Someone in this thread (I think), a few pages ago said "someone in my country bought many of them and sells them cheap, even cheaper than Ali, USD10 for 10 shipped". This is all the information I have

I don't agree that the SHE3800 has "good drivers", whatever that means. As someone mentioned, they are very "filigrane", very thin, very sensitive to touch. And the batch of SHE3800 with the misspelled "PHILPS" on the earbuds themselves has a habit to relatively easy dislodge the membrane and...

I didn't have problems with bass or sound in general with my fake fakes, the problem was they really didn't last very long, very sensitive if you by mistake have them on a tad too loud and then the membrane "jumps out" and they develop this horrible noise. (I have never have this happened with...

Did you rewire them? Anyway be careful, as said my two blew already and I didn't do anything really extraordinary with them. I also haven't seen any other picture where it was misspelled, you're the first besides my own. Interested to see what's your experience with them. PS: Re IEMs. I got my...

You shouldn't have ANY troubles finding something better, for a fraction of the price. $100 - you must be kidding, this would get you a life-time supply for yourself and your children and grandchildren :) But of course it depends on your sound preferences: Check VE Monk Plus ($5), from...

Yes it says "Philips" on the bag but definitely "PHILPS" on the buds themselves. I checked all my 4 buds. My foam inside was also glued on the shell, and not (as I see on other pics) on the back of the drivers. I really suspect there are several types out there, for some reason I got the "bad"...

My "Philips" SHE3800 from fasttech absolutely and undeniably say "PHILPS" (note the missing I) on the earbuds themselves, I just checked again with a loupe. I mean we all know these are not genuine, but I am just puzzled because pictures of these on the net all say "PHILIPS". Makes me wonder...

I use 5mm Nylon spiral "cable organizers" that you can get everywhere, mainly to protect ALL my wires, and in particular earbuds, from my cats. With these "organizers", you can also fold very long cables....or J-cables, and then just wrap the spiral around it...which could be an option for those...

Despite the Monks likely having better build quality than the SHEs, and the sound being more "open", I consider the SHEs simply more "fun" to listen to, especially if you like EDM or whatever music where you like some punch to the bass. Not that the Monks are "bad" in any way, but they're also...

Ok folks finally got my monks. While I think they are good, and definitely provide value for their costs (and, uhm, foams now for years with the Ex-Pack, I must have 50+ something foams now..lol), I think I'd slightly prefer the SH3800s, now speaking from my subjective sound preference. (I am a...

Well my first set of SHE3800 is busted, lasted about one week. :) I mistakenly had my PC on too loud today and this seemed to have "blown" the driver membrane out so it developed some horrible noise at low Hz. Tried to fix it, took driver out etc. but no dice. Using the other one now which I...

Re: Ozkan Mod for SH3800 again It's hard to see from the pictures in the original post, but it's possible that the tuning foam you had on yours (which is glued to the driver and not glued to the shell like with mine) is a thinner type of foam? The picture sort of seems suggesting this. Mine is...

Thanks, that makes sense!

Here my input about the "Ozkan Mod" with the SHE3800s. This is just my experience. * My SHE3800 had the "tuning foam" fixed to the housing, and not to the driver as in the original pic of the Ozkan mod. I got confused since I didn't see the logic in replacing the "tuning foam" with cotton...or...

Ok...confirmation that I am not the only one thinking the cables are just a tad too long. Yes they are.

Oh I totally forgot about the Ozkan mod! Have one spare SHE3800 which is waiting for it. (Just need to see where to get Blu Tack here in this small town.) Did you just rip some cotton off a Q-Tip or similar and then arranged it around the driver with pliers or something? Edit: The SHE3800 are...

Ok guys, just got my "Philips" SHE3800 from Fasttech, took long enough to ship. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEAR! These $3.21 things make even my old SONY MDR-E818 sound "bad" (which I otherwise considered "quite good"). I didn't even expect these buds come close to the SONY, but they beat it...

Currently I am using buds/plugs etc. mostly for VR, and I understand that some say they love how IEMs give "more immersion"...but I really can't stand the "feeling" of IEMs and actually love the openness of buds much better. The built-in headphones on the Oculus Rift (which unfortunately broke...

I could *possibly* use direct pay via bank transfer (which I hate since we don't have online banking, here in Spain when you're not an "official" resident you only get some weird bank account without it and without a card, I am hating our bank really..anyway...) and paypal would only be a matter...

Hey! Could someone help me? I really want to get 2x of these (Qian39) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-Original-QianYun-Qian39-Hifi-In-Ear-Earphone-3-5MM-High-Qaulity-Flat-Head-Earbuds-In/32750815405.html from aliexpress (total is €10,56), with the straight plugs. Unfortunately, they don't...

Hey guys! Upon reading lots of reviews and ordering the KZ EDR1 from DX (I am entirely new to those cheap IEMs), today they arrived. Obviously I didn't have time for break-in yet, but I think the EDR1s are "ok". I am pretty much a bass head tho. I am using the smallest rubber things that come...

I actually can't find their official Alibaba store, only what seems to be their official aliexpress store. (If there is actually a difference). There, however their buds are slighty "overpriced" as compared to many other sellers. Like on alibaba, when I do a search it comes up w/ a ****-ton of...

Hi guys, I am extremely new to these Chinese budget earphones, in fact I just heard yesterday about them and now spent quite some time on research. I am using buds mainly for listening to music and playing games on the PC, here I also use the EQ amp that came with my Soundblaster ZX. I don't...
