So I think my BL-03 may finally be on life support now. And I may soon need a hopefully sub $30 replacement...
Do remember to take them out BEFORE using a defibrillator!So I think my BL-03 may finally be on life support now. And I may soon need a hopefully sub $30 replacement...
If you want the newer gen Chifi,Any recommendations for some good sleep iems. I'm looking at the tanchjim tanya right now.
Used to have the sony mdr ex15ap. They sound very close to the mh755, unfortunately the reliability on them is very poor. Left side stopped working within 3 months.
If you are considering the Tanyas then I take it captive cables are not a deal breaker?Any recommendations for some good sleep iems. I'm looking at the tanchjim tanya right now.

I have the final e500 they protrude out of the ear too much. Sad since their sound signature is actually perfect for sleepy non-offensive listening. Similar issues with the ed9 for me. This is why I'm looking for something that has the form factor of the mh755 or Sennheiser cx series. The detachable wires is a plus but not a requirement as such if the earphones themselves are durable. Durability and form factor is primary, sound 2nd.If you are considering the Tanyas then I take it captive cables are not a deal breaker?
For me personally the Final Audio thin bullet design are the most comfortable earphones I've used, can be worn cable down or up over the ear.
If you decide not to go with the Tanyas, in the same price range maybe look at the E500 or E1000.
Although I told myself I would not buy any more fixed cable IEMs I recently bought the similarly designed KBEar Little Q which I find are just as comfortable, local Amazon had them discounted to under £13/$15 so just too tempting.
Other small/thin/cheap/reasonably well reviewed IEMs to maybe look at are the older KZ ED9 and NiceHCK X49 or the new KBEAR Dumpling and CVJ Stepless to see if any produce your preferred sound signature.
If you want the newer gen Chifi,
Either, HZSound WaistDrum or Astrotec Vesna
Anything off aliexpress is out of bounds for me now in India. Good thing I got my introductory chifi during the golden times when you still buy from aliexpress starting with the kz ate.Back in 2016, I bought the Tennmak Pro, and they're low profile / comfortable to use while side-sleeping.
The Tennmak Official Store on AliExpress still has them available for $27 - $30 (depending on whether you get the cable with a Mic).
I've got the Rose Aurora (2017), which are also comfortable for sleeping, but they don't appear to be available any longer.
My favorite sleeping earphones are the Pizen PianoTrio (2018) - but they're also discontinued.
Aren't there mail order retailers based in Singapore you could use?Anything off aliexpress is out of bounds for me now in India. Good thing I got my introductory chifi during the golden times when you still buy from aliexpress starting with the kz ate.
Vesna have two version, the normal one with fixed cable and the EVO with removable cable.Hmm i did not know about the Vesna, removable cable, good form factor. I might just get this. On the wishlist right now
Thanks for the reply mate, learned something new again I think I will wait for 11/11 and then buy the CCA Cra+ I think i will enjoy these IEM's.Hi friend, you can't really compare graphs done by different users, who use different measuring rigs, with different eartips, with different insertion depths and different seals. These 2 graphs are also stretched differently in the axis.
Graphs are ideally compared by the same user with the same rig. They can look extremely different for the same IEM, just by varying a few of the above parameters.
A follow up after listening to these since they arrived: These are the greatest steal of the century. The tuning is spot on. Bass doesn't boom but extends, vocals are up front and center, as are solo instruments, and the highs are clear. Compared to my other $20 IEMs, they are the smoothest. The Letshuoer Zeros are no slouch either. Each of the bunch do things a bit different than others but all are infinitely listenable for sure. These HBBs are well-balanced similar to the Crinacles. That is my summary statement: Well-balanced all for $20 Jeez... Why spend anything more?Look at what I just received. First Impressions: Smooth as silk. How the heck can these $20 IEMs sound so good. Bass for days and well controlled to boot. The rest of the frequency band is well-balanced. Smooooooth.
Well, I'd like to come and do an update (?) on what I ended up purchasing.Having a maximum budget of 100$ ( could stretch a few dollars more), is it preferable to get a very good IEM or a pair of IEM + DAC/AMP? I understand that the audio source is also important but i don't have much exactly much budget right now. Thanks in advance ^^
