Earbuds Round-Up
Feb 24, 2017 at 2:14 PM Post #18,153 of 75,835
I need a earbud with good bass and soundstage. I'm a basshead. My budget is under $300. And it can pair with my sony wm1a orwalnut v2 without an amp. I prefer it can swap a cable with mmcx, because i have a extra silver cable from my vegas. If not its fine. Any recommendations ? I just bought a zen 2 but i don't like the sq.

Depends what you consider good bass, IEM levels ain't gonna happen in an earbud. To be honest I'm struggling to think of any MMCX earbuds other than the **** PT15 which can be bought without cable, although I only buy budget cos I buy so many.

I bought a set of Daik DK-Song earbuds for $46.95, without a cable.

I wouldn't drop 300 from the get go, try the qian 39, she3800, e808+ from there you decide if you want more and can go into ones like edimun, yinman 500, red demun etc. Just my 2 cents.

Hey guys, been following this thread for a while but never posted, looking for a little bit of help with my next purchase.
 
I already have a small collection of earbuds:
 
- **** PT15 (too bright for me, no low end)
- Qian 25 (too bright for me)
- TY HI-Z  32ohm (too bright for me)
- Qian 39 (warm sound signature to my ears but really enjoyable)
- Toneking TP16 (almost neutral sound signature to my ears, really enjoyable... also love love love the cable)
- Monk Plus (fun sound signature, really enjoyable)
 
Currently in my ali shopping cart:
 
RY4S, Faaeal 32ohm, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-New-Arrival-In-ear-Earphones-Flat-Head-Plug-DIY-Earphone-HiFi-Bass-Earbuds-DJ-Earbuds/32759573651.html (no idea what these are called) and Boarseman MX98s (mostly because I love their looks). Any of these I should steer away from?
 
I mostly listen to indie and electronic music. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I can't even think of any earbud (not IEM) over $300, so cost is not a limitation. Yinman 600 ohm has MMCX connectors and good bass and soundstage, but I don't know if your players can drive it adequately.

I've been impressed with the Mantis C7 (currently $12.77 on AliExpress).  It's Bass impact and range are nearly equivalent to my VE Asura 2.0 (2.5TRRS), which was $88.

Is it possible to buy and change Flat cable to the existing ones? What change it makes on present audio quality. For example, if I want Flat and Tangle Free cable for Monk+, can it be done? How and if Flat/Tangle Free cable is available to buy? I want cable like UiiSii U2. Really liked them. But no idea how to change and what tools will be required.

Philips SHE3800 or the previous Monk if you can still find.

What is your audio source? Hate to state the obvious, have your tried adjusting EQ? IMO the Qian39 and Monk+ should have more than enough bass for indie and electronic music  - both respond well to EQ adjustment.
