Ah, arthritis is not going to help...

I do have a husband to help... when he is not at work. Sometimes I do not want to wait if a new bud arrives while he is away. Last night I changed an mmcx cable on an iem all by myself! Without ruining anything.

Some people say that but mine sound different.
You should try the Fengru Silver, they are better than all those others you mentioned IMO:

Oh come on! I don't need more earbuds to be interested in. Anyway, I ordered them. I figure if I order them then I won't want to buy them any more. Good logic?

Perfect logic. I can guarantee they will be your last.
(LOL!)

That makes perfect sense to me. Kind of like crossing something off your "to do" list. It means you are not a procrastinator

Finalizing my small shelled "to buy" list... aiming for gentle, ear friendly earbuds for extended listening sessions.

• Crystalcore Audio Kryptonite 150Ω (Local Thai DIY Earbud Maker)
• mickeyo2's Japan Docomo w/ Black SPC (Awaiting Malaysian Seller's Return from Vacation)
  
• Linsoul BLD 150Ω

Dropped the Shozy Cygnus for the Docomos and removed the VE Monk Lite 120Ω as they will probably be too bright for my taste and sensitive ears.

I think that was just a reference to the fact that it can take me 20 minutes just to get one foam on. LOL

no wonder i felt that you were complaining when i was asking you to remove the foams on the earbuds that came free with benjie x6

Crystalcore Audio Kryptonite 150Ω - which colour are you getting?

 

[MelodyMood]

LOL maybe if they press their head against your ear. How loud DO you listen?

Not too loud. I would say anywhere between 20-40% of volume depends on the outside noise. Doed the mesh behind the speaker does nor leak sound like another speaker behind the actual speaker?

Also, there are many MS16 models on AE. Which is the real one and best sounding? I am including that too in my list

Do you stretch the foams in 6-8 different directions before attempting to put them on? I do that now and it's way easier than trying to install fresh from the bag/box.

Bruce Banner Green if they still have em... awaiting feedback

Yes I do stretch them. It is just that my fingers will not always cooperate. Like right now typing is hurting them.

No more green ... so I went with Copper. Now have to patiently await 7-10 days for them to be made.

Yeah, perfect logic. You'll like them so much, that you'll need spares. And then they will come out with different colours, and you will buy them all.. and spares of those of course! Perfect!

Does anyone have earbuds using the SR PRO driver which is a new version of the SR2 driver?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32252667305.html

I think that this SR PRO driver has better sound quality(sufficient bass and clear mid-treble) than the SR2 driver and Docomo driver.
I love the earbuds which I connected the black version of this SR PRO driver to a monocrystal copper cable, but the black version is already sold out.

SR2 16Ohm on board. First impressions are good separation, soundstage, mids, and that BASS. Listening to Sir Sly's You Haunt Me (Remix) and the lows are impressive for an ear bud. There is good clarity, but the treble seems a little laid back, maybe slightly veiled. This could be my olden ears though, and quite frankly I am not hearing much above 12Hz these days. In not a believer in "burn-in" but I will let them play for a few days and see what happens. Then, maybe apply a little bit of top end sparkle via EQ. All in all - putting them at the top as king of my budget buds collection for now. Snow-Lotus 1.0+ wider and airier soundstage, but they are huge, while the SR2 is comfortably small shell like the Qian 25. Thanks again to everyone on this thread for suggestions. Have a great weekend of listening!
