I decided to listen to my Penon Bs1 official today. And I still don't get the praise that it got. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent earbud, detail is there, as is good soundstage, but I found the bass to be severely lacking. And this is coming from someone who doesn't mind weak bass. Some of you might call me crazy haha, but I prefer the Monk plus and Toneking Tp16 to the Penon Bs1 official. I also like the Ubiquo Es903 better than the Penon bs1 official. Am I missing something here? Or maybe the bs1 official is not really for me?

You are not the only one, for me BS-1 was boring and I sold them. I also like a little more lows. For some, my friends who like metal BS-1 have sharp high frequencies.

This is my most favorite earbuds I've ever listened to, consisting of the Docomo earbuds MMCX head and the same MMCX cable (balanced version) as the Shozy BK.
The Docomo earbuds driver is also known as the original untuned version of the driver used in the Shozy BK and Shozy Cygnus.
I like the untuned Docomo earbuds driver better than the Shozy BK's, as it has more treble definition.

I know that about driver I had Docomo, I didn't like Docomo, Shozy BK sounds like tuned Docomo for me, I like Shozy more. It sounds much better to me.

My Faaeal Iris Commemorative Edition showed up today. Gotta say these are impressive for $7. Neutral-bright tuning with usual subbass rolloff, slightly above average resolution, average soundstage/imaging. Timbre is good but comes in very thin.

What impresses me most is the bright-ish tuning, which is rare to find in earbuds. Treble on this is pretty competent. Still sounds thin though, like most cheap buds.

For those of you who prefer a warm sound, I can see why you prefer the Shozy BK sound.

But what is the earbuds in the attached picture? it just looks like replacing the Shozy Cygnus cables with copper cables...
If you prefer the Shozy BK sound, why don't you attach a picture of the Shozy BK?

By the way, was the Docomo you used to have a true Docomo with a 4pole plug?
It's not like the Docomo copy of Cresyn that was discussed the other day, is it?

Where is your Shozy BK? If you prefer the Shozy BK sound, why don't you attach a picture of the Shozy BK?

The Ksearphone Nameless came in today, the earbuds someone surmised could be excess oem inventory.

These are excellent. I grabbed the package on the way out of the house, so I'll sit down and give them a listen later. Quick impressions are:
- really good tuning out of the box
- strong bass but doesn't bleed into the mids too badly.
- minor lower mid bloat, but really not much
- highs have good detail retrieval and extension.
- mids are on the warm side but not overly so because of the excellent treble.
- cable is cheap but has low memory retention, so I appreciate that.

first thing that came to mind is these are similar to the rw-9 but with better mids.

Best buds under $10 for me, by far
