I’ve just bought a Sony zx300 which has a balanced 4.4 output which I’d love to try. Do any of you know of any descent earbuds I can buy with that option?
The most flexible option is to get a 2.5mm balanced TRRS female to 4.4mm male adapter. Then you can use any earbud with 2.5mm balanced TRRS cable, which are widely available.

Alternatively get an MMCX to 4.4mm cable, and you will be able to use earbuds with MMCX connectors (however these are not as common).

Let's try again. Yincrow x6 is a safe bet for what i look for - something similar to vido Or emx500 ?

Help.

Hey Paul, I cannot help since I have no experience with the buds you´re asking about, there´s a "search this thread" function at the top right of the page where you can look for posts regarding the buds that interest you. There´s also an earbud survey with ratings if you want to have a look:

How does the Svara L compare to the Rose Masya? I am looking for an earbud with a detachable cable for around 100 euro, less is always welcome.

Starting to feel the itch. Maybe the H190's will be the ones?

I think you already know the answer. "The One"....sure...until the next One.

Depending on the music you listen to, the Svara L has a more bass oriented sound than the more neutral Rose Masya. Both are excellent earbuds. I prefer rock and electronic music with the Svara L and classical and acoustic type music with the Rose Masya. Also the OurArt Ti7 has detachable cable and I highly recommend them (prefer over the Svara L)

You should check out wong kuan wae "Blur sony fanboy" earbuds. It's DIY, 4.4mm and specifically tuned for Sony dap/dac. I think you can contact him on the Facebook group earbuds anonymous.


I do believe 4.4mm is superior. 2.5 is too small and prone for failure/break in a "portable" context.

@HungryPanda - Have you heard both the 115Ω & 32Ω versions of the Svara L? How much difference in Bass response is there?

Also, have you heard the MusicMaker ToneKing TO200 (200Ω) earbuds?
To me, they sound good, and they're a bit lighter & more comfortable to wear than the OurArt Ti7. My MMCX cable is also easier to remove from the TO200. :wink:

I never said "The One". That's fake news lol!

Yeah @HungryPanda, now that you seem to be successfully getting me sold on $50-$60 earbuds, inquiring minds must know!
