Earbuds Round-Up

Not with this particular Penon cable. I have tried some pure silver cable (*MMCX over a 0.78mm adapter) before and the result is pretty good too.
Tks ClieOS, can I find it on AliExpress?

Anybody recommend a earbud that sounds like Trinity Vyrus 1 ?
I have the Trinity Audio Vyrus 2 and I think the EMX500s and NiceHCK EB200 are similar sounding earbuds. The EMX500s is closer and the EB200 is 200 ohms and needs a bit more juice

Earbuds are generally not my thing but there are really practical uses for them, for me. I currently own 2 pairs of apples and 2 pair of VE Monks. I like the monks very much, but the bass is lacking.

So looking for recs on basshead buds with clarity, and also anything thats w shaped. Think 6 in 1xba sound sig.

Im currently interested in NiceHCK ebx. Is this a good play?
Under 100 please

Thanks BTW why is so that the NiceHCK panda is good?
TBH for me the panda is only 'good' if you like mid centric smooth-warmer sound. It has excellent mids. Or if you use EQ and put a V shape I guess it can be really balanced because it has some bass and treble but needs more emphasis on the extended frequency.

It's very thick and lush in the mids though, with good detail.

If the K's Samsara goes on sale for $90-100 (but is currently at RRP of $140) I'd say that's what you're looking for as the K's house sound (on my K's Ling) is a little W shaped, well its more V shaped but with the dip in the upper bass-low mids so vocals are still forward. And sub bass and treble are emphasised nicely.

There's also the TY Hi-z 150 (s version is balanced) which seems to have the signature you are after.

Something cheaper to consider is the Vido/Yincrow x6 or the Yincrow RW-9. The former being more V shaped and the latter more less recessed mids so more balanced.

Read impressions on those and see if they suit your preferences. The samsara is always going on sale during aliexpress promotional sales.

I was actually mentioning the EMX500s not the EMX500 but both are very good earbuds
About half the opinions i read say they sound the same but have a different cable, while others say they sound different.

Might have something to do with buying from different sellers who use slightly different tuning matierials and cables.

I already had the EMX500 Bro's on the way before asking. They should be here soon.

It looks like the universe had helped you make a choice in advance :ksc75smile:
