:joy: not really expecting anything fancy at this price for sure. haha. if anything this cable is within expectations, but would be nice if the cable was better for sure. The Iris Ancestor is cheaper and has a thicker, longer, and nicer feeling cable. i think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sums up my thoughts on...

MX500 shells, noodly thin cable like the Traceless/Vido. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just wonder if it's going to be a new shell or just a coloured mx500 shell. I had no plans to buy or try any more earphones, but it's cheap enough that I just ordered one anyway just for fun. 😂

new budget earbuds from nicehck in the form of lucky bag again. haven't seen any photos other than these teasers though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004083704394.html

:beerchug:

i think only the X70 Pro+ with CS43131 like the X60 Pro+. This screenshot is from their x70 launch event. But it has very very limited availability outside of China, and doesn't have a built in 3.5mm jack, so you need a passive usb-c to 3.5mm adapter.

without EQ i'll probably take the ZEX Pro too, over CRA and DQ6S. Overall pretty much just the slightly more 3k energy and less 8k peak for my ears. Though i have to mention too that my first ZEX Pro and the CRN branded one I got later sounding slightly different with the first one being more...

i'm using these from a physical store near me. though they have a store on shopee SG too. not sure where else to buy them. I like how they stack together which makes them easier to grab for me instead of having multiple smaller ones. Though these are not air tight or what though, so if humidity...

will be interesting to hear how it stacks up against the HZSound Bell Rhyme too since price seems kinda in the same ball park. Oh, and there is the smabat svara 1 that is around that price too i think. Seems like quite a few new stuff in this price range. :joy:

they are in the form of lucky bag now. supposedly original retail price is 27USD, but going for 17 now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003788871058.html

unfortunately have not tried the faaeal datura pro before. :joy:

after spending more time with them, i think eb2s are a nice step up from the ME80. It's like a slightly warmer, smoother, fuller sounding ME80, but with better technical performance. really liking them so far. i think might be an easier rec for me over the LBBS actually. LBBS is great for female...

Some quick photos of the EB2S. Haven't had much time with them yet (construction going on around me so can't use them much anyway), but quick impressions are that nothing seems too off or weird. Sounds a bit like a fuller and smoother version of the ME80 maybe? Will need more time for sure...

A friend of mine got the CRN after testing my ZEX Pro, and he thought it sounded more V-shaped than he recalled. We met up to compare, and I thought the CRN sounded like it had more bass and treble, and the ZEX Pro sounded more balanced. The song i tested it with that day, fleetwood mac's...

It's about 13.5cm. :thumbsup:
