Earbuds Round-Up

Vido Earbud speakers are big like Monk+ or will be good fit for small ears? 



What is special in Vido Earbud?


Have it on order, I don't know yet. But it's liked enough that a couple of guys on Headfi have been persuading AliExpress sellers to stock it, so that says something to me.

You should try Seahf 32s, you won't really like the fit (similar to Monk) or cable (similar to Monk), but the bass is very capable including sub-bass, good mids and clarity, and it has a mic

that my new glass toslink seems to make my earbuds sound even better to me.   I figured it would just sound like my cheap monoprice one.  It makes my Red Demuns sound Earth-Shaking Sub-Bass(tm) and Warm Sound(tm) with Good Clarity(tm).  Ok not really but what earbuds really do.

I miss the old days of this thread... I hope some admin can understand this guy is just baiting here. I'm trying to figure out a new earbud to buy but I just can read about basshead earbuds it's a bit annoying.

My advice, like the IEMs guys have their special thread designed to bassheads, I think it is a good idea you guys create a similar one about earbuds bassheads and mods to achieve that.

Just my 2 cents.

  Just to make sure you don't ask another thousand times, please check this one after Golov's recommendation...

He will then just ask if Oleg or yourself have tried it, and if has Earth-Shaking Sub-Bass(tm) and Warm Sound(tm) with Good Clarity(tm), and it should be cheap!
 
Not trying to be rude or anything but.. *shrugs*

 
You forgot flat cable and mic...

Hi all. I am wondering if somebody might be able to chime in and help with something? I have been listening to the Hi-Z 650's recently, and whilst they are decent sounding I am just not overly impressed considering the price and TOTL status. I am enjoying much cheaper buds a lot more (including the Hi-Z 150's and 32S's), finding the 650's just do not have the extension at both ends and a rather 'lifeless hollow' sound.
Now I am generally a believer in burn in, I am confident I have heard it with some phones and speakers, and that the 650's can require up to 200 hours worth to shine (I have around 50 hours on them so far). But has anybody found this to be true and genuinely felt that these need this amount to become impressive?
I am aware that it could just be that these buds are not to my liking. But I do not want to give up on them just yet incase some of the magic takes hold and I sell something that could have been a proper keeper.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys. Reading these positive impressions I'm tempted to buy the NiceHCK DIY PK2... Do you think it would be an upgrade over the earbuds I own? I like balanced, refined sound with big soundstage, possibly with a nice and precise bass that not cover the other frequencies. 
 
EDIT: to be more precise, a nice goal would be to have PT15 sound signature and detail with more bass and a soundstage similar (bigger even better) to Candy Monk+.

My Monk+ stopped working. I was mainly using it to take calls as it does not fit well due to large size speakers. As Seahf 32S is also large size earbuds but recommendations are that it is good in terms of Bass and clarity and warmness, but how durable they are? I can now order either BassX (ELECOM) or Seahf 32S or may be Edifier P190. Looks $5-6 earbuds are not durable as earlier one $3 earbud sttoped working and now Monk+.
