I endure 11.11 by buying iem instead. If only I didn't blow my funds in my holiday. Those puresounds 500 are in my cart like forever. They never participate in any sale though.

how much are they now? the PS100-500 is mighty fine though.. i use it with my ATH R70X, and swapping between them, aside for the obviously larger soundstage of the R70X (because of the physical size of it) they really do sound really similar

Got an email from Aydhi and vunbud is a go. Just ordered one. So get on it if you want one. They have been going fast.

I got a pair of Vunbuds couples of months ago but they had an issue with polarity. Instead of shipping them back (quite expensive) I decided to open the shell and did the reparation myself.
Still need burn-in (if any impact) but they sound good, not as bassy as expected. Pretty balanced actually. I'm using my ZX300 balanced

Blox TM9 has received a lot of criticism lately. I have skipped foams and gone to the same solution as with Cypherus ZoomFred: rubber rings with fins where I cut off the fins. Bass is retained and while they still are a bit gentle I find them to be really excellent and slightly more forward than with just foams! I am a bit intrigued by the 2 new Blox earbuds, but TM9 with rubber rings and no foams are enough Blox for me for a while. They do have a unique sound.
With SWD2+ I have tried some different options such as full thick foams and donut foams but thin VE foams seem to work the best for me...

which one do you prefer? i like the swd2+ much better than the tm9.. too soft and unfocused for me. no matter how huge the soundstage it has

I like them both but have not compared them directly. The big soundstage is what they have in common. I do not mind the sharpness of SWD2+, but have noticed that they can become a bit fatiguing during extended listening sessions. TM9 just goes on and on and on without making my ears tired. In short burst I might prefer SWD2+, though.
But overall I think that ZoomFred might beat both for my sound preferences.

Borrowed the Snow Lotus 1.0+ from my bro. Amazing smooth midrange, a little bit laid-back but details reveal pretty well for such a budget earbud. Bass is impressive, capable of delivering good impact, with deep extension, sub-bass is very audible. Overall sound is similar to Monk+ with much nicer bass, midrange smoothness, and ability to reveal micro-details.
Probably no brainer choice for under $10. Ironically, without MIC is the only option for these amazing buds.

Around 80usd. The price doesn't seems to move much. Not sure about taobao price though.
Edit. Digging around taobao, cheapest variations come down to 57usd..

isn't it like 50 usd? I remember looking around for it after chimie (or someone else) mentioned it being almost as good as the Samsara. Then 11.11 rolled along and Samsara/EBX got a whole lot cheaper
Not sure I've missed that price cut. I've been eyeing it for quite some time though. Still hanging around Rm300 - 330 when automatically converted to my local currency. Thus around 74-80usd. I always check the price every time I open my AE app.

cheapest option (Pop or Classic with the standard cable) is 339 yuan, so comes around to 49 usd (rm204). Though with shipping and currency exchange rate, will bump it up a bit higher.
Thank you i will do so soon

I'm in the U.S. and am thinking about buying 30 of the RY4S (UE cable) for gifts. Do you think buying that many will cause customs to charge me duty/import/taxes?
