Absolute best budget earbuds?
Feb 4, 2017 at 4:38 AM Post #408 of 2,999
  How does the YINMAN Earphone 64 Ohm compare to Qian39 & TY32s ?

 
 
Any other budget Earpuds I should give it a try? So far I have the Following:
 
  1. Qian39 ~ Sounds good, Like the Bass but I feel like it doesn't have the clarity 
  2. TY32s ~ Don't like it very much, Fine it harsh to my Ear.
  3. Sony 808+ (Ordered)
  4. SHE3800 (Ordered)
  5. Monks+ (Ordered)

You can try K's 64ohm (white-cabled). It's close to Monk+'s sound signature, but with brighter sound and, IMHO, a more cohesive presentation.

I have the RY4S on order following a recommendation on the other earbuds thread, so I'll post with an update when it arrives. Gets good reviews on Ali as well.

Of the above, totally agree with you on the TY32S, and my go-to budget earbud is the Monk+

I'll probably get a smack for this, but for $15-$20 try the Koss KSC75 (not an earbud but very portable, comfortable and convenient).

Quick question, guys. After combing this thread I'm interested in ordering the Monk Plus, Hi-Z 32ohm, Qian39 and SHE3800 to play around. Before I do, though, would you say I should expect overall better sound from any of these than my EarPods? I know EarPods are not the best $30 earbuds but they are $30 earbuds.

I've heard earpods, and you're paying $20 extra for the Apple branding. I would consider them $10 headphones.

Monk Plus and Qian39 are lightyears beyond the earpods...and way cheaper. You can't go wrong with either, haven't heard the other ones you mentioned but from all reports they should also be way better. Out of the two I've heard I'd say go for qian39 if you want a bit more bass, and more fun overall, monk for more clarity.  I heard the Hi-Z 32 ohm are preferred by many over the monks.

I would add the Sony E808+ to that group for bass, soundstage and comfort. In fact I would put it on top, and for only $4.

One day you will try recabling E808+ and your mind is gonna be blown.
 
Only thing is have extras because the drivers are fragile and not affixed to the front shell, so be sure not to let the voice coil separate.

I'll have to give it a try some time.
