and so the yincrow rw-100 arrived, and I'd say it has IEM tier bass while having a comfy fit unlike mx500 shells, clean and reasonably fast too.
Just got it, soo look forward to more impressions.

It has less resolution than the qian 69, moondrop nameless still, but given how cheap it is, maybe that doesn't matter, the overall tuning definitely doesn't have recessed mids and highs like the nicehck b40 does (which I enjoy for mellow listening before bed, or youtube videos), but that reveals that the clarity and detail (beyond the clean sounding strong bass) isn't impressing.

ANy impressions on the JCALLY EP05??
Its 13$ on ALI and it include a 5N silver plated mmcx cable. Big ass 16mm drivers... Construction look great...it sell at double the price in other shop.

I'm very curious about these.

And i guess the Tingo TC200 is well known here too...get quite mass-hyped on NBBA group nowadays lol...t'was about time!
the JC10 is good and looks idential to the EP05 but without mmcx, the build and cable are decent, sound kinda like the qian69, but with less bass and slightly lower fidelity.

The EP01 however has fairly mediocre fidelity, pretty bad for the price and distorts at higher volumes.

I'm unsure if the EP05 isn't just a JC10 with mmcx, but if it is that cheap with mmcx and you really desire an mmcx bud, go for it.

Else I'd grab two pairs of the last of the qian 69 before they disappear forever, the one seller is reputeable and sound-wise they do everything better than both jcally buds I've tried.
qian 69 are surprisingly sturdy, I've had a pair since they came out, 2? years now?

Just put in my order! Ive been rocking the X6's for a couple of years now (lol) and i love them, but i wanna see what their high end stuff is like. This is their new "bison" flagship (according to my google translate app). Ill be comparing these and the Fiio EM5's, which i got a couple of days ago. It'll probably take a week to put them through their burn in period and get a real assessment.

I am looking forward to your comparisons.

So...i got the Fiio EM5 earbuds yesterday, and though im still waiting the manufacturer recommended 200 hours of burn-in time before i give my impressions -- my first thought is HOLY crap. I listened to these for 3 hours yesterday, totally lost in the music. In fact, while listening to recordings of some live performances -- these sounded so good, that i actually cried a bit because it felt like i was in the audience. Are they better than headphones or IEMs? They're different. The music feels like its living outside of me, despite still having excellent imaging, instead of feeling like its inside of my head so they're perfect for going about your day and not NEEDING to be 100% focused on the music. However, if you sit down and let the buds take you away...you're in for a treat. Seriously. Right now i can say that i would recommend these to anyone that wants to see what spectacular EARBUDS can do -- worst case, you hate them and return them.

Heres my question though -- these buds dont come with ear hooks (bummer, since i paid $300 for these) and so when i move around too much they fall out of place just a little (i have tiny ears..ear canals are normal but my physical ears are like a child's lol) does anyone know where i can get some ear hooks for these? @FiiO ? I tried putting some silicone ear hooks on these but all it did was make the sound SUPER SUPER muddy.

Alternatively, are there flat buds out there with ear-hooks that ya'll would recommend?
Personally, I prefer to attach the cable to a shirt clip to keep my earbuds in place because earhooks change the sound too much.

Pretty expensive...but interesting. Wonder if the bass is at the very least as good as the X6.
The huge price difference between RW-1000 and RW-2000. Both drivers use Titanium diaphragm, on the newer version they increase sensitivity from 110 to 112dB and lower the impedance from 24 to 16ohm, so more mobile-friendly. The frequency range is the same 10Hz-40kHz.
I don’t see any significant improvement that would justify the $100 price difference

good to know. I'm going to ignore the rw-2000 then.

doesn't matter for you, because the bass will never approach your z5! :)

hahaah yeah, I wont bother with it due to the price. But I still want the RW-9.

(and the Shuoer Tape pro)

Not much I want for this 11/11 on the chi-fi side.

I was going to buy a (supposedly) genuine PK2 but after the last statements here, I just gave up.
It is possible I end up ordering a Shozy XB, but I still haven't found any review on them.
