Earbuds Round-Up

Speaking of MMCX: are there any decent bluetooth receivers with that interface you could use to make wireless buds that, unlike anything I've seen in stores, are actually listenable?

If you don't mind the physical format, the Radsone ES100 is a very good BT Receiver / Amp, with both Single-Ended and Balanced outputs.
Just add an appropriate length MMCX cable, and you'll have a great sounding setup.

The only receivers which I am aware of that have their own mmcx connectors would be FiiO's RC-BT cable, and then the BT1 and BT2 cables from Shure

Is simphonio D3 worth it if you already own the D2+?

I only found one english review here that describes the earphone in similar ways of D2+
I asked Penon why is he not selling it, he told me he thinks it's "too expensive"
Being a big fan of D2+, after nearly a year I am still impressed by this earphone, was wondering... but maybe I should wait for D3+ or D4

Nearly a month has past and I am very happy with my Siamese made Kryptonites (original post link here)... they are extremely comfortable to wear; their cables are ever so slightly microphonic but not enough to annoy me; they offer a non-fatiguing signature (I am treble and sibilant sensitive); and their bass is quite prominent due to their interesting port holes. All in all quite pleased with em.

How would you rate them on imaging, soundstage, and realism of instruments?

Unfortunately, I have way too much work related hearing damage to comfortably offer any such specific details on their sound signature but with that said I am truly quite amazed at how much earbuds in general have come in the recent years to sounding more like open back headphones especially when playing classical pieces. Details wise my Blurs are probably better (larger drivers and shells) but their not as comfortable to wear nor can I wear them all day long like these Kryptonites.
