It's also an option and the built in clip is better than the clip option for the fiio but it's also the most expensive here IIRC. Shipped probably around $150CAD compared to 99 for the fiio.

I feel like the age of this device is a bit of a turnoff but I'm still interested as I want a device like this solely to pair with my phone and make using wired options more convenient when outside. Was thinking the Fiio BTR3K, but again since portability is my main desire, this is maybe more...

As someone who finds MX500 quite uncomfortable, I'm interested in these. Do I just message RikudouGoku to get on a waitlist 🫣

Anything new using the Qian39 / VE Zen LL shell? I think my DQSM Panda PK2s just died, and while I love that shell a lot, I was thinking I might like my Monk Lite shells a bit more. Have been tempted by the Zen LL for years but I dunno about the 100 dollars.

Borderline shocked there actually is something lol. Will have to look up reviews.

Anything new with a shozy / yuin shell :thinking: Also someone sell me their Zen Lites

Can anyone identify this? It's Japanese not Chinese but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks! Also I guess even if the drain was a bit more than negligible, using a BT receiver would free up the single port on my phone to connect a mobile battery to.

This question isn't specific to the ES100 but is there a significant battery drain difference between using a phone directly vs. using Bluetooth and a receiver? Maybe a dumb question but I don't really ever use BT devices.

:thinking:

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f308040179 pricey Also someone buy this. For me. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/diy-PK1-earphone-original-driver-150ohms-red-film-bass-pluggable-MMCX-female-seat-8-share-7N/32950062232.html

There's the answer I was looking for. Thanks.

Actually I want to run a browser specifically to listen to an internet radio website because there is only an iOS app for said service. Watch CPU or not, I assume a single chrome tab running background audio wouldn't be overly taxing. Your reply also didn't really answer the sideload APK...

Is there a way to sideload any app or will only those whitelisted work? Specifically wondering about a browser.

I feel like the options in general might be limited so sig is irrelevant I guess. Not muddy like Tenmak Pro but bassyish. Already own a triple ba with the nicehck dt300 but looking for a DD-based pair to compliment.

Any suggestions for something under $50 on 11.11 that is either a DD or hybrid + is "bean" or Shure shaped? Wondering if there is anything besides the [banned seller] 'Bellsing' model.

I'm too poor! And after the "depth" size comparisons a few pages back I was looking forward to the Svaras. Only bud I was interested in for 11.11 actually (unless some random good looking diy pk shell goes on sale)

No Svara L sale for 11.11 yet. EBX is like 50% off though :thinking: Incoming replies about how the MX500 is the peak of humanity's achievement when it comes to earbud shells.

Nice cable. Did anyone win a Penon BS1

Will try to stop by. Should be the last Headphone Festival at Nakano Sun Plaza too since IIRC it's getting demolished in November, so people should try to go if they can!

"titanium crystal" :thinking:

Going to pass on buying anything until 11.11 and hopefully the Svaras are on sale.

Maybe make a new thread? This is 500 posts long and I'm not sure if anyone is looking for recommendations from the 2016 posts.

Thanks! Looks like they would be great for me. Diameter is whatever but the thinness of the in ear part looks good. Hard to say with certainty but I'm much more willing to buy those now.

Thanks! This shot is the most promising in terms of it possibly being in the pk shell realm of comfort for me.
