That's the reason why I got the earbud guides, I can't search for them at any of the audio stores here in Sg and found them in aliexpress, now i'm using without any foams feels bit weird cause too much "airness" i'll try with the donuts.

Oh no definitely without foams I don’t like the sound. I’m using donuts (regular very transparent donuts, not heigi donuts). I made a few cut outs in the foam for the vents on the back... yes it was exceedingly finicky to cut right. Donuts sound the best if you use em over ear I’ve discovered, assuming you use some foams tape to get a great seal, atleast for my ears this was the case.

Finally placed an order on BK blue, I hope it won't dissapoint.

I had an appointment for a week ago but then the snow came.. beast from the east... and the UK panicked. Only 6 inches in our area on that day but no buses, no trains, and our ride bailed on us (we don't have a car). In Michigan and especially around Chicago one time, I have driven in true blizzards. People were even panic buying groceries. I just have a hard time relating to this having grown up in Upstate NY and spending much of my adult life in Michigan, I did encounter it once before in Texas when an inch of snow closed the school...

Thanks - that was beautiful. Good thing there is no global warming!

Yes it is. Makes it difficult or impossible to use iems, buds or even headphones. Right now the best thing for me is either silence or my new little Koss KSC75 clipon...kind of a giant bud that sits lightly on the ear.

You never know when those classic cheapo giant killer KSC75's might come in handy!

I have seen many of the photos on EA. These buds look great, but I haven't seen much discussion on sound signature.

@j4100 : It has to wait customers make a review.

Those giant buds have been a lifesaver!

So a little bit, just a little bit overwhelmed.

How about a challenge: List of the first 5 earbuds someone should start their collection or education with under $100 total. More than 5 or less is fine. Make the list your own!

Maybe it’s the if I could only take 5 to an island list. Or you can make it a true educational baseline list for a newbie.

A small explanation of why each one.
Maybe the list will have the greatest variety.
Maybe it will have 1 at $50 and 3 at $15 forgoing a 5 count?
I’m game for throwing some money at a small collection partly so I have a baseline of sound comparisons for people talking about more expensive options. At this stage I don’t see myself spending a couple hundred dollars on earbuds. The part they play in my collection is allowing me full transparency while surrounded by people and family.

I can only agree after I put the KCS75 on a PortaPro headband.

ok i'm back with the foamies and i think my preferences is this...

If you like the airy treble of no foams but want the bass impact of foams grab the cheapo aliexpress foams linked a in previous pages for $1. I decided to roll with those for a change from the donuts and they are not dissappointing. Donuts have smoother high´s and slighty more bass impact maybe... or not if you use the foam tape under it´s plenty bassy with both foams, but the thin foams bring out the vocals slighty and the high´s are more crisp and airy. Overall it´s a little more edgy and quicker decay but I'm liking it wearing overear. Such an expansive soundstage and clean separation and imaging.

Thanks seanc6441. Great fodder for researching. Do most people buy on Alibaba, Gearbest, Banggood, places like that? Chinese sellers?

I'm making a cart now on AliExpress.

Maybe swap PT15 instead of X6. Others on the list are amazing (didn't hear Nameless but it's already proven to be good).
