Just receive a new earbuds that people rave about here and it's for a very good reason.

DIY MX500 are the real earbud deal right now, and my new favorite (by far if I take price value).

Soundstage is immense and immersive, instruments separation is incredible, high quite extended and detailed but not harsh, warm bass that dig deep and they are easy to drive too!

MUST Have IMO.
Can you share the link where you purchased DIY MX500?

Ak Audio got them and other seller too....for about 10$, wich is an absurd price for such a good sound, don't mean this sound as high end 100-200$ earbud (don't have listen to such price range in earbud anyway) but it is a warm large sounding soundsignature with good bass amount, very pleasing to listen and quite evolving and well calibrate. Impossible to be disappointed by these at this price is what I would say.

Thanks for the link. By the way, how is this compared with VE Monk Plus?

Having spent the last few days listening to some absolute dross (Einsear Cut, Bro, Vots J1 etc.) I've spent this evening listening to the EMI CI880 - I got these for £20 from Amazon.co.uk - I think I now prefer these to the ZS5.

They're more comfortable, have slightly less bass, which I prefer, and better clarity. The ZS5s may have slightly wider soundstage but these are more suited to my listening preference.

I fully agree. I'm undecided about whether I like them better than the ZS5s though but they're both in the same ball park.

My daughter has stolen them off me though.

Glad you're enjoying the CI880 :)
