Recieved my DQSM D2. I'm pretty sure this is the best sound one can get under 500 bucks from a reputed brand. After some pondering over the pinnacle, ended up getting this. And this is truly spectacular. The build quality is brilliant and can take everyday dhaka abuse, 3 changeable filters bass,treble and flat and a very strong cable. This is the dream iem. A 3 way driver with a DD and 2 BA is the ideal setup.

I solemnly swear not to buy another iem in a while.


Sure or not don't buy any IEMs at the moment he he...
I can believe you can last how long from now on :D

I've got SUR-S530 (and s520) from ebay few weeks ago. Impressive sound quality: good bass and trebles, neutral mids. Airy and detailed. 
Overall quality is good + detachable cables. Was not expected from JBMmj brand

Another gemstone in my collection - Vivo XE800 (same biocellulose driver as GR07), on Ali for only 27$.

Does anyone have experience with Fidue A73 getting significantly better after burn-in or tip rolling? I listening to it today for the first time and I'm a bit disappointed... They're just not even close to my beloved B3

I had the S530 for a while. Liked them but didn't find them overly special. That said, I liked them enough to buy their little brother, the S808. Now those are awesome. :D Still one of my favorite budget earphones to date. Anyone interested can check out my old review of them here; http://www.head-fi.org/products/sur-s808-deep-bass-sound-in-ear-metal-earphone-with-mic-control/reviews/13348

I have the 808 & the BK35 and to be honest I am not impressed with the BK35 it just sound Ok... were as the 808 I think sounds fantastic. To much mid bass with the BK35 as well which gives it a dull sound to my ears.

 
Yea, I wasn't impressed with the BK35's either. I've received a second pair from the maker 'MaGaosi' since the first one he sent were defective. I'll be posting a review within a few weeks along side the BK50 and the 808's.
  Yeah 808 are great for the price and best IEM atm I`m owning (in modified configuration) but I wish someone could compare 808 vs. BK35 vs. BK50 to find out which out of them is "best", so we could give better recommendation and ppl don`t have to modify them to get sound right.
Btw, I`m having a blast with The Mars Volta atm, they sound near "perfect" with little amping, right tips and closed front vent holes.
 
Btw, about 808 using Piston2.1 tips - I think they do not sell them anymore with silicone tips with wide bore like they were? Any info on that? They seem to have now "round-shaped" brown silicone tips. Guess I have to find alternative to recommend for 808 owners. Got to check out my tips collection, I think I might have some similar tips to P2.1 originals.
 
I think (by FR graphs) and all sound tweaking needed with 808 - if BK50 shape/nozzle length is ok for buyer - I would probably go rather with BK50.

 
I finally have all three at hand, but won't be posting the reviews until a few weeks later. A little hint I can say is that the BK50's can easily be inserted deeper with smaller tips and sounds great! especially the MIDS! .....very similar inserts as the KZ ATE. The BK50 can easily be a keeper for those with medium to large ears for comfort and I already like them better then the Xiaomi Triple hybrid with the similar housing! .....I promise a full review within a few weeks!

HLSX 808 are great for R&R. Listening to Bauahaus Ziggy Stardust on them now and before that Led Zep. They are full range, with decent bass, mids are just a punani hair recessed, and treble for days. Check out these posts for some mini reviews by @1clearhead
avd the RAW mod by @CoiL
. While I don't own the Fidue A65, I would think the 808 will kick those in the balls. Search this thread for more info.

What would be the best IEM in the <=$30 range for running? Inline microphone is a requirement, high durability and stay putness is also a must. Thank you for any suggestions. I listen to house, chillstep, classical, and hiphop.

Haven't heard them but these seem to get a lot of praise, the Tennmak Pro

Just got my DQSM D2 about 30 min ago. Simply....BEAUTIFUL. Seems like a super solid build and the SQ is just superb
 
Ok, the stem of the 3.5 is can come loose ruining the sound. I can tighten and its perfect of course. Waiting to see if I'll just leave be or if Easy can send me a replacement.

I am waiting for QKZ W1 PRO for my running, they are recommended here, I have no idea if they the best up to 30usd but they ridiculously cheap - 8usd so no worry when they get damaged. In addition, in their description, they are advertised as waterproof.
