I have 400 ohm drivers and I'm waiting to receive the 500 ohms. I wanted a comparison with TOTL earbuds like Yincrow RW, K's etc

Then I suggest going with heavy metal (not genre) shells, tungsten or brass,
not because of low resonance, but because of typhoons.
At least you'll be sure they won't fly away

Indeed, couldn't agree with you more. I listen to a lot of ambient and Turandot performed admirably.I see it @golov17. Totally opposite here in the Philippines where it's almost always summertime except when it rains or a typhoon comes and never winter. I agree. Turandot has never been boring but rather resolved yet musical. Then again people have different tastes, varying equipment and use case so only our own ears can tell.

Anyone here who have heard the Turandot? Which earbuds have sounded better for you?

K's Bell-Ti is way out of my budget as of the moment. This Blur where can I check it out? I supposed it is custom-made and not sure if I would want a high impedance earbuds since I don't use a dedicated DAP after I sold my stuff. Pixel phone + Amazon's USB-C mini amp or ES100 + SoundID App is enough for me right now for portability and convenience. My Turandot with the above setup + Koss KPH7G preset sounds very good - impactful, big bass and wide soundstage with smooth yet natural tonality. Listening right now to Alan Walker and some good BTS music.

Starting down the rabbit hole ... Based on RikudouGoku's reviews I got the NiceHCK MX500 which I like a lot. I decided against the Yincrow X6 because I prefer detail over bass. (By way of comparison, my favorite IEM for now is the Etymotic ER2XR. Musical preference is mostly acoustic, classical rock, singer/songwriter).
Of course it doesn't stop there so recently I ordered the Yincrow as well and, as I suspected, comparing the two I do prefer the resolution and clarity (to my ears) of the MX500. So keeping in mind the upcoming AliExpress sale - is there a relatively cheap (under about $30) next step up from the MX500? Or is this as good as it gets in this price range. TIA to anyone who takes the time to answer.

Unfortunately, I dont think you be able to find the upgrade to the MX500 anywhere close to its price....
If you want an upgrade in terms of higher resolution and better technicalities, I say you need to look at the Moondrop Chaconne to get a real upgrade. But you are also sacrificing some bass quantity to get that even with the Chaconne due to the MX500 shell fitting a bit deeper and therefore you get more bass with them.
So honestly, I would say that the NiceHCK MX500, NiceHCK ME80 and the Yincrow X6 (depending on preferences) are likely to be endgame for a lot of people that dont want to spend like 30x more to get a real upgrade...
I think you should try K's LBBS...

Got the Bell-LB, not impressed by it...
If this were so ... I would have left the world of buds the first week.
