Hi I'm a new earbuds geek on the forum
Have a few earbuds [Memt t5, Quian39, Vido, Monk+, Ms16, K's 64] but with help I want to expand my collection with some better ones.
I'm looking for something that will play similar to Monk+ or Ms16 but two class better. Expecting clear wide, detailed soundstage and good bass (I'm not bashed). Consider Shozy Cygnus and Smabat M1 Pro, Willsound mk32. Shozy may better one but bass?? I'm not shure.
I usually listen rock and symphonic/gothic metal, sometimes jazz, regge...

You can try HE150. You have the same Pro version there. Basically, it's the same driver except that the driver's cover and shell are different.
In the pro version, the cable is tangled easily. For me personally HE150 (not pro) sounds slightly better.
I'm interested in Seahf 150ohm. I don't know is it better then HE150.

I'm gonna buy some pair of TG38s.

Do you have the same boxy jack for your DIY TC200 though?

Yes. Exactly the same. TG-38S has better jack and softer cable

 

[furyossa]

It just does not suit your preferences.. that does not make it bad for everyone.

You are right. I agree. I didn't say it was a bad driver but no better than TG-38S, at least for me.
It seems to me that TC400 driver does not follow the Tingo sound signature. The TG-38 is similar to the TC200, ie slightly improved version.
As I mentioned earlier the only thing that bothers me is sibilance. After burn-in process sibilance is reduced but sometimes it does appear.

Okay. The cable on the TC200 is kind of short so I'd probably buy the TG38s. I saw some "TC200" earbuds on Shopee that has the same design as TG38s, should I jump on it or should I buy the OG version that you linked? I guess the sellers arw getting confused with tons of Tingo variants these days.

The L and R indicators are different from actual DIY TC200s too.

It looks exactly like my TG-38. L-R markings the same.
Original version of Tingo TG-38 (not DIY)

Think for something more expensive 40-80$. HE150 are similar to my K's 64 as know.

Hey guys, could you help me with a earbud accident I had?

Yesterday I discovered that I let my B40s in the pocket, and washed it with my clothes...

Now the buds are working-ish. It doesn't sound like it used to do.

Do you know anything that could be done in this case? Maybe some burn-in or something...

Maybe the tuning foam got loose in the shell, happens easily with pk type shells. You can open it up and push it back to place if nothing else helps

My FAAEAL Iris, Snow Lotus 1.0 and 1.0+ are on the way. The shipping took like nearly a month despite being reasonably near in China. I guess the COVID is affecting the logistics down there.
I'll post some first impressions here once I finally get my hands on it.

@palestofwhite I have not forgotten about your 1More question. I just have not had a chance to try to compare them... something I am not good at anyway. I can say I like them both with the EO320 being an easier fit for my ears.

This is what I wrote when I put them in my list. Maybe you already saw that.
1MORE EO320 - gold - excellent all rounder
IMORE E1008 -gold - gorgeous

My order of the EO320 got cancelled, so I'm left to decide if I should get back another pair of E1008 again. I needed something really good with mic and that tends to be harder to find around here...

Why did the EO320 get cancelled? ....and why did you get rid of your E1008?

That is an understatement.

It has not been talked about in this thread as much as some of the others but after the long Chinese New Year holiday work was meant to begin on Feb 2nd. That was extended to Feb 18th because of the virus. Maybe things are starting to move again now. It seems like your seller was one of the ones who could not resume work until the 18th.

I'm not sure why my order got cancelled but maybe because the seller was not confident of shipping his stock from China. As for the E1008, I gave it to my good friend who loves using earbuds...

I bought both from Amazon UK.. £29 and £49.. Can you speak to the seller about possibly ordering again after the problems in China settle down?

Thats cool that you can appreciate the mic. For me the only thing mics are good for is to help me tell right from left Sadly, one of my favorite DAPs (iBasso DX120) will not play properly with a 3pole plug. I have to add a short stereo adapter.

Ikr?
Actually I originally bought my FAAEALS to another seller in China (ordered them first week of February), but yeah, since it's Chinese new year and all, I had to cancel them because it's taking too long (there's a preorder status when I ordered, 10 days they said but it took much longer) + I'm just bothering their long vacation.

After that, I tried Fengru and surely enough, they didn't have the preorder status. Cancelled my order there, and voila. Told them to take the orders as slow as they can but I'm glad it's on the receiving side and not stuck in shipping hell lol

 

[beyermann]

Can someone recommend me some cheap earbuds that have a volume control and no microphone? why do they always stick a damn microphone these days? I miss some old sonys I had that ad an analogical volume control (a wheel) so I could control the volume anywhere irrespective of software. Can someone me point me to some earbud like that?
