On the TFZ Series 5, check the nozzles to see if they are properly vented. I saw a post where the nozzles had some sealed holes which mucked up the sound.

The Series 1 is great with its bass, so I'd believe the 5 would be even more refined.

Anyway if that vented hole too small and uneven just remove that layer captured

Should be not an issue

Is there an amp thread where you might get better response? I know too little about amps, but have you tried different audio software on the android device?

You could look at second options in the buy/sell sections or on your local reddit for a budget that low. 
 
With such a budget, i would think of Qcy options or Mpow options. you can find them on gearbest. (p.s im not affiliated in any way)
 
I bought the MeeAudio X7's recently for about 50 on the buy/sell section and im pretty happy with it! Look around for a bit more!

Thanks for the response. What models should I look out for?
I see the QCY QY19 is on sale now for $16,99, but could not find reviews of that model on Head-Fi.
Also, the MPOW Magneto is available for $34,99, but I have no clue about these headphones.

boomsound was one of the main reasons i bought this phone. i dont use the dolby setting since it colors the sound too much, but i do use the personal audio profiles w/ the L/R freq test on every earphone i use.

 
The software EQ'ing of BoomSound is exactly what's making the 5 sound muddy and crummy. That's fine if you don't like it, but you can't blame the headphones for unpleasant sound caused by an app on your phone.

the problem is not the connection with the android, the problem is that the left and right are reversed , is there any program window to correct it?

You said it works properly on your computer, correct? That would suggest that the problem is either the connection or the android device, including the app you use to play music. Try a different app and a different cable/connector.

its okay buddy i used to think EQ was taboo too, until i tried Sonarworks on my hd600/t1/k712, now im a believer. like i said, for me, boomsound EQ was the main allure of htc 10. the L/R dynamic profiles make all my earphones sound better. i dont like the tfz series 5 you're right, but maybe i was just expecting too much from a low-end iem.

I didn't say EQ was bad. I said you can't judge a headphone as being muddy/bloated whatever if you're listening to it through HTC's BoomSound crap. You might as well plug them into an HP laptop with Beats enabled. 
 
"Guys I have my headphones plugged into my computer with Dolby 5.1 simulated and all the room effects going with the theatre preset on why do they sound so bad OMG these headphones are garbage!"

about QY19 and Magneto.  (my two headsets are free samples from Japanese Amazon shops) 
Magneto is slightly v-shaped with treble enhanced whereas QY19 is slightly v-shaped or balance with slightly bass enhanced.  IMHO: QY19 is a little superior league to Magneto. 
I get a QY19 recently. this headset is  better to sound holographic image than other headset on the same price ones. 
QCY has fake products but it might be no problem to buy one from reliable shops.

Yeah those were mine. After opening up the holes they sounded just fine.
 

 
My TFZ 5 are on the right in that photo. No need to completely remove the metal filters, just get a fine needle and poke the dents where there should be holes.
 
Also, if the bass is still too much, i recommend the "Seppuku" mod. Very gently insert a fine needle into the vent just above the nozzle 2-3mm. You'll feel a membrane give way. Stop at that point. That should tame the bass nicely.

You don't have any other AKG K series to compare to, do you? I wanted to get in on the drop but of course missed it.
