Aren't those are 2.5mm? This looks like a 3.5mm. However, the connector has to be skinny to fit in the hole.- wastan

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
Just got mine too. While the packaging is simple, it isn't tacky; personally I like this minimalist style. The included case is nice. Comes with medium generic tips installed and a large pair as extras. The cable is fabric on the bottom and rubbery plastic after the splitter. The silver back of...- wastan

You've had a lot of KZ so I'd suggest you try the EMI C1880 or the Urbanfun hybrid- wastan

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
The listing for the black iem under blumuze doesn't refer to hybrid. Look at the two. The shells are completely different. The barrel of the black one isn't straight on like the silver. There's no guarantee these are even made by the same company let alone have the same components. i know they...- wastan

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
Blumuze is the Amazon seller i bought from but those were the legit EM-I. I seriously doubt those black earphones are the same; the description doesn't even say hybrid. If you want an Amazon link, these have the proper look albeit more expensive...- wastan

That's it. My mistake B03 is the AGPtEK name. My impressions are here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-ruizu-x02-dap-thread.744865/page-26#post-12264533- wastan

The Bluetooth implementation on this is reportedly the same as in the K8 which is just... unfortunate. You loose access to playlists and other menus under Bluetooth and have to enter a separate music selection menu.- wastan

There is also the Ruizu B03 that I've found sounds much better than the X02 and on par with the Benjie models. I forget the AGpTEK version name.- wastan

Benjie Offical Thread
I've got no experience with that brand. This uses a Rockchip NanoC. The Benjies K9, S5 are based on Action 2127s. I think ONN and NEWSMMY use the nano c in some models. The HiFi button has me a bit curious. I'd ask some specific questions about bluetooth functionality before buying.- wastan

The K3 Pro is definitely worth the money. You can find more detail on the KZ thread for the ZS5 and ZS6. You can pick up the ZS5 for under $20 and the ZS6 for about $30 on occasional sale at gearbest.- wastan

Don't be too sure. I've got a v1 and recently got a second ZS5. From the sound, I assumed it was a v2. Nope. looking down the barrel there's only one BA. Ultimately I'll get the courage to dissect and see if anything explains the different sounds (different BA in the barrel etc.).- wastan

This is a Benjie K8. The K8 is called an upgrade version of the K9. The K8 has no speaker and includes a remedial but functioning implementation of Bluetooth. The K8 is lighter and has a plastic back and the front is touch surface rather than physical buttons. The K8 has dedicated volume...- wastan

Have you tried rotating them slightly one you think you have them in? They seem to fit only a precise way and if you try to force it any other way it's very uncomfortable.- wastan
