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.

I think you are perfectly fine with your Ts. Not like it would be a night & day improvement in any regard.

You can catch up on Blur here and here. Wong's custom made models range from 16Ω up to 400Ω in either PK or MX shells.

Got the Bell-LB, not impressed by it...

I think the reputation of Bell-LB(LBB) suggests that LBBS has a very different sound signature.
The LBBS has clear treble and well-defined bass, and I think it has about 70% of the sound performance of the Onmyoji.

Probably, but it is the same shell isnt it? It doesnt fit me that well since it is so small and ligthweight.

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...

Thanks so much. You saved me a lot of money - now I can take my wallet and go home .

Thanks for the LBBS suggestion as well. For now I'm going to continue following this thread and enjoying my music!

We can't use too big shell earbuds by any means, but we can use small shell earbuds with double foams (donut on full) to make them bigger.

Its more because of the weight of it that makes it bad fitting. The Bell-WE is better despite having the same shell because it weights more and therefore feels like it is more "secured" in my ears.

So next, I'd like to recommend the ShoonTHESEP-01BL to you.
It's an earbuds that has a nice tight bass with a slightly warm sound.

You can find it at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32918777225.html

The price is US $26.90, but in my opinion, it has three times better sound quality than Yincrow X6 and I love it.

Wow how do these chifi companies come up with their naming convention?

I thought urban fun YBF-ISS014 takes the cake for an alphabet soup, but this one is even more majestically named!!

Maybe if it goes cheap at the upcoming sale, I will see if it can be gotten!

Probably won't be cheaper on sale, unfortunately, since it is sold by Penon Audio. I also bought it at the regular price.

You will need to order the cable separately for this RY4S Plus.

Did you not like this MMCX cable I recommended?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002103784716.html

I don't have the MMCX cable with mic, so if you want a different cable, please search for "MMCX cable with mic" in the Ali search field.

From the MMCX Earbud, I am thinking to order RY4S Black MMCX Plus version. Which is AUD $10 + shipping. And this above Cable + shipping . Total cost will be around $30. Is there any other cheaper cable with Mic? Also, if Plus version is better than normal one?

My Yincrow X6 is broken. The earbuds are fine but Mic is not working anymore. And Monk+ 3.5mm Plug is also broken. It still works but I can see the inner wires are as the above plastic is broken or something. Not sure if 3.5mm Plug can be replaced easily. I wud love to fix these two instead of buying new ones but not sure how to do. Especially Yincrow X6 as Mic is not working anymore.

One more issue I am facing now. My TP16 cable has become so hard now that it is difficult to wear them with comfort and especially roll and place them in the case. Is there any way to make the cable softer?

 

[FranQL]

you have this cable with acceptable reviews

I have the plus version, the normal one I have not tried, but for the price it is a very great value.
