Hi, that is not at all the way I hear my Snow Lotus 1.0. The way you are describing it, I think it could be out of phase. The first thing I do when I get a new bud or iem is to check they are in phase. Have you done that?

Nope, tested it and they were completely fine. Even with the fixed EQ they're also fine. I have music tracks with stereo stunts and I don't really hear the out of phase sensation.

I have the transparent 1.0 version if you're asking. Maybe the SS is different on various shell colors, it's EQ-able and that somehow fixed the sound to my liking.

Update: extensively tested it (thank god for a mono option) and there's nothing wrong with the wiring. The sound is basically just not my preference and some tracks seems off. It's perfectly fine. The lower upcoming to the upper mids are just weird, it's not hollow but a tad bit elevated, and some roll off in the upper and lower treble that makes some tracks (esp vocals) sound real unnatural.

How do you check if an earbud is in phase? Sorry to be so clueless.

Here's a more useful guide.

I can't really explain it properly but if your stereo equipment has mismatched wiring, the stereo image would be mangled up instead of playing in front of you like any 2 set of speakers would.

I find this website to be extremely helpful, not just for polarity checks: https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php

SiggyFraud and captione, thanks for the responses to my question.

I just received an earbud today, Willsound MK32, so I will check out your suggestions.

Finally ordered Smabat M1 pro... however when the box arrived it said M1 ... are they the same ones. I thought of ST-10 as advised but thought it would be slightly bigger so decided to go with the M1 Pro. It was meant as a gift and the intended receiver says its a little too big for the ears... any other recommendations of a smaller one with detachable cables?

Thats what the box says. But it is the M1 pro. They currently only make the ST-10 & M1 pro.

What is too 'large' about it; length, barrel/body, diameter of cover, etc?

The M1 is smaller diameter at 16.1mm vs ST-10 at 16.8mm for the driver. Few and far between for smaller there.

Thank you for that. I meant smaller diameter.. thats why i choose M1 Pro over ST-10 but still a bit large. Would the BGVP DX5 be smaller?

I just got the FAAEAL Snow Lotus 1.0+ with my Nicehck DB3.
Protip: Just buy the 1.0+ next time LOL, or Iris for much cheaper.

I like the balance of the 1.0+ over the two. It's delicate but gives enough good extension to both high and lows. Mids are executed well. Sound staging is a bit wide, with nice depth that makes for an engaging listen.

M1 already used one of the smallest driver around. Any smaller we will be talking about Apple earpod.

...And no, DX5 is larger because of the housing.

Thank you very much. I have no intentions of even losing my way towards Apple pods .. i was thinking of some of the manufacturers used micro drivers or something. Appreciate the information.

Still, I was surprised by the earbuds from Thailand

LungAudio V2 (Uncle audio) / ลุง audio

The first impression is a mix of Earbuds Anonymous and Willsound MK2.
Sound warm, little bright, smooth and perfect, airy, balance, sweet. The middle is full, has a good mass and sound weight, scene slightly clamped. The treble from a warm, good sparkle and details, the texture is full, clear, good music separation, enough bass.

Metal has never sounded so good in my earbuds as on these. Poorly recorded albums, cutting sounds of musical instruments in metal, everything in these earbuds sounds great and does not tire.
The sound in the middle is not bright, not dark, has a rich texture, highly clear and realistic details, absolutely good separation of music, balance, control, slightly bloom, have an ambiance, high accuracy. The scene feels the dimension, width, depth, dimension that is better than general earbuds at this price. Enough bass. not much and not little. It has an acceptable amount.

Ahhhh! Blox, I had BE3, great earbuds for a nice price.

There is the nicehck ebx which is 15.9mm diameter, but has a similar barrel type body. And the ourart acg or ti7 which is 15.75mm dia and has a 5.35mm dia width.

Otherwise maybe the toneking ros1 is supposed to be small but it's not detachable.
