What is the general sound profile of the Ourart ACG. Would appreciate some feedback if poss. Thanks

Excellent mids, good highs and soundstage. Still a favorite, kinda going back and forth between it and the ST-10. In a quiet environment it to me is better than the ST-10 but out and about the ST-10.

Bass can be good if you have a great seal for earbuds but typically is a bit lacking. I think this is due to the large open face design, which allows a lot more air to escape around the circumference of it.

Just noticed this from K's Taobao shop on pre-sale. The name translate to either "smurf' or 'blue elf'

Price is around $240, so probably another top-tier level earbuds.

I wish they made their buds with a mmcx option, they look good and according to reviews seem to sound good/great.

Which of the current offerings of ultra-low budget (~$10) earbuds with the smaller shells (smaller than Monk+ type) have the heaviest bass? I'd like to try the smaller form factor.

Only one I know of the smaller yuin/pk shell under $10 is the Nicehck B40.

For $12-15 there is the DIY SR2 16ohm bud from Chitty on AE.

Whichever will give you the best seal. Maybe take a look at the Ty Hi-z 150 ohm. Decent sub and mid bass for 20 bucks.

Thats an mx500 style bud. He's looking for smaller yuin/pk.

$50 price range would be good.

I heard that these are good at this price

TY Hi-Z AWK-F150TS
BBB v2

but you should find out from the reviews or ask who has it

Okie doki. I've decided I want a pair of mmcx that's good for wearing cable down, rather than over the ear. I like to use the wing tips, and the Ty Hi-z fits me very well. Again, rock and hard rock are my jams. Willing to spend 100 bucks. There's just too many to choose from, and no way to listen to them. The new Smabat M1 coming out looks about perfect, but obviously we don't know what they sound like. Really, I just want to know which buds with detachable cable are comfortable to wear cable down. What should I be looking for as to where the cables attach to the earbuds?

Typically you would look for a relatively centered attachment point. PT15, PT25, TI7, ACG, BK2, etc.

Just pulled the trigger on the Ourart ACG. Sounds interesting. Will give it a lot of burn in when they arrive and give some general impressions. Thanks for your response.

That is a Monk-type shell which he did not want. The majority of buds seem to use that MX500 shell.

He should get the shozy xb then

Just received the B40 and using them with VE donut foams. Honestly they're pretty good for the price...

Any budget ones with mic with more clarity than headroom ms16? Is the b40 this way? Looking for flat/balanced, perhaps mid forward but without too much high roll-off

I own both and the B40 offers just what you want.

I don't have a higher powered source I'd use them with, except maybe for my laptop which I don't EQ on.

Is there any reason you don't EQ on your laptop? If it uses Windows, PEACE/APO is excellent:

Mostly because I hardly use it for music/movies.

OK, but it's an option if you need more power.

I'm one earbud richer. Thanks for the info
