Imo pretty good if you are looking for what they have to offer. still not fully burned in but what I could gather is that they sound quite different from other totl, They don't try to be all rounder. The quality of bass is sub par. However clarity and soundstage is truly impressive. Depends on the music you listen to but acoustic, jazz, classical, ambient is wow, clear and realistic. some genre like techno for example rely on bass and closed soundstage for example, you guessed it, sound just "ok".
other totl will make everything sounds very good. he also have better cable version one. The one I got is the cheapest but it's already pretty good. Also it's 300ohm.

@upsguys88 if price no constraint Cypherus does full custom unique earbuds from $500

Thoughts on an earbud $200 or less?

Just bought Svara, DIY PK2 which I will enjoy jokingly comparing to my old DIY PK2 I haven't listened to in years, as well as the Vido.

Did you get these? How do they sound?

 

[ozkan]

Nice! Is the Vido better than your modded Philips too?

Yes much better

Sorry to ask a cliché question but do you guys any recommendation for earbuds that is bright sounding, lack of bass and (cheap)?

Sry i havent been frequenting this thread. But u can try the K's 64ohm with silver cables. No bass and super bright.

As much as I want to buy all the TOTL earbuds, I only have budget for one. However, it's a tough choice between the following:

• CampFred
• Diomnes Lv2
• CAX Black

What do you guys think? If you only had enough money for one, which would you get?

I would see first if the bottom two are even available from their respective sellers. Otherwise jump on CampFred or wait for version 2.

You're right. I'm unsure about CAX Black, but for the other two I've reached out to the creators to confirm availability.

The prices and names are just for reference, of course there might be other options. I had never heard of them but yeah.......check them out......since they don't cost a lot......hopefully you can fill up your "collection" empty space.

Benjie and AKG looks good. Are they with Mic? Also, is world.tmall.com reliable and can ship to US also? How are these earbuds i terms of sound if you have used them before or know any review?

I have had the opposite experience. I bought a bunch of budget buds and they are all been either been ok (Yinman 64ohm and T-Music V2) or had a flaw I couldn't get over (T-Music V1, Monk +, Ty Hi-Z 32ohm) or just meh (SHE3800, Qian39). I recently got in the Yinman 150 ohm which I absolutely love and I think blows away all the budget buds I have tried. I have decided I am not going to buy any more budget buds.
