good battery life...and cowon has historically had above average sound. Can anyone recommend a model?

Ive been using Yuin PK2s for practically forever and everytime i search for an alternative, it seems nobody has bothered to come out with any high end earbuds to compete with it. Are there any alternatives for it yet or does the pk1 and pk2 still pretty much dominate in the earbud category?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Douk-Audio-Hi-Res-DSD1796-XMOS-U8-Asynchronous-384K-32bit-USB-DAC-Headphone-Amp-/272277330954?   Found this, and supposedly it has better specs compared to the Fiio Q1 which uses the PCM5102. I'm not sure how to compare DAC specs though...here's a comparison ...

If i connect my earphones (yuin pk2s) to my laptop, i can hear static through them even though i am not playing any sounds. Im guessing its interference or something, would a DAC help? If yes, can anyone recommend a cheap ($50 or less preferably) DAC that will ship to Australia without insane...

Ive been wondering if a cheap DAC might be a good way to improve sound quality for my laptop, while still remaining light and portable.   Did a ebay searcha nd saw a number of cheap USB ones :  ...

So i just got a new pair of earphones but i noticed that theres a very noticeable static noise coming from the earphones that i can hear when i have them in my ear, but not playing music, etc.   If i unplug the earphones but leave them in my ear, the noise dissapears. The same if i mute the...

I purchased a pair of DIY PK3s from dasetn last year and was initially impressed with the sound quality which i thought was at least as good as the original Yuins, if not better. I thought they were great value, but they failed after a few months and i messaged dasetn asking about repair options...

You know in reviews, when people talk about sound stage, highs, mids, etc?   Can someone explain what these terms mean and how to relate them to the sound i am hearing?

Obviously if it's cold, it goes into a jacket pocket.   What if it's hot, and you can't wear a jacket?   I used to put it in a jeans pocket, but the tight fit meant that the plug kept getting bent when i sat down, or crouched down to tie my shoe laces.   Where do you guys put it?

I was wondering how they compared to factory stock?

Every now and then, my earphones get damaged due to accidents...just often enough to be really annoying, and usually after the warranty is over.   Common sympton : loss of sound in one or both sides.   Example of an accident : MP3 player falls to the floor, gets stopped by the earphone...

I'm looking for someone to help resolder my yuin pk2s to a new plug (right side has no sound). Can anyone forum members here do such a repair? I would be willing to pay postage both ways and for your time. I'm located in Sydney, Australia.   I know a small store in Singapore that does it for...

Left side of PK2s failing again, just need to find someone who can help to solder the cable to a new plug...but i'm now in australia and i don't know anyone who can do that.   Does anyone know of someone who does do these kind of repairs? Doesn't have to be in Australia, because i can ship...

I just did a google search for "best earbuds" to see if i could find any recent articles doing comparisons, but kept finding lists of in-ears being referred to as "earbuds".   Why?   Here's an example ...

Or are there any alternative choices yet?   PK2s failing again, and i'm not sure if i can find anyone in australia who can fix them (just need to re-solder the cable to a new plug).   Wanted to try the blox m2c, but i've been waiting for more than a year and they never seem to have any...

I tried asking in the thread itself, but got no replies...

Any Australians here can give some advice on buying earphones here? I don't want to walk into the typical electronics shop and get ripped off on some crap earphones, as what usually happens when people do that...   The cables on my yuin pk2 just got sliced in half by....SOMETHING...(i have...

I want to try doing an interest check for a group buy. The group buy forum says to pm jude. I pm jude, no response for about a week. I start a interest check thread in the group buy forum and it gets deleted, still no pms from jude or whoever deleted my thread.   So what am i supposed to do?

Picture is the right side of a pair of Yuin PK2s. The cover kept popping out, and i noticed the right side sounded significantly softer than the left (even when i put the right earbud in my left ear). I sent it back for repair, and the seller replied saying that it is normal for the cover to be...
