Earbuds Round-Up

Received RY4S Blue cable HI and Yincrow RW-9.
RY4S is very good for its price, a little bit dry/thin sound & aggressive & bright but lack of nothing.
RW-9 is a Nuforce EDC in earbud shape. Really excellent performance for given price.
Waiting for SL1.0+CE....

Agreed, the RW-9 is pretty amazing. A slight step up from the SL 1+ CE for well produced music.

I'm glad that myself, and more importantly ClieOS, are not on bad drugs!

My RW-9s just arrived in Canada today. So I should have them in 1-6 weeks! lol...

You're set now.. no more than 1 week :)

how do you compare them to other bassy earbuds like the Svara, Samsara, EMX500, etc?

Completely different levels.

Out of your list I've only heard the EMX500 and really liked them. So much so I eventually sold my ZoomFreds but these KOSS blows everything out of the water. Literally, the bass be like that.

Whacky gizmos:

I wouldn't really consider them "earbuds" since they seem to insert into the ear a bit. Having said that, they are kinda neat.

How much were thy on Massdrop?

They were $60 on Massdrop - down from $250 MSRP :laughing:

By "design aspect" do you mean fit and ergonomics?

Yes. I really like the idea of having seperate drivers for different frequency ranges but the implimentation here leaves much to be desired.

This is the 3rd or 4th time the Koss KSE250 has been on Massdrop (the first was over a year ago at $100). I passed on it because many reviews here and on Amazon reported fit problems because of its size, and that would likely be the case for me. It's too bad Koss didn't try to continue to refine this unique design.

Pleasantly surprised and delighted by the sound presentation of both the Kube V1 and Elibuds Pearl. It's a must have for any earbuds enthusiast.

That bass and spaciousness...The Pearl are more controlled and refined, but the Kube V1 are just so much fun...

Still waiting/hoping for a Kube v1 restock
