It does look like it has a different driver so maybe not? Although the shell does look like a vido...Another Vido look-alike & sound-alike?

Not sure what to buy, I need an upgrade on my Qian39/DIY PK2/Edifiers. I also have some MX500 shell ones but I'm not buying any more of that shell, it's not comfortable.
My plan was to get Qian69s but they don't seem to ship. You guys seem to like SMABATs but I'm a bit hesitant to spend above like $40 or so because of the shipping problems we're having right now plus I'm not sure if that design will be very ergonomic for me.

I'll order those B40s but I also noticed that the NICEHCK store is selling Ksearphone Bell-LB and EB2s (I've linked below). Thinking of ordering one of those as well, are they good value for the price? I mainly listen to indie/alternative/pop-rock at low-ish volumes.

Can anyone identify these buds?
Can anyone identify these buds?
The cable junction of these earbuds is probably labeled "CRESYN" on it.
If you can confirm it, these earbuds are a copy product of the Docomo earbuds(drivers) by Cresyn(a Korean company) that I used to buy and have from China.
They sounded better than average, I think.
This product is introduced and sold in the following page. :

Hi! I'm planning to buy the Smabat ST-10s, the 40ohm variant. However, I'am kind of worried because I remember seeing a post here in this forum that the mmcx connectors were loose. Is that still the case now? Many thanks!

Can you guys suggest some earbuds I can upgrade to that is similar to the NiceHCK MX500, traceless or the Faaeal Snow lotus 2.5?
For referrence I dislike the DQSM Turandot, way too unnatural tonality and too bright for me (although that bass is good). I would like to have a similar signature as the 3 above but with better sub-bass (at least somewhat comparable to iems would be nice).
The smabat ST10s seems to have one of the best bass but I am not sure if I would like it since it seems to be a bright bud. L-shaped I guess would be preferred.
EDIT: A replaceable cable would be a huge plus, but NOT required IF the stock cable is decent. (Not like on the Faaeal Iris or the Snow lotus, they feel disgusting.)

Wow your good haha. I was trying to figure this out because this is what wong is using as a donar to make the blur 173. he is recablling them and doing a burn in and selling it for $175. He says they are as good if not better than the sw dragon 2+ and on the same playing field as the turandot.

If you're implying price gouging, here are some things to consider :Wow your good haha.

- just the material for a good cable can run 40-60% of the final price, not to mention labor to build the cable. Not difficult, I know, as I've built cables before, but still easily justifies another $10-15 labor to make the cable.
- there's also a premium that should be considered along the lines of an artist commission.
- wong's builds have been highly regarded for quite some time. If they aren't worth the price, the market would of priced him out long ago.
- reviews are not easy to come by, but well regarded head'fiers have vouched for his products.
Good enough for me. And I do not doubt his claims.

Yeah, you should probably get those as well lol! Actually, I don't have either of them, so I'll let others comment on them.
But if the form factor is okay for you, the ME80's are definite winners: NICEHCK ME80
