Thanks guys, I'll check them both. Edit: I like the looks of the Kbear Rhyme, so I am getting that one. Thanks again! Edit2: I already ordered but made the mistake of buying from a banned seller. The seller's name seemed familiar and there were lots of feedback so didn't have any second...

Hi guys! I was trying to figure things out myself by reading older posts but it just gets more confusing so I'll just ask for your recommendation. I have the ToneKing TO200 and I need a replacement cable. 1. What's the best bang-for-buck cable? 2. Which is the cheapest that you can still...

A couple of weeks after seeing this, my LCD started to get bonkers. It got white lines and edges, washed out colors, and random touchscreen inputs after being unlocked. A few minutes on mid to high brightness it gets better with only the edges being washed out. Now I checked out the screen...

I am truly sorry for your loss... The knowledge that you and HungryPanda shared in this thread had been very helpful when I was looking for my earbud of choice. Sorry if this is too late of a reply. I just logged in after more than a year. Again, thank you very much and I will keep HungryPanda...

I came to this forum to get recommendation in 2018 and the RY4S was just picking up popularity. I got that and a ToneKing TO200 and I prefer the RY4S to this day. I don't know where it stands now in terms of popularity as I just logged in today after more than a year of absence but it looks like...

Thanks for sharing this! That repair did look easy. :)

Just an update on my TO200. The sound definitely did change, a lot actually. From being veiled at the beginning it is now very detailed and it requires very low volume on my LG V20, just 15 is enough for some songs despite the high impedance. By the way, thanks @HungryPanda for the...

I think I'll have to agree, the last iem I did this to didn't change at all.

I'm not a firm believer of the burn-in process but do it anyway. I just left my Toneking T0200 buds playing music on a Sony Walkman for about 48 hours, maybe a bit more. Looks like the sound did change. Initially, I decided to put doughnut foams as they seemed veiled but now I prefer regular...

Ok. I'll just put this back for burn-in. Thanks

@HungryPanda and @DBaldock9, do you guys listen to the Toneking T0200 directly from the V30 or through an amp? My unit sounds a bit veiled when used with the LG V20. Will burn-in change the SQ or do I need an amp for this buds? Thanks!

I just received my packages from AliExpress. :) RY4S and Toneking T0200 are here. Tried them out quickly without foams. The RY4S hype is real. Amazing sound for the price. It is brighter than the Toneking. I think I want another one as spare. Thanks for the recommendation!

Just a quick question guys, when you are talking MX500 and PK2 you are mostly referring to the size of the shell for ear fit right? MX500 is from Sennheiser and is the larger of the two? PK2 is from Yuin?

I look forward to getting them! :) I don't have anything with that impedance and I want to test my LG V20 so its a good chance.

Well... Thanks for the advise. Curiosity got the better of me. Hehe The damage from the TO200 is not too bad so...

Ow... You should have replied sooner. I already clicked the pay button! Haha I'm too weak...

Really? I know you have EB2, RY4S and TO200. :) So I should just save the money for something better?

Thanks! Toneking added to candidates. :)

Hi! I was sent here from the IEM thread and started reading your recommendations. It's already 3:30am on my part of the world and after reading comments trying to decide what to buy, I realized that you guys are a bunch of enablers. haha I got so confused, you're buying everything! Anyway looks...

Thanks for the pointers guys, it was really helpful. I've searched that thread and I now have 8 buds in my aliexpress cart. Seems like I need to learn the "language" in order to properly buy the recommended earbuds. Mk1, Mk2, Pk2, Pk3, Pk3s, Pk32, EMX500, ****, Fengru, NiceHCK, DIY... gotta...

Just a quick bump on my question. :) What would you guys recommend for a neutral sounding IEM with a big soundstage? The KZ ATE has been popping up for the soundstage I'd like to hear your thoughts, would you agree? Do you have other suggestions? Thanks!

Hi guys! I've been reading the past few hundred posts and trying to gauge whether these iems are for me. I still have a bunch of unused earphones that came with my phones and I wouldn't really want to add more but your praises for these budget IEMs is enticing. I'm using an LG V20 right now. I...

@TJ yeah, I checked the spec sheet yesterday after reading all those High Impedance comments. :) My Koss was an impulse buy so I didn't really check anything online before making the purchase.

I have been puzzled about the normal and high impedance modes being discussed here and other sites since I have only been seeing high impedance mode when I'm using my V20. I didn't know that the Koss Porta Pro can trigger that mode coz I don't think my other phones and mp3 player had any problem...

  UPDATE: My brother has been using his pair of hybrids regularly and I had the opportunity to try them out again. It still doesn't sound like the one I have. I'm no longer expecting any improvement for his pair. This concludes my updates on this iem.
