Do u know how the HE 150 compares to the pro version?

My measurement is certainly not precise, but you can see that the "regular" version has a little more detail than the "pro".

I guess that both models use the same driver. Cables and shells are different, but I think that different cover on the driver
greatly affects the change in sound (metal mesh vs plastic).
The shell on the PRO version seams nice from the outside. I didn't open my PRO but I saw some wrong design decisions for the shell interior
which drastically deteriorate the sound quality. For example HEADROOM MS16 shell is quite reminiscent of HE150Pro but inside it looks like this.

There is no point in listing what is wrong here, mostly everything, this is a nightmare for sound.

Previously I had HE150PRO and HE150.

HE150PRO feels like ordinary earbuds with V-Shaped sound.

In comparison, the HE150 has an impressive sub-bus. Also, the vocal and sound itself are thick and bold, and the sound stage is spacious. Given the price, other earbuds don't match this? I feel.

However, according to the link below, the slightly more expensive SEAHF150ohm with the same driver has even better bass because of the excellent cable. . .

Thanks for the replies guys. So it seems the non pro HE 150 is better than the pro version LoL?

Yup. We share the same opinion about HE150. Also, I'm interested in SEAHF150ohm.
I broke one driver on HE150 when I tried to remove a driver from the shell to swap another cable.
I will order again HE150 and SEAHF150ohm.
These older 150ohm drivers are quite remarkable.
Speaking of 150ohm drivers, has anyone tried YINMAN 150ohm? (old & new)
I really like this classic wooden look.

Update on my dqsm Turandot , getting another unit now.

It is much better now. On same tier as the Simphonio Dragon 2 plus. But it is warmer and less fatiguing.

it is not an airy Soundstage like the Simphonio Dragon 2 plus. It is more like an indoor orchestra soundstage, where sound is far away by still silent when should be.

Simphonio Dragon 2 plus ismore energetic. Especially for transparency, and especially for female voiced songs.

DQSM Turandots for other genres and the sound compensates well for not having the perfect fit.

Not trying to hijack - I can't seem to give these away, so I figured I'd list these deals for earbuds enthusiasts.
I have a mint Smabat M1 Pro with all accessories for sale. Asking 35 bucks shipped, lower 48 only.
Also have a brand new Toneking TO180 for sale. 40 dollars. Take both for 70 total. Can also add a free pair of **** PT15s if wanted. Open to offers

Please see the reviews below. HE150 gets higher ratings than HE150PRO.

I tried old YINMAN 150ohm a long time ago.
However, the quality control seemed to be bad. The stamp on the R-L was reversed, and after 2 weeks of use, the driver's part had come off, so I returned it. Sound quality was not so bad.

So, why not buy new YINMAN 150ohm?

They right about HE150. After burn-in everything changes, the sound gets better for sure.The cable looks poor but it's not so bad,
On the other hand, HE150Pro cable gets tangled up a lot and it's very annoying.
Probably because of previous "bad" experience with the old YINMAN model, no one dares to buy a new model
The old model is also upgraded with a new white cable.

Welp, ordered the Monk Lite. Can't really refute the 10% discount voucher. Hope they're good.
-1 off my buylist finally.

Search gave nothing here but anything on the Shozy SG.

Penon only has a price, 32Ohm and 15.4mm driver that's it. Anybody heard it yet? Know it's signature?

I might try these on my pairs.

Spoiler

Looks really interesting.

Yup, if you want to reduce "kill" and mids for sure this is the way to go.

If that's gonna save some of my dry-as-hell "midcentric" earbuds by literally just "killing" them, then I'm up for that risk.

Also if that doesn't work I'll probably just give it to my grandpa for the old earpod-style earbuds he uses for his laptop.
