Thanks, already have it though... and P180, P185 too...
Not completely budget, but anyone have experience with those 150ohm DIY PK1?

@Saoshyant Could you take this test with a mic and a non-mic Vido?

http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html

All 3 of mine yield a different result.

I seem to get the same results with or without mic. I don't perceive 30 Hz until -6 db or so, 16 kHz until -24 db and can hear no noticeable change on the rest of the spectrum. I haven't used a test like this before, so I left volume and standard listening volume for my setup.

The MMCX ones? If they're what I think you're referring to, I wasn't particularly impressed, and for the cost prefer DK-Song.

No, not that one, this one:

Hmm, could be interesting, but 150 ohm with mic could be challenging for some phones. At that price I'd be skeptical about PK1 drivers being used, so mosr likely just selling off a familiar name.

ic, I am so impressed with NiceHCK's PK2 I want to see if there are even better ones in similar budget

EMX500 is the best natural balance sound for me. If I try TP16 and NiceHCK's Pk2, do you think which one is better?

 

[knudsen]

I love EMX500 too and haven't heard the others. But my impression is that pk2 is more mid focused. On the other hand there is a review of EMX500 on Ali which compares to TP16:

Great sound out of the box! Clear treble and hard hitting bass. Their character is similar to the TP16 which are one of my favorites, these extend more both sides with more bass and the same Airy feel and the same holographic quality! These will only get better with more use, already the Soundstage has opened up considerably and the bass has become tighter. Very energetic sound especially for trance. Heard a few tracks of Vance Joy too and vocals sound great, very clear and emotive. These come in a nice box, build is solid and looks very aesthetic. Excellent synergy with the Walnut V2. Excellent first impressions, these sound very good and highly recommended. Will report back in a few more days. Seller is fantastic and shipped quickly! Excellent packaging too. Will buy again definitely!

It was mentioned in the other earbud thread, follow the steps below:

BUT you don't need to use a mobile device to order. I had not problem getting the discount using a workstation.

If you find out I´m all ears, I have the Vido and Qian 39 (I had Monks too but gave them away as soon as I heard the Vido) and the Qian suit my ears much better so I´m thinking of trying the PK2 but still on the fence, how do the PK2 compare to the Qian in your opinion?

 

[aleksanderp]

Qian 39 is the most comfortable, followed closely by PK2; I can't stand monk's shell btw. In terms of sound PK2 is very detailed without being too v-shaped. O, and the silver cable is lovely.

 

[tinkertailor]

Vido's are awesome. Listened to a few songs, great bass, warm sound. My first impression... I like them even more than emx500 and faaeal 32...but nothing conclusive. will post more later!

I think the Monk+ shell is a little too small for my ears.....but TY Hi-Z is just right.

Aren't they the exact same?

 

[Ver JJ]

Well sadly, my ear canals is a little bigger than average size......so yeah when I mount my Monk+ it will normally fall off my ears but the is not the case for TY HI-Z......no worries I guess genera consumer will not have this kind of problem.
