It was the beginning of the birth of a green line monster. . .
Maybe the 2.5mm termination will make a difference.

This is new. Plus the foams are not as white as the bud, photos lie.

The Willsound Mk3 is amazing guys, the hype is real, the build quality is amazing and the sound even better, they pair amazingly well with my music (prog rock/metal). On the other part the edifier H185 is MAYBE my favorite cheap bud, i like its bright presentation, focusing on mids and highs (imo) i recently discovered that i don't like much bass, actually the mk3's are in the borderline of perfect and too much, does anyone have a recomendation for this kind of sound signature? im thinking maybe Toneking tp16 and/or Tomahawk? is there anything else? under $50 preferable.

TP16 is more similar to EMX500, and Tomahawk is similar to the H185. i much prefer the H185 to the Tomahawk
similar to MK3 would be SWD2+
Do you use the thin ali foams? They make most buds sound more reference and open than thick foams.

No, i ordered but my parcel never arrived i may try to order them again.
That happened to one of mine, didnt bother to complain about it and hit order again and it arrived next time.
On the plus side the latest batch I got is considerably better in quality. Almost no defective foams, no tearing when applying them, overall more consistent thickness too. Either I got a really lucky good batch or the manufacturing process improved.
Either way you'll love em for the sound. They are worth all the bad QC, lost orders etc because they are the best foams for the least amount of money.
Also they seem to pair great doubled up with donuts if the fit is loose.
the tomahawk, while it is good sounding, it's too aggressive and too forward sounding for my ears. it made my ears fatigued too quickly that i sold the Tomahawk the very next day.
also similar bright sounding to the H185 are the moondrop VX Pro and the Liebesleid
Tomahawk on a tube amp might be nice
It was bright but was it Rose Mojito bright? From my memory when I had the tomahawk i felt it was quite sharp in the upper mids with a slightly artificial tonality but nothing like first hearing the mojito which has quite a jarring FR with it's recessed lower vocal range and bumped upper mids.
Maybe they peak in different areas and thus different for our ears.
