I have never seen this before. What is the price? I cannot find anywhere to buy it (if it does not cost too much)

https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...2112843&isPremium=y&SearchText=rc+one+earbuds

The Reecho RC One sells for ~23 bucks, you might get a better deal from an "old friend".

I post it like a month ago?

RC One was overshadowed by the other two flagship earbuds.

Is it worth having if I already have so many earbuds? I did order the lucky bag...could not resist.

You can never have too many earbuds

don't have it, mite get it... i use wireless earbuds most of the time these days so I am hesitant to get new wired earbuds.

No idea, I am taking a blind shot myself as I don't think Rose even showcased the prototype to anyone. I only know that it was in development for almost 3 years now. Of course I do own enough Rose earbuds to have confidence in their work.

I'm sure it will be good. Have faith in their abilities (although a little less in their quality control).
Might have to flip a coin between Turandot and Maria : )
... or just stay happy with the Smabat ST10.
Sent a question to Penon about the Maria, but I guess he might not know either.

I'm hesitant about the Rose Maria because their Mojito does not fit my ears well. I've gone ahead with Turandot because Yuin style shells are a particularly good fit for me.

Thanks (?) to this thread, I've been on a earbud buying spree over the past few months.

My top choice so far, the FAAEAL Rosemary.

What source do you use? With my gear it's extremely dark and muffled, I guess it needs a lot more power, though I thought my source should be ok at least. (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 gen 1) I'm interested in every kind of setup that works well with this bud

Nice, when the time comes, let us know how you like the knights

Most audio interface is poor source compared to dedicate headphone DAC/amp.

I have a love/hate relationship with this earbud. I can never relax and listen to this thing. If there is not enough power it sounds exactly like you described. Awful. Usually, I plug this into my Schiit Magni 3. It's overkill but there is nothing else that I feel can properly drive it. In fact, I just plugged it into my V30 and, even though it can get loud enough, the bass dominates the sound and it's flabby and unimpressive. From the Magni the bass gets actual punch, sounds a lot less congested and the treble starts to come through. I also find that turning it up higher than I'm normally comfortable listening is where it sounds best. I spend most of my listening time trying to dial it in to the best volume. It's frustrating...but it sounds really decent. Honestly, I feel like the Earbuds Anonymous bud gives me exactly what this can give me but without all the hassle. With that said, I've been listening to it since you asked the question.

Tis that time of the year when one buys a budget (<35 USD) earbud from Aliexpress (11.11 sale).
So, for a neutral to a slightly bassy signature, which could be the best bet?

Any suggestions?

What do you guys use as portable amps for hard to drive, potentially high Z earbuds?

It's not that I really want to travel with an amp, more that the power is not clean at all in my house with a lot of noise, so I prefer to run DAPS/amps on battery.
