My full English review of the HiFiMan RE800 went online earlier today (at 8:00 am CET): http://kopfhoerer-lounge.blogspot.com/2017/07/HiFiMan-RE800-Review.html#more

Hey guys, looking for decent compact over ear headphones. Looking for ones will be light and comfy to wear lying down in bed. I can't wear IEM's in bed they just aren't comfortable. I've had the koss ones too but again not too comfortable looking for something with a band. Wouldn't mind some chi-fi if there's good options. Budget is 50 usd.
Cheers

Memt x5 because it's small and damn good

"I can't wear IEM's in bed" so X5 is probably out.

I suggest Philips SHE4805. Only issue is they are over ears but probably not for the biggest ears if you have them. May be a bit cramped for larger ears.

KZ ZS5
KZ ZST
Xiaomi Pro HD

Thank you for your replies guys. I am owner of KZ ZST and they have almost no bass against the pistons. I prefer also more piston's construction and type of cable. So for the same reasons I will not go for KZ ZS5.
I red, that Pro HD's bass is not a best one, they are more bright than bass.

I got through the audiobudget.com and I chose these ones to be potentially appropriate according to my requirements:
MEMT X5
Boarseman KR25D
EINSEAR T2
ColYue E1
VJJB K4S
Joyroom JR-E109/EM202
Usams Tenna (HSTL)

So I will probably get through the individual topics of these and choose one. Do you have some experiences with these ones?

 

[Detectit]

Okay... So i have the KZ ZS3 and KZ ZS5 which I am very impressed with.

Nice crisp highs and punchy no overbloated bass like the ZS3. Off course also depends on what you are listening.
I have a wide taste of music

What Chinese IEM's can you guys recommend also?

I saw the Tennmak Pro for instance?

TY Hi-Z G3 - single driver dynamic with big soundstage

Was communicating with an Aliexpress store that was sold out on the above, asking when the new stock would come in.

They said that TY was revising its product, should see a new model in a month or so. Should be interesting if its an improvement, without too much an increase in price.

I've heard them all apart from the ColYue and Usams Tenna.

The T2 and X5 will suit your requirements. VJJB K4S aren't very good (grainy, too bassy but nice build quality) and are surpassed by X5 and T2. I didn't think much of the E109s either and that was 12 months ago and things have moved on a lot in that time.

The KR25D are more neutral earphones than T2, they have some bass but they're more about the mids/treble.

They were supposed to be out back in June, but as I understood it was just an 'aesthetic' change rather any change to the sound.

Tennmak Pro has too much mid bass for my tastes, check out the link in my signature for my recommendations a lot more info on there.

Thank you for your replies guys. I am owner of KZ ZST and they have almost no bass against the pistons.

This confuses me a bit because I have the ZS5, which is supposedly more neutral than the ZST, and they are not at all lacking in bass against the Pistons I've had. Maybe you're having the same issue I did with a source mismatch or lack of power?

The bass vent mod fixes it and takes 2 secs
