Just check my order it is sunyou if free shipping.. Ouch. Hope this time it's different.

use extra .70cent for other shipping like China post guys. China post never lost their shipping even if they're super late in my experience

I just went with the default $0.76 "China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus" and will be treating them as a "What's this - I forgot I even ordered these!" surprises when they eventually get here :)

Wow, I feel bad for you. China Post was free for us and arrived in less than two weeks.

I belive many seller use China post as default free shipping. In ry4c case, it's too cheap they decided to give shipping with extra choices. I guess.

I usually get China post small packet in 2 weeks and singapore post in 10 days. Sunyou.. Nope no such luck receiving their packet yet.

So I was thinking my kube v1s were lost for good since it’s been over a month since I ordered, but surprisingly they came at the same time as my Sabia v6 pearl and kube v2s, really happy camper as my ears agree with all of them.

Here’s my burn in party that’s been going on all night, along with a pair of emx500’s that I didn’t burn in,

@HungryPanda if you end up recabling the kube v1s or v2s could you please share with us any problems you run into? I’ve never recabled but I’ve read that some drivers are extra fragile, thanks in advance

I'm not suggesting they are world-beaters, but for their price they are outstanding. They are better in overall sound IMO than all my other metal buds (AG RX-1, EO320, MEMT T5, EB2, **** PT25) which cost ~5x as much. And the build is solid if not the best finished. But for $6? No problem. They are firmly in my top 3 favourites and currently my daily drivers.

I don't like the cable, though!

From above I hve only EB2, but IMO there are better than MS16, especially in treble. Somethimes piercing without foams, but cymbals and high hats are clearly more natural on EB2.
But I like MS16 more than Yi...o BK2 or Monk+.

i saw this double sided tackle box yesterday and thinking it would fit my earphones. can't get my iems in because most have large housing and over-ear hooks, but for earbuds they fit just fine. now i can put most my earbuds in one place, except the Svara L (currently using angled mmcx connector) and the bluetooth cabled willsounds

That looks really nice. Now you just need another case for future buds:)

Yeah but at least to my ears, the eb2 was very smooth in the treble and lacking energy slightly, compared to the mids which were a little more energetic.

Curious, why TY Hi-Z's cheapest models doesn't get mentioned anymore?

Am in the process of giving away my old earbuds to friend's and their kids, the ones that gets played the most are: Monks (plain & red/black cable), Vido and TY Hi-Z (L-plug & red cable). Mostly well liked, but everyone liked the TY Hi-Z. The kids were snapping up the TYs as fast as I could throw them on the table.

Listening to one now, imo, less coloration than Vido and just as punchy. But I am the worst person to consult on MX500-shelled earbuds, as I have problems wearing them.
Love my ty-hi z
