Stock or not?

I got definitely better bass and not so much bright highs due to smaller out-hole. It really works.

Try T100 and you see (hear) the difference )

Guys, what about https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-Super-bass-Stereo-HIFI-Earphone-ATH-CKS1100-Dual-Driver-Dynamic-headset-For-iphone-HTC-Samsung/32723952620.html?spm=2114.13010308.0.0.siKm6P ? Anyone tried this or similar? Fake ones or like CKR9LTD?

ATH-AD1000x + Cambridge Audio Dacmagic plus. Also ATH-EM9d are good

I would choose ckr9 or even ckr9ltd

For $30 i got today "used like new" ATH-EM9d 

jant71, what do you think, is it worth to upgrade CKR 9/10/LTD to CKS1100 for 200+$?
