Absolute best budget earbuds?
Here is my SHE3800 that I ordered from Fastech recently. Phillips is misspelled. Does anybody have a different SHE3800? These look different than Uncle @golov17- yabai

New- Zishan Z1 DSD player thread
Interesting. I have been using my Zishan Z1 as a USB DAC with my Thinkpad laptop. I have been very impressed with the quality. Yesterday I listened to a good number of Spotify (extreme quality) tracks and didn't notice anything overly negative. I'd like to try to my Etymotic ER4's to see if I...- yabai

Absolute best budget earbuds?
Are these branded Glycee or something like that? I bought a couple of these but thought they sounded kind of cheap. I opened one as carefully as possible but I damaged a driver and one ear no longer works. I have one more set...guess I should give them a try. It cracked me up to see the...- yabai

"Straight-style" canal IEM (like Shure E4C)
Etymotic ER4 seem to fit the profile but they are more than $70. How about the Etymotic MC5, H5 or ER7? It seems like these are all near your budget.- yabai

Absolute best budget earbuds?
Listening to the Awei ES10 and the TY Hi-Z 32 ohm. So far, I feel that the ES10 has slightly less bass than the TY Hi-Z and maybe a bit less sparkly than the TY. I also think the TY have more soundstage than the ES10. The cable quality of the Awei is thin, rubbery and light. I think the Awei...- yabai

How do you collect music?
I have been collecting music since I was a kid. I started with tapes, moved on to CDs. While the CD craze was going on, people started dumping records in mass as they transitioned to a new format. I took advantage of this and began collecting vinyl. I massed a large collection and gradually sold... -

I just received the Faael or Fareal 32 ohm buds in the mail. Wow...after using the Vido's and TY Hi-Z these buds sound anemic in the bass department. They definitely sound neutral to my ears.- yabai

Obscure Chinese DAPs
Here is the Benjie X1. I think it is a pretty sexy looking DAP and am surprised it hasn't received much love. Perhaps it has been overshadowed by the Benjie S5. Nonetheless, one can be had for around $25 on Aliexpress. I am very close to pulling the trigger on one. To be honest, I've just spent...- yabai
