Hello,
My Vido earbuds just broke and I'm looking for a replacement.

Is there any recommended earbuds with sound similar to the vido but with mic included?

Thanks.

Can't beat a pair of FAAEAL Iris

How are they in terms of imaging and soundstage compared to EBX?

It's been way too long since I had the EBX, so I couldn't say.

Besides the fact that some earbuds if I hear a track with a door knock or other unanticipated sound makes me think someones knocking on the door or something is outside lol. Even though the sound isn't like what my door actually sounds like when knocked on.

Despite how ridiculous it looks, the OP139 actually works really, really well with this setup.

Spoiler

But even without this setup, the OP139 is potentially my favourite pair of buds as of now. Such a solid choice for the price.

The Ocean Pacific where s real surprise for me two and there price to sound ratio cannot be ignored great buds a solid purchase.

Ok, does anyone know a good upgrade to EBX with better imaging and good soundstage?
I used the EBX now almost 2 years and latly i felt that i want something with more details/imaging, decent soundstage, good balanced sound and again detachable cable.

What color do you guys use for your buds? I figure I will take red for right side but dont know if the other colors will just look ridiculous on the left (other than black).

I already have a collection of almost all different colors but I don't know why I only have problems with red, it often happens to me that they fall apart before I put them over driver cover.

Did you buy the one I linked? Sounds strange that just one color has issues lol. Maybe that particular batch you got is faulty or something?

I have one package from that seller and I had a similar problem with some packages that I got with the earbuds. Black, gray, yellow, green, navy blue, orange are all good

I often to right red left blue for buds. I think the only notable exception is white right left grey for Poseidon

Nothing coming up on google or aliexpress yet - just references to the iem R7.

I'm guessing it's only on taobao?

Yes, unfortunately I've only seen them on Taobao, unless someone else has seen them elsewhere other than you and me.

give us a review thanks

You must have missed my quick review on them back at the link below...

The MEMT R7 earbuds are well made, but since then, I have received and added more earbuds to that list of better sounding earbuds.

Just got the Nicehck B40 in today. Another excellent earbud for the price. I'm noticing that most of the sub $20 earbuds I've received all suffer from upper bass to lower mid bloat. They also tend to roll off a bit in the 1k to 3k region as well.

Obviously every earbud is different but this is the general trend I've seen thus far.

For the B40, I bumped down 125hz -2db, 250hz and 500hz - 3db, 1k +1db, 2 +2db.

Perfection for the price of a quick meal.

I should add, i picked up this earbud because of the mic option. Pretty good mic. Very happy and highly recommended.
