It can reach deep but quantitatively it is not a bass heavy earbud. I'll call it just a bit north of neutral.

I received my Tourandots, and the bass can go from not enough, to good, to buzzy/flabby in three clicks of volume.

Do I have lemons?

The first question should be, do you have a good fit? Try some donut foam / full foam first and see if they improves the sound / fit.

@ClieOS , I am interested in getting the K’s Bell-Ti 120Ohm. As I do not have prior experience with earbuds, I was thinking we could use the ER4S as our common reference. I find the ER4S to be intense in the uppe-mids (3-4kHz), bright in the treble, too neutral in bass, analytical in sound and having a closed-in soundstage. I also don’t like completely toned down upper-mids either, like on the Andromeda or IE800S.

Given these preferences, would the Bell-Ti work for me? Thanks in advance.

well, i didn't a/b them direclty , so i can't tell you a detailed difference but in general i like the mk2 better, they sound fuller with harder hitting bass more fun and musicality, the mk3 takes a more balanced approach with decent but less bass.

will is offering now mk32 which he thinks is the best right now, but i still haven't tried that.

you can get mmcx of any of them mk2,mk3,mk32 they should sound the same, but the mk2 and mk3 i had where from rholupat with vjc cable, i found the mmcx version with my cables sounding cleaner, so if you have some cables lying around, you can try mmcx

also if you have a balanced source, mmcx would be your better choice to use with balanced cables.

I have the 32s with the stiff black cable
I kind of like them over the MK2 MMCX by just a tad.
The stiff black cable is a little annoying but the buds sound great

TO400s : those are now my favorite earbuds out of BK2, EBX, and TO200.

They are not night and day with the TO200 (which needed quite a bit of burn-in contrary to the TO400s to my surprise, I'm extremely skeptical about this to say the least) but display a bit better extension both on the low and high-end, which make for a more complete sound. I'd say they are only 5% better, but 5% is a lot in a way.

Anyway, I don't think I'll get the TO180, seems redundant, but still eyeing the TO600, maybe it's worth another slight improvement?

I just ordered the Earbuds Anonymous buds. They should be here on Thursday. Looking forward to it.

I was really into the bud game a while ago but sold most of my collection to move to IEMs. I still have my Monks which I really like.

Does anyone have a $75-$100 earbud that is well rounded and good for most music? One of my favorite buds was the Shozy Stardust but I don't feel like spending that right now. Plus, I didn't have much luck with Shozy QC.

Yes, I already have a 2.5mm balanced mmcx cable. I'll have to look into the MK32. From your description, the mk2 seems to be the best fit for me.

Can you tell me if I have received lemons or is the flabby/buzzy bass intended?

Of course, these fit really well. They are fit better than the Dragon Simphonio oddly. Maybe because the metal is smoother and held by its weight.

Just the bass has a wierd pickiness to volume.

Can't say I hear any pickiness in mine.

Bell-Ti high impedance version will be almost the opposite of ER4S, being rather on the warm and smooth side of things. The tuning resembles that of VE Zen 2.0, but more refined and not nearly as picky about the source.
