Till now I came across Joyroom JR-E103 and 

USAMS Tenna (HSTL), both of which are very difficult to find​

 

Are there any other recommendations in the <$25 range? ​

 
Thank you.

 
Ah, the elusive Tenna ... I spent a better part of last summer hunting them down, ending up at a supplier at Taobao (I  think) who was willing to sell, depending on how many thousand pieces I needed Sounded like he is about to turn on the assembly line again. 
 
As for sleep phones ... I jumped the gun and ordered these guys to the tune of 36$, you can find them under "Light 5mm Mini Dynamic Super Bass HIFI Sleeping", looks even smaller than the before mentioned MusicMaker TW1, the reviews on Ali are good so far. I am still waiting for them to arrive (and then me get to my mail receiving address, which will be in June

  Off-topic question: Is it safe to order stuff from Ali Express? I am a little hesitant as this website doesn't accept PayPal. Is it possible to request a seller on Ali Express to accept PayPal?

So far I only had one hiccup with Aliexpress. But not on the payment side. Their system showed something had been delivered (which clearly was not true, as it was then delivered 2 weeks later, but they asked me to prove that I did not receive it ... how am I supposed to prove that? Photo of empty door step? ) 
 
They make you jump actually through a bunch of hoops to get an address verified, it 'feels' quite safe .. and then again, it is a bit of a gamble, but heck, at those cheap prices  
 
Aliexpress is a very dangerous rabbit hole to crawl down into ...  I ended up with way too many 5$ IEMs

  ... or note you're from Head-fi. Lots of sellers seems to give discounts for that. Never tried it myself though, so ymmv.

I wonder if that works on sellers that have been banned here   Like those 'easy' people

My first experience with AE was good. Seller answered my inquiries very fast, in most cases, within 39 minutes.

I now ordered 2 more so let's see what happens next.

Have you tried the other ones? Such as HLSX 808 and BK50s?

I also bought the AK Light (2016) Earphones (32Ω, 90dB/mW, 12Hz-24KHz, Metal housing, 1x Dynamic, Tethered cable [$36.34]) last Fall.
 
They sound pretty good, and have a small housing, but a large diameter nozzle, which keeps them from being inserted very deeply in my ears (and with the included tips, they wouldn't stay in my ears while laying down).  I found some good quality silicone ear tips from Penon Audio, which fit the larger nozzles - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-Pairs-S-M-L-High-Quality-Silicone-Eartips-for-Inner-ear-Earphones/32670205604.html - and keep them in place.  While they stay in-place now, the large diameter nozzle still isn't very comfortable in my ears when I'm laying down.
 
The MEMT X5 has a housing that's nearly as small, and has a smaller nozzle.  The included ear tips don't seal all that well for me, but with some replacement tips [  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D4F3WXK/ ], they're comfortable, and sound great.

I wouldn't restrict yourself to dual drivers, some single drivers are as good or better than the hybrids IMO

The SOMiC V4 is a really nice dual dynamic driver earphone that meets all your criteria except maybe isolation. It's about average for a dynamic driver based earphone but can be improved slightly with over-ear wear or foam tips. Gearbest seems to offer the best prices (that's why I bought mine there).

Ali Express is very similar to Ebay/Paypal in terms of consumer protection. If you buy from a seller and you aren't happy with a purchase they will often try to negotiate with you because, just like on Ebay, giving the purchase a bad ranking can be very damaging to their business.
 
I recently had to use/test Ali Express' user protection because one of the products I ordered was ending it's protection period, a period in which, Ali Express takes responsibility for and will step in to resolve any issues that a consumer may have. My issue was simple, the protection period was ending and I hadn't received the product yet nor had it even reached my country. I asked if they could extend the shipping period which I believe automatically extends Aliexpress' protection period, but they told me to just wait and that it would arrive. I said this wasn't satisfactory, declined their proposal, Aliexpress stepped in after a few days, examined the case, I only had to post a picture of the tracking and offered me a full refund.
 
This, and a comply earphone tip that were sent in the wrong color are the worst things that ever happened to me on Aliexpress so for now I can say that I'm satisfied with the site.

With Ali it seems like most feedback never actually shows up, a seller has to give you feedback for it to show. So if you open a dispute then the seller knows not to give you feedback to avoid get a bad rap themselves. In the last month alone I've had about 15 disputes, all being found in my favour but not without a lot of work on my part. Each item is a different dispute as well.
 
Go into it expecting problems that way you're presently surprised when it goes smoothly.
 
<edit> 13 in 6 weeks with another to be opened tomorrow

[sathish007ece]

whats ur thought on new mi pro hd 2+1 model(2016 november)

My tennmak pros suddenly died on me. the left earbud stopped working. At first, I thought it was a cable issue but after switching cables it seems that the earbud is the one with the problem. Should I buy the new tennmaks( one with the braided cable)? i did like the sound and isolation it offered me. Or can you guys recommend other options as well?
