Just started using my me80 earbuds I ordered a few months ago. Now I see they're not sold anymore, any idea when they'll be available again ? If they're discontinued I'll just preserve these.
They are discontinued.

Wow, I had no idea it was discontinued! Good thing I have a spare set. Had I known it was being discontinued, I would have picked up a few more.

looking to buy somenew earbuds with a mic for my iphone under $100 and i listen to a lot of bass heavy music . I came across Linsoul KZ ZSX 5BA+1DD 6 Driver and Linsoul KZ ZAX 1DD+7BA Hybrid Driver

are these good choices? I prefer the look of the ZAX (black) to the ZSX but I see the frequency is 10-40k and that the back is open for the ZAX vs 7-40k with a closed back for the ZSX.. I don't know too much about the type of sound these different stats produce but from what i remember lower frequency is better for bass

Can anyone comment on why i should get 1 over the other?

The rated frequency range means basically nothing without graphs or dB reference. Either way humans hear from 20 Hz to ~20 kHz at best in normal listening situations. The ZAX isn't actually open back from what I've read; either one should be great for your listening preferences.

ZAX looks pretty darn open back. A closer inspection does not reveal any plastic plate behind that mesh.

I ended up selling my FA E3000 and Etymotic ER2SE. Come to the realization I don't like bullet style iems as much as the shell design (no idea what it's officially called). Is there anything in chifi even close to the ER2SE sound sig?
The Moondrop SSR is probably the closest to the ER2SE in sound signature (close to diffuse field neutral). It is less than 1/2 the price, and is a cable-over-ear design, though it has aspects that are kind of similar to “bullet-“shaped”.

Can we consider the BQEYZ KC2 with a detailed sound?

I bought my BQEYZ KC2 for little more than 20€ in Amazon.de at the end of August and it sounds great! (a lot of people still recomend it for its neutral signature)
Reminds me of my KZ ZS10 Pro, with a bunch of detail but with less harshness and a more flat sound curve.

EDIT: typo

I liked your story, it made me want to buy now haha. Interesting to know that it is detailed.
