Yea the Sony sounds great but.... Its cheap and flimsy build is off putting and that cable is an issue. Hard for me to recommend to anyone. Probably the best sounding for most people tho.

You know, that's an interesting question. I have both the MH755 and original Y*nY*o V2 (1st tuning).
The MH755 is probably closer to the BL-03 in terms of tuning. Both are Harman-esque, I think, with the BL-03 being more towards the Oxygen I'm told. I compared the BL-03 with the MH755 directly, and they are both on that spectrum. Definitely the MH755 has a 'natural' tuning where instruments just sound right. Surprisingly, it also has decent isolation, if you can get a good seal. Those are its strengths. Because it's a little 'thin' sounding for me, even though the bass is decent. It's also prefers AMP/DAC/DAP setups, as it benefits from more power. It's gentle, and I can imagine myself using the MH755 at nighttime to go to sleep.
The Y*nY*o V2 is not Harman-tuned. This isn't a big deal for me, Harman is just one nice tuning among others. I would say the OG V2 took a 'neutral' tuning as a starting point, and then made it more 'musical.' It's basically a Tin Audio T2 tuning but they played with the shape a little to make it more fun. I used to take the V2 everywhere with me, because it's really easy to drive from a mobile device. It doesn't need power or amping.
Fit of the V2 isn't very problematic, but I found it an absolute necessity to use foam tips in order to get the best seal. When you get a good seal, you can hear the uncluttered and complete V2 sound. I use Comply 400 tips. Size 500 might fit better, I'm not sure. Like others have said, the V2 is good for the more relaxing music, playing it softly and melodically. It's thick and warm, and can give pleasant vocals. It has better bass than the Tin T2, so it doesn't feel as if you are missing out on the pop and indie rock.
The V2 is probably a better IEM for mobile phones than the MH755, but it's actually pretty close. The MH755 might beat it in isolation for some people, although I wouldn't really want to drive it from a phone. V2 comes with a useful case, and MH755 doesn't. But you're taking a risk with the third and final tuning (currently available) because some say it is more boring and generic than the original V2. I'll know more when my 3rd tuning arrive
Since you mentioned tin t2, it is also one of my choices. But others said it lacks in bass, what do they mean? As in it lacks so much? Or it still give a good bass?You know, that's an interesting question. I have both the MH755 and original Y*nY*o V2 (1st tuning).

It has low impact of bass compared to many others in the price range, the bass is still fine in my opinion as long as you're not driving it with a phone or want those phat beatzzzz from your hip hop. It does not have an impact in any frequency really, smooth listen. Don't buy them if you want to be excited by anything.Since you mentioned tin t2, it is also one of my choices. But others said it lacks in bass, what do they mean? As in it lacks so much? Or it still give a good bass?
If I had $10 and needed an IEM, It would probably be KZ ED9. My second choice would be NiceHCK EP10. 3rd choice would be EZAUDIO D4.

Definitely would agree with the ED9 and EDR1. HD9 is also a consideration, you can get if for a cent when you are a new user.I'm new to Head-Fi, but found this thread.
What is the best IEM for 10 bucks? One that you can just enjoy music with and not pinpoint sound signature and so on?
I actually never thought about recabling. I have two pair of earphones whose cables are pretty much trashed.. but then again, I don't know how big of a job recabling is.Yeah, the awful cable is a deal-breaker unless you have the skills and tools to replace the cable yourself
@snkrsyourmom This is what Tony said a few pages back.Yup, EDR1, ED9, MH750/5, BL01 all fit into that category. None of them change the world but for the money they are all brilliant "earphone as tool". Sometimes it's nice to listen to the music with zero care for the gear.
After listening to the C12 for a while today, I've found that the treble is just a bit too much. I tend to have a headache most of the time and listening to them during one was fatiguing. It's so close to not being too much treble though. The clarity/resolution is very, very good which makes me sad I can't enjoy these.
Any moron could do itI actually never thought about recabling. I have two pair of earphones whose cables are pretty much trashed.. but then again, I don't know how big of a job recabling is.
lolWhat about this guy?
I'll look into it, I always had the understanding that it's something which isn't done.. Hopefully I'm a little bit smarter than a moron and figure it outAny moron could do it
