Earbuds Round-Up

I have the Asura 2.0, but unfortunately I recently sent the HE150 to one of my good friends who loves metal music.  He is REALLY enjoying the HE150.  He had never even tried an earbud before.
 
 
I give too many of my earbuds away.. haaa.

Unless you don't remember the HE150 well enough, a vague comparison is fine, I'm just curious if they share overall similar qualities or are massively different in overall sound sig

From memory, the Asura 2.0 is warmer.  I would say the big value earbud would be the HE150.

Me too... the e808+ fit is great. The round part of it does'nt seem smaller than the mx500, so I thought I had an idea putting some sugru on the side of a Qian25 to create the same shape. On the back side, pushing the whole thing a bit forward, like the e808. I almost did it on my Campfred right away as I was sure it was a great idea. It fits quite good, better than stock, but it seems to have killed something in the mids. It sounds strange now, not as I remember qian25. Can't quite wrap my head around it, other than maybe the outer curved edge of the mx500 shell plays a role in the mids, or the position in the ear has changed for the worse..

The e808+ in particular has a good fit because the drivers aren't centered like in the mx500 shells.

I really wonder why so many brands use the mx500 style shell. I know it's cheap but, I feel like it's one of the most uncomfortable shells. My ears get sore much quicker with them in comparison to other styles.

So any personal faves for earbuds that cost less than $20 and come with a mic?  I was planning on just ordering the monk + with a mic as i already have them without a mic.  Anything else to consider?  I'd like a good quality mic if possible as I use it for gaming.

Hmm, well you could always use a mic cable on **** pt15.  I think ucotech 905 is about as good as it gets for gaming, but that is $60.

It depends.. what's your source ?
Is  it a DAP, a good DAC/AMP like Mojo or Desktop DAC +AMP.
 
Then people may be able to suggest accordingly !

just received my Music Maker Toneking TP16 and I'm quite impressed with the sound with my S6 (I don't have a dedicated player...)

despite coming from IEMs I do enjoy the openess and the soundstage with these buds, which sounds fairly balanced with slight emphasis on the highs.

definitely looking forward to purhasing other higher end buds in the future (after getting better source / players)
