Hi Gabsriel, these are IEMs not earbuds.
Wooops I'm sorry, so in my collection I have the modest **** PT15 I paid 8$, but I offered to my girlfriend a **** KP120 witch is a more refined version with protein membrane at around 25$.

Managed to snag a EP600, glad as it sounds similar to my dead EP630 :)

I can't find the Vido with a mic anymore. What kind of dirt-cheap/fair-quality earbuds with a mic would you suggest me? Preferably from aliexpress.

Edit: Anyone has any of these? Not sure if they'd be worth.

While a little more expensive than what you listed, I think the MS16 are a good choice. Aside from really good sq for the price, they come with a mic and volume controls.

Yes, the MS16 is a great choice. I cannot comment on the actual quality of the mic though because I do not use mics. The MS16 does not offer an option with no mic. Sounds great though.

Just how good are the MS16's? What's the sound signature? I keep reading somewhere else that they have a very large soundstage, is this true?

Just wondering if anyone would know what store would be the most reliable supplier of the red Vido on ae.com. Ordered some spare pairs from the same store I got my first pair from but they seems to have gone out of business :frowning2:

I don't think very many people use this thread because we also talk about budget earbuds (and others of all prices) in the main Earbuds Roundup thread. Most threads are very quiet right now though because of the virus shutting down a lot of the businesses in China for so long. It will take awhile to recover... maybe a really long time for some.

Check out the BK2. It used to be 50 bucks, but has been sub $30 nowadays, and there's an AE sale now just as well, I think I saw it at 20+ bucks during the sale.

Quite balanced tuning, detachable cables, good technicalities. It's actually my favourite bud.
