Ok, suddenly there are too many choices:

Edifier H190 $17
Ourart TI7 $50
Penon Officials $100 (a bit out of my comfort-zone pricewise)
ToneKing TO200 $58
ToneKing TP16 $17
Willsound MK2 32Ohm $30

Hmmm!

My belief on this particular subject is I'd rather buy directly from VE and support a rather awesome person than a reseller. He will take care of you if you're polite and reasonable.

I don't know anything about VE. Is there a certain thread I should go to?

VE wants $3.50 shipping on a $6 item. If I could have gotten both the 40 ohm and the 120 ohm for that same shipping I would do it but they do not have the 120ohm right now as a standard option... only the more expensive SPC version. Maybe I will just wait until Amazon has them.

You'd be OK with $9.50 and free shipping? They will not likely be on Amazon. You can trust him.

I was hoping that if I could get both earbuds together that the shipping would still be $3.50. I don't know why the 120ohm is not available right now except for the more expensive edition. I will wait.

I personally feel VE is a big part of the reason budget earbuds have become so promising. Everything that's happened since has been others trying to surpass the bar Lee has set, IMO.

@HungryPanda Moondrop VX Pro or OurArt ti7?

I had the vx pro. It sounded good, but had problems with fitting (good sound with one foam but too loose, good fit with two foams but sounded weird), and also rather dry sounding and have an annoying freq bump that bothered me. But there are a lot of people in my local forum that like it though. Haven't tried the ourart yet. Definitely going to buy them on the near future

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

Help.

Yincrow X6 sounds almost identical to Vido but it has better build quality. You can't go wrong with it.

RY4S is also a good alternative to EMX500. Both of these are brighter sounding than Vido/Yincrow X6.

Hmmm!

I've got the OurArt Ti7, ToneKing TO200, and ToneKing TP16.

Without rewiring, the TP16 is Single-Ended(3.5mm TRS). It sounds good, and is very efficient, so it's loud when driven by lower powered sources, like phones.

I'm currently swapping back and forth between the Ti7 and the TO200, connected to the Balanced output of my DP-X1B DAP, listening to Google Play Music.
Both earbuds have a Full Foam over a Donut Foam.
Even though the TO200 is a 200Ω earbud, it doesn't appear to be harder to drive, and it does seem to have a warmer sound.

+1. I also have to thank Lee for getting me into buds.

1 earbud has stopped me from buying more earbuds

You should consider something like this (for $79):
EarStudio: World's first studio-quality Bluetooth receiver

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/radsone-earstudio.867366/

I like the sound of this:


Reviews are only starting to come out, but it might be quite good for a great price. And it would get rid of your phone woes.

Damn that looks pretty good for that price.

I've purchased parts from the Yuming Store, to assemble earbuds.
Unfortunately, nearly every order has had errors - most of which they've made right. (But, it takes another 3 weeks to get the missing item...)
