I think the thick full-foam works for me than double donut-full foam. Double donut-full foam I will only use for bright sounding and bass-lacking earbud.

Having been 2 weeks of using K's LBBS, I'm totally satisfied. At last, I think I found my end-game for low-fi earbud (got them with 32$ through Shopee). Sound impression (with 1 layer of thick full-foam): nicely detailed and balanced sound, bass is enough, treble is extended, mid is not forward...

EA is rather balance with some warmth, extended bass. However the sound-stage is not wide, it makes more in-head feeling.

Received RY4S Blue cable HI and Yincrow RW-9. RY4S is very good for its price, a little bit dry/thin sound & aggressive & bright but lack of nothing. RW-9 is a Nuforce EDC in earbud shape. Really excellent performance for given price. Waiting for SL1.0+CE....

Hi guys, I am looking for 30$ earbud with balanced sound (a little bit elevated bass would be nice) and durability. I've been used EMX500 and the mid is lack of resolution/clarity & bass is a little bit higher quantity compared to my taste. The other buds I used is Faaeal Snow lotus 2.0, which...

Just received EMX500, must say that it's a great buy, solid all-rounded earbud. Just compared to Ixtin EV-2: EMX500 bass is bigger with more rumble, sound-stage is wider, just a little bit colder presentation, while Ixtin EV-2 is more mid-forward, clarity is better (in small margin), fuller...

Just receive Itxin EV-2 earbud (Korean) I must say that such a great earbud for price in budget-range (listed price is ~ 18$ in Korea, I got mine 9$) Just a few minutes of impression: a big sound, punchy, well-balanced and "enough" bass when using with full foam (Korean reviews were mostly done...

Small tip to get appropriate fit of RX-1: just use the black electric tape layers to make a ring instead of using rubber ring. Easy to adjust the thickness (by number of layers) and shape of the ring. After that, get full foam for RX-1 and a head-amp using high gain mode => enjoy the full sound...

Currently, I am using RX-1 with double foam (full foam + donut foam) => fit is better, bass get more power, brightness and forwardness of mid are reduced to be more balanced. And an amp is needed for RX-1 to shine.

I received RX-1 today, first impression is satisfied. Warm, rich, forward, not wide sound-stage, very similar with my "good" E100 and I don't think it has light bass, just right amount. I prefer it more than Tomahawk. Those who familiar with laid-back, relaxed sound may dislike them. 

I understand what AndroidVageta said, because I also have a "good" pair of E100. After having Tomahawk for several months, I still prefer my E100 than Tomahawk. Tomahawk has better treble extension and wider soundstage than my E100, but E100 provides a warmer, fuller, more cohesive sound with...

Shaking head every time I hear this masterpiece. A legendary classical song was covered in a symphony rock style.  Worth every seconds of your time. Believe me !  

I've already tried these two in earphoneshop (Seoul) last week. EN1 is balance between bass, mid, treble but totally lack sub-bass. EN2 adds a little bit sub-bass, higher refined and feel more relaxed as well as little bit wider in sound-stage than EN1. Just tried and haven't had time to compare...

Tomahawk is good in almost every aspect, you will hardly to find its weakness. It's an easy going earphone, not the best but enough for every type of music, it's kind of "plug and play" earbud.  

I tried this iem at Korea, almost balanced, a little high energetic than neutral, high detail, nice extension of FR, very good all-rounded earphone. Highly recommended for 100$, but for this price, just grab it !     

Double dynamic driver earbud ? like this design ? http://www.amazon.com/Fanny-Wang-FW-BUDS-BLK-Definition-Microphone/dp/B008LTBHY0

@music4mhell: I haven't heard MX985 or Zen or TM7, the only high-end earbud I heard is Ubiquo ES1103 Grandiose, which combine mid/treble of Tomahawk (with a little more impactful) + bass of my Baldoor E100 (a little lesser in quantity), which is 10/10 for me.    

@Danneq: I just received Tomahawk today. Need time to burn-in but first impression is very nice earbud, sound rather balance with "Hi-fi" taste. It makes me remember the sound-sign of the Ubiquo ES-1103 or ES-1003 series. Compare to the VE Monk that I gave my friend as gift: obvious better, more...

@ozkan: it's totally different by cases. I think there can be difference in Baldoor / Mrice and also the difference of production batches. My current best pair are Baldoor one, has fuller sound with deeper & more impact bass, more forward & mid, as well as more coherent sound. Recently, I...

Danneq Thank you so much for the detailed comparison. I just ordered the Tomahawk. According to your description, it can be suitable for me.

@Danneq: I just curious about the extension of bass on the Tomahawk. Could you compare the extension and amount of Tomahawk's bass to VE Monk ? I wanna get new earbud that has deeper bass and more energy, forward in mid-range than Monk with price of 50$. Thank you very much !  

@peter123: your E100 may be from the most recent generation, which was never on the same class with some first E100 generations. That was discussed in this review: http://www.head-fi.org/products/baldoor-earbell-e100/reviews/12705    

@peter123 : does your E100 have the word "Mrice" or "Baldoor" in the plug ? My E100 is the "Baldoor" one, and the bass is much more deeper and more impact than VE Monk. Treble and vocal is also more lively.   

@OopsWrongPlanet : I bought from a korean website http://item2.gmarket.co.kr/English/detailview/item.aspx?goodscode=526624092 @ozkan: I have 2 similar pairs with "BALDOOR" name in the black matte plug and one pair with "Mrice" name in the glossy black plug. One pair with "Baldoor" name sounds...
