Is this the Vido earbuds people here been raving about?

If it's not. Can someone link me them. My Philips she3800 just died :frowning2:. I was planning to get another pair of Monk+ but I enjoy something warmer and bassier. So I thought I ought to try out this Vido.
Yeah, it is. Keep in mind that no mic version has J cable, right side has longer cable that goes behind your neck. Really not a fan of it, but it's 4$ and you can'y really complain.

Yes they are. Just buy Vido and never look back.

I don't like hyping gear.. unless it deserves it lol! I keep waiting to get bored of my vido's, but it ain't happening. Instead I continue to be very happy with them. Listening to some Steven Wilson's Regret #9 with the Vido's off of the $25 Walnut dap is VERY satisfying for me. Unreal how good stuff so cheap can sound!

Looking to replace some Samsung stock earbuds that came with a Note 5.

Looking for something that will sound better for less than $15

Have (awesome):
Vido $5

Getting (probably awesome):
DIY MX500 $10

Have (very good, and smaller housings so good for falling asleep with):
Qian39 $5

I would also recommend getting the Monk+ package of thin foams (many including myself prefer them over other foams).

So, any interesting deals so far people have found for the sale? The new Auglamour RX-1S is $22 which is a little tempting. I'm a little tempted to finally try the H185 for $8 too.

I prefer a bit more bass, and the vido's deliver that, which for me results in a more full bodied and satisfying sound. Having said that, the Monk+'s rock as well and I should have put them on my list.

Edit: btw, I think I fixed the links in my post.

So which of these budget earbuds you suggest for symphonic metal and rock music? I'm thinking of TY Hi-Z 32 or 150 ohm versions.

Personally I'd go for the Vido, Monk or Seahf 32 or Seahf 150. The latter two are similar to the TY variants but I much prefer them, as I don't like too much treble or peaks in upper mids. All the above sound good to me, and I'm partial to a bit of power/symphonic metal (Sonata Arctica, Rage, Helloween, Delain) and classic rock.

Thank you for answering. How would you compare Vido to Seahf:s?
