The "good version" of LBBS is back in stock. For those interested...

Thanks for the update! I just ordered one although I couldnt get it down to the $25 I saw someone buy it at before :beyersmile:

For someone that loved the **** bk2. What is the best replacement for the same price? Mine broke and can't find them anymore.

The one that comes to my mind now is the RY4S Plus. MMCX just like the BK2 and as for the sound signature, it is warmer than the BK2 but not by a whole lot. If you're looking for something that has a similar shell to the BK2, then the ME80 is what comes to mind. Unfortunately also pretty hard to come by these days, apparently. Also, the ME80 is non-detachable.

Perhaps one of the newer Smabats, then? M0 & M2S Pro, iirc. I haven't tried any of them though, but reports here suggest that they're pretty good with the right driver config.

Hope this helps.

I haven't heard them but maybe the openheart earbuds?

Toneking also has several versions with different impedance that are a similar form factor.

@RikudouGoku Looking forward to your impressions on Timeless, measurements are quite close to my ideal. The specs look suitable for my Shozy Alien (gold), and the sound should blend nicely with the Alien giving the lower mids more meat. My DX120 should also be a good pairing keeping the bass tight and adding a bit of presence to the lower treble for a sharper harman curve.

Finally my me80 arrived, first impression is WOW soundstage (I'm using it without the foam), sound quality wise is pretty good especially with vocal. Thanks to @axhng for the discussion over me80 on his YouTube channel.

i find that the bass normally tends to suffer a bit without foams, so if you want a bit more bass, but don't really like using full foams, donut foams could be another option! :thumbsup:

listening to Main Squeeze's covers with them now :L3000:

When I was younger I was always plugged into my EarPods, or just one Pod with the other hanging off my ear. Nowadays comfort is huge for me and I can't do most buds. Shame since I like how some of them do soundstage. Also not surprised to see that the EarPods measure decently.

From what I've seen the Smabat M2s Pro isn't available with a mic, does anyone know of a good mmcx cable with mic for the Smabat M2s Pro? :)
