I had BK2 and do not recommend. Build quality is good but in therms of SQ are overpriced. Shouty and fatiguing.

Kube v2/ek2 maybe
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/earbuds-round-up.441400/page-2615#post-14727108
Kube v1 modded is like the VE zen 2.0 with more clarity and balance. I'm using it without foams or with very thin foama during tests and it's awesome.
The V2/ek2 is warmer-darker slightly in stock form in the presence region. It may sound good foamless without any harsh lower treble.
I mention the VE zen 2.0 because its the most popular earbud to wear foamless. Which it was designed for.
Although

I could check that out... I have not yet put foams on my backup pair of Kube2. I should make sure they work anyway... lol.
Only thing is the kube venting is on the back not behind the foams like on mx500 shells, so you won't get that boost of the low end - warmth you get from removing foams from mx500 earbuds.
But can't hurt to try!

how is EB2 compared to willsound Mk1 or MK2?
Hi, so I'm in a need of another kind of recommendation. I'm looking for cheap earbuds not based on sound but comfort. What I want is good earbuds to sleep in. They would play audiobooks, some asmr and light, relaxing music. Obviously I wouldn't want some crappy sound quality, but that's not the most important thing, as I have other headphones for music listening.
Finding good cheap earbuds wouldn't really be a problem, but since most of them use that MX500 shell, it is. They are a little too bulky and when laying on my side ears start hurting a little. I used AuGlamour RX-1 and they were great, but the cable in them is so flimsy, they broke twice.
Would anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Bad Info here. Deleted. EBX at $70 is still a good price though.
Almost want to buy another one at that price but I don't want to sleep on the sofa...
Hmm.

My personal favorite for comfort is pk shell earbuds. IMO the RX1 is still too large depth wise for perfect comfort.
Pk or Qian/monk lite type shell comes the closest to perfect comfort.
Actually apple earpods are really comfortable too for that use, did you consider just buying some earpods? Although I know some don't find them as comfortable as others...
Anyway try the diy pk2 sr2 on aliexpress from chittys store. @jogawag may get you a link to the best version (one vent or two). My aliexpress links never work for people.
Although i gotta say. The rx1 had a sturdy cable and Jack. Where on the cable did it break on you exactly?

Can someone please compare the Moondrop Liebesleid with e.g. EBX, TO600 or OURART ACG? Much appreciated and asking just in case I might want to buy another earbud in the sale.

I'm leaning towards the ACG also!
Hi, what is your music genre and DAP/DAC? I think BK2 is best for instrumental music.
Did anyone use the BGVP DX3s? I intend to buy it on Aliexpress $35, does it worth?
Never had any apple product in my ears, so it never even crossed my mind. The first thing that come to mind with Apple is overpriced for what it's worth.
I will check out those other earphones you listed.
RX1 cable broke where it touches the headphones. I'm assuming it's because the shell is metal and since I was laying my head on them a lot and maybe moving while asleep it was too much for them

I know it's not an earbud - but imo the best thing about Tenhz P4 Pro??.....the case....haha!
EBX for <$80 is worth a shot. Though not sure if it's worth for sleeping on the sofa...
I'll try to answer about EBX vs ACG. EBX is the safest bet. ACG is better on the clarity and imaging, but it's bright and bass is rolled-off (or, no decay). EBX has nothing outstanding but instead, more balanced overall. It's very musical; you can throw anything to them and they'll just present the music without trying to be artificial. ACG on other hand really shines for jazz, bossanova, live acoustics for its details and impressive imaging; look at other options if you want to listen to metal, hard rock or edm.
edit: should be addressed to activatorfly instead. i am curious about Leibesleid vs EBX or ACG too.
