  Sorry about it being off topic, but @ClieOS do you have any thoughts on Rose's new 5 BA IEM?  If it can hold up quality-wise to the Mojito...  I'm awfully tempted.

 
No idea.

I've seen them get down to around 190-195ish on ali (I never check taobao), that's when I got mine, and stores usually have coupons for if you spend x amount of dollars with them, so I was able to redeem another $5 coupon and knock $5 off.
 
@Saoshyant let me know if you end up going for any other Rose gear. I miss the screw out of those Mojitos I sold you. Hopefully they stay on the market for a while! I totally wish I could hear them with my PETEREK cables...

I'm debating the 5 BA Rose, but it's not exactly cheap.

I grabbed a brand new set of Sennheiser MX500's in case I botched my old ones when modding them, but everything's gone well it seems, so I have a brand new set of MX500's if anyone's interested.

MX500 has been unofficially reproduced by a Chinese company under a new name, partnering with the original OEM (Foster Japan) for Sennheiser no less. I compared the new model to the original MX500 and they are just about identical. Not meant to rain in your parade, but there is not much reason get NOS MX500 anymore when there are new one out there.

Have they been tested/measured? If they have been I'd buy half a dozen right now.
I knew they existed but assumed they weren't legit.

No, haven't seen any measurement on it. But it only cost less than $10 on Taobao so you can easily pick one up and test it out yourself.

I've been having fun with some budget buds lately and I thought I would do a special shout out for these.

They pair up very well with my Samsung S4 and FiiO M3.  Big controlled bass / Decent Soundstage / Good Detail / Fun Signature.
 
These are one of the best earbuds for the go.  The version I purchased has the microphone and volume control.  I do not have to take my phone out of my pocket to stop, or adjust the volume on my walk to work each morning.  Really impressed by these.
 
(BTW, I use VE's Light Foams for almost all my earbuds now, they are awesome).

I use VE Monk+ thin foams with all of my earbuds :)
No more heigi foams. And truly it's a game changer.
