Rillpac Store.
 
Hope this will be of help.

Someone was recommending them from a seller that was called Miss Shirley or something similar, any feedback on this one?

I don't know whether any of the AliExpress Stores will be able to accept PayPal - but some of the vendors who have separate web sites, like Penon Audio [ http://penonaudio.com/ ] do list PayPal as a payment option.

Aliexpress has their own Alipay system and does not accept paypal, if a vendor offers you to buy it from the Aliexpress site but pay them through paypal would sound fishy to me, trust me there are some seller in Aliexpress that are not to be trusted.
Despite all this, I have bought hundreds of products at Aliexpress putting always put my credit card info and never ever had a security issue, the right amount of money was always taken from my card too.
 
Penon has opened their store on ebay too, so you can go through paypal + ebay if you prefer it. I ordered from them through ebay in december, everything went well.

Hey, how long was the transit time when you ordered from Penon audio? I ordered some earphones from their website and the tracking information says that they were shipped on March 16 and that the headphones are on their way from Hong Kong to the US. But there were no more updates to the tracking information since then.

I ordered mine through their ebay store and to be honest they took a lot to arrive, 2 months till i got them... i could had started a dispute through ebay or paypal but as most people say they are honest a trustful sellers I just waited and finally they arrived. But 2 months time is like buying from Aliexpress.

Thank you! Yes, I heard how they are very genuine and trustful, so I shouldn't worry. I guess I have to be more patient

I ordered from the Miss Shirley store and i own them.

Sound wise they are in my opinion spectacular. They remind me of the KZ ATE in terms of sound signature except better in almost every regard.

Construction wise, the cable is very thin and seems very fragile, i doubt they will hold up for as long as my other earphones. Also if you are interested in aftermarket tips you need to get very thin ones because the nozzle is much thinner than other earphones i own though they do have a nice feature which is that they are adjustable.

They are very small and go flush against your head meaning you can use headgear or a helmet with them on without any discomfort. I heavily recommend them!

The good thing with them is that you do not worry about them shipping fake earphones, at least so far I have never heard from anybody informing they got a fake unit from penon.
About waiting time, unfortunately I think you can do nothing else than wait and hope mail services take less time for lunch.

I love the sound signature of my KZ ZS3 but find them to be bulky when I try to sleep with them. I am trying to find an earphone with a similar sound signature (good punchy bass and midrange, smooth treble and not bright, etc.) but in a smaller housing. 

Till now I came across Joyroom JR-E103 and 

USAMS Tenna (HSTL), both of which are very difficult to find (Joyroom JR-E103 is available on ebay for $16, while Tenna is not). I am also curious about Urban Funs and ​

[COLOR=333333]VJJB-K4. Do any of these fit my requirements?[/COLOR]

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

[COLOR=333333]Thank you.[/COLOR]

Joyroom jer 109 or Rock zicron are said to be close to sound of the ZS3. Great BASS on both. They are both on gearbest and ebay.

So you can confirm that Miss Shirley store sells original Vivo's?
To which earphones would you compare them regarding their fragility?

Hard to say because they haven't failed on me yet even though i don't treat them as well as i could. I use them often while riding my motorcycle under a helmet.

They seem similar in quality, at least the wire, as a sub $10 Sony earphone but the wire has less memory and tangled up much less.

Oh, I see... pretty basic cable then. 
Still have not feel totally convinced about getting the VIVO XE800, will think about it

Thanks for the info, these iem's are not for audiophiles & those who listen analytically, they are fun & have an abundance of bass with a 3d spherical feeling, not for everyone i do like them even with the soft smoothened highs.
