Umm guys I am new to the buds game correct me if I am wrong, I think the optimum fit
With earbuds should look like this right?

I can only relate to that last photo as I only have one that goes over ear. I do just tuck them into the tragus like that and gently pull down on the stem to seat them. That bottom photo looks perfect to me.

If you like the Kube you will love it!

It is not mine... like I said, we rarely bother to listen to each others. If I loved it I would want my own and we really do not need duplicates of everything. We do have duplicates of all the ones he makes... and most of the Indonesian ones.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an upgrade to the RY4S UE? I've gone through the Vido and RY4S as well, and it's been months since I've checked this thread for something new and interesting.
I like V-shaped sound signatures with nice imaging and clarity. I'd like something to be under $20, if at all possible.

Here are my suggestions:

Although the SR2 is more balanced than V-shaped, the Fengru Silver should suit you.

Ok, this is getting more addictive than IEMs! LOL!

I think I will settle with these 5:

1) Moondrop Shiro-Yuki
2) Fengru Silver (Tingo TC200)
3) 16 Ohm SR2
4) Yincrow RW-9
5) Kube v1

Should be nice addition to Monk+ & Asura 2.0 and cover most popular (by audiophile means) earbuds.

This month will take 1 and 2.
Next month 3 and 5.

Will report back when I have them all and do my subjective comparisons

They look the same but I won't know for sure until they arrive.
These ones I got for $4.99 are definitely the same:

Done! Which means I can't spend money on a pint of beer tonight lol.

Some good choices there.

Only some?
Should I ditch some?

Maybe he means you should add some

I don't have Moondrop (yet!).
2&3 I love.
4&5 I like.

Yes - another 50 or so!
(Only joking. I could boil my collection down to about 10 quite easily based on what I use.)

That got me thinking. Here is my top 10:

1. Fengru Silver
2. SR2 16ohm
3. Dunu Alpha 1
4. AKG K702 (over-ear)
5. Snow Lotus 1.0
6-10 (in no order):
Koss KSC75 (on-ear)
AAW Nebula 1 (IEM)
Sabia v6 Pearl
B&W P5 (on-ear)
Sony E808+

I was wrong, it wasn't easy.

What if you only pick buds?

Ah, that's a good idea, should make it easier. I'll do that tomorrow.
Currently using the Sabia. Tonally very nice. If it opens out a bit (like the SR2 did a lot) it should climb.

anybody owns the zeva superfire here?

tagging @ClieOS since he's the only guy I've seen here having any models from them.

also super interested in the Zeva Lord.E since he considers them TOTL, waiting for sales or more info on the MMCX version. might make a nice upgrade from my EBX.
