I got the "black silver mx500", not sure if the other colors are the same sound wise but the PK1 is different so be sure to pick the right one.

You say "but the PK1 is different so be sure to pick the right one". Strange that they all say "PK1" in the description, so yes, you do have to be careful.

Anyway, all of this MX500 talk forced me to buy a pair. To be safe, I got the "black silver" as well.

I have the pk1 version. Well, unless I got a faulty pair, they sound bad.

My favorite from that pack is of course Tingo TG-38s. One of my favorite earbuds. Need some burn-in time but after that ... you will enjoy it.
Can be sibilant on some songs but rarely, the sub-bass and bass are tuned beautifully, and highs are not offensive, only I can tell ... nice details.
MX500 silver shell is not cheap plastic but some kind of aluminum-plastic alloy, only on the original model. Can you do a close-up?

Since it does have a different shell shape, it will sound different from the mx500 version.

Yup PK1 is a smaller shell for 14.8mm drivers. It has good ergonomics so it fits better in the ear compared to MX500 which is for 15.4mm drivers.

NiceHCK really should separate their listing for the MX500 and the PK1.

Sennheiser (MX500) and YUIN (PK) have set a standard for earbud shells.
Anyone who uses them can rarely go wrong when it comes to ergonomics and interior design for airflow
Also, we can count DP100 and Docomo shells in this group. For me, Docomo is the most comfortable and provides the best sealing.
You’ve probably noticed yourself that many manufacturers rarely stick to the same shell design for new models, which I don’t like.
Some models deserve to be kept with possible small changes. On the other hand, you can often see some strange shell shapes that,
no matter how good they sound, destroy the overall impression, and experience with poor comfort.

yeah, dont change it if it works should be applied more.

But I do think having more shell types will make it so that more people can get a good fit, as everyone has different ears.
(for me the mx500 shape fits the best)

Hey everyone, haven't been posting as much lately. I have to set up an old laptop with a light dev environment in order to continue generating more compensation files for earbuds. I hope to get that up and running in the next couple days.

Have a great weekend!
