I highly recommend this brand. Never had a dud and they seem to fend off dry rot well. Probably a slightly different material used (or maybe finishing spray applied) than all the other brands I have experienced.

I was going for Rosemary 2.5mm version initially which is supposed to have improved bal cable- but reviews said that cable is stiff.
On the regular version I got, cable is soft and braided up to Y-split. Splitter is securely built and jack has nice metal plating.

Does hiegi make any colors other than black? I like the VE EX pack due to the inclusion of red/blue foams so I can differentiate between right and left at a glance. If they only come in black that’s fine, I’ll still likely grab a set to try but thought it was worth an ask

if you have Daiso store near you, you can purchase earbud foams there that are thick like Hiegi's, and usually sold in packs of red, blue, and black.Does hiegi make any colors other than black?

Well, rip ME80 I guess.
They just told me they have stopped production on it and told me to get other buds instead lol.

Of course, DIY 130 and 600ohm, and I did some test for 130ohm driver with different shells. You can find in my inventory links marked #1, #2 etc.Have you heard any DIY buds with BE coated? BE and Titanium shell is Lethal combination?

You can replace 3.5mm with 2.5mm plug (you still have 4 wires inside cable which is enough for balanced version)

This shell is much more comfortable than the previous Audio-Technika "like" shell. But they still use a driver with cut low end and 128dB sensitivity.
They can easily put any chip Ti driver to complement shell material
Anyway...the build looks good so for this price I think is fine, and later you can always swap the driver with some DIY version, and you will get a good pair of buds
with nice build

Thank you for your effort, friend. It was definitely worth a try and now we know for sure.

Guess we need to find an upgrade or an alternative that's similar to it.

I need to see enough reviews before even considering it as an option. I bought the EP05, and in my opinion it's not a good buy, even considering the low price. For me, the RY4S Plus is much better. The sound is extremely in your face, and soundstage is much narrower. Face to face, the RY4S could seem as more laid back, but it's only that it has a more spacious presentation, more air between instruments and, globally, a more refined sound, where even the bass is miles ahead, in quantity and quality.
I also gave the EP05 the benefit of 50 hours of burn-in (not particularly a believer but, given that it's free...) and nothing changed, it is what it is.
In the (I hope) near future, I have high expectations in M3 being what M2 Pro finally wasn't.

So no positive answer? Probably the main reason is recently released flagship, It's now their primary production.
Ok another time. After all, it is not up to us to interfere in their politics
