Does anyone has or know Technical Specifications of Old Classic Round Apple Earbuds? Not the Earpod or AirPod one but the old classic. Ideally the 1st gen or may be 2bd Gen is also fine. I posted image link to them earlier.

I basically want to know the Driver Size and Freq Response.

i recommend tingo tg-38s if you still can get it (just did a search in aliexpress, apparently sold out). punchy bass, sweet mid, non-sibilant high. sounds crystal clear and full for me. but sure, wait for other people's recommendation as well. $150 can get a lot of earbuds that tingo only cost me $11

It is silly that Tingo tried to market TG-38s as using MX985's driver as it sounds nowhere near a MX985, nor actually using a MX985 driver. Plenty of sub-$15 earbuds can match or supersede TG-38s

Hi @ClieOS

What are your top recommended earbuds that are currently best value for money, and provide full lush sound across the spectrum, particuarly mids and bass at or under the $150 mark?

Anything new with a shozy / yuin shell

I measured my set. It's the version that came bundled with my iPod Classic Gen 6 (2007).
For this measurement I added foams, as the measurements get really unreliable without a half decent 'seal' on my miniDSP EARS jig.
They're not made for measuring buds at all, so pinch o' salt and the usual... the curve is compensated with the IEM compensation files.

I thought the iPod Clasaic 6 gen. has the 2nd generation iBud? He is looking for the much rarer 1st gen. iBud.

Ah ok, that wasn't clear from the original post, since no images provided.

Any tips for getting more bass from the Smabat ST-10? Having bought too many earbuds the Yincrow X6 and Fengru DIY EMX500 get used the most. Having read a few reviews of the ST-10 I thought they would suit my taste. Ran them in for 20hrs and tried them this morning - only managed 15mins before going back to the X6 as they felt too bright, not enough fullness. Will have a look in the mirror later to see if I'm not putting them in fully as pushing them in a little with my fingers makes them sound fantastic. They are being driven by an iBasso DX220 with EQ turned off.

can zeva superfire supercedes tg-38s? any other earbuds that you recommend under $20?

i don't care what aliexpress says regarding tingo since they are all reseller. but if i see the official store in taobao, tingo tg-38s is described as "TinGo听哥TG-38S平头耳塞式 类似MX985/A8 HIFI人声乐器音乐耳机", which means similar to MX985/A8 and never once in the description saying it is using MX985 driver. I believe the reseller got confused (like i was once) because Tingo actually uses tg-38s shell for tc200. tc200 is the one which is using the MX985 driver or so they claim.

i am not saying that i am right, boss. merely giving Tingo the benefit of the doubt.

The ST-10 shape is 'thinner' than an MX500 shell. Perhaps you need to do a full foam with donut foam on top to make it seal correctly in your ear?

Good thinking! I use full foams on all my earbuds but I will give this a try. It's taken a while to get to grips with putting foams on so on to the next challenge. Thanks @assassin10000
