Just make sure you are getting a cable that is compatible with your phone, apple phones(not sure on their dongles) use a different CTIA standard than everyone else making otherwise good cables have very quiet audio. I know this issue has come up before with reviews of the NiceHCK blackwheat cable.It looks nice, great tip. I'll keep a lookout for when you've made calls with it.

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!
listening to Main Squeeze's covers with them now
I don't feel the bass is lacking without a foam, I find it sufficient enough to bring the music alive. I've been testing it with this tracks
But you are right, they aren't meant for metal music such as this one, as it doesn't have that "very engaging" sounds.
But in the end, I'm a happy camper.
nice, glad you're liking them! Earbuds are kinda great for those live recorded albums like jazz at the pawn shop.I don't feel the bass is lacking without a foam, I find it sufficient enough to bring the music alive. I've been testing it with this tracks

Definitely is, but I still need to get used to with "earbuds sounds" since I'm coming eIEMsnice, glad you're liking them! Earbuds are kinda great for those live recorded albums like jazz at the pawn shop.

Ordered some more MMCX ends and another LBBS. Gonna convert another pair (or two) to MMCX as well as their cables. I'll be able to compare after I'm done.
The pair I just did had a bit of channel imbalance which is why I sacrificed it for the sake of experimentation with different drivers.

I ordered an LBBS too due to an overwhelming feeling that I was missing out on something monumental… 
I kid. I kid (but I’m also sort of serious).

i dont think i mentioned it in here but i canceled my LBBS order and just said frick it, bought the bell ti pro.
so right now the buds i can offer impressions of would be:
Chaconne, M2s Pro Stock, M2s Pro golden 150 ohm, M2s Pro Super One (on the way), LBBS, Bell Ti Pro (on the way), X6 w/ mic, ME80.
i am like 95% sure theres no way the bell ti pro can actually offer even the discounted $525 price worth of performance but I'll let you know, since there seems to be no real english review of it haha

hi
anyone can give impressions about sen-fer pt2021 ?clieos massaged me before that it is the very analytical earbud that close to mojito. i need more info about soundstage wideness,sound harsh or not or thin sound as before sen_fer models
thanks.

Awesome price points there gents, considering what the debut and introduction price was set at for the 2021 K's Temperament 钛铃 Bell-Ti Plus back when it launched.
Although, as we all know and freely admit, diminishing returns happens rather sooner than later in regards to earbuds, I do offer another perspective to consider... the particular signature and tuning offered by Ks god-tier level bells is quite unique, unlike anything else I have encountered. Therefore, if this signature and tuning matches your tastes well, coupled with their exceptional comfort with certain ear types, it may very well warrant the price.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you both that K's QC is much better on this batch of bells. Thus far, I haven't seen any confirmed issues being reported on any of the Chinese boards so that is a good indication.
Additionally, they are also feuding with one another regarding this alleged "power hungry" nature as the 30Ω driver's sensitivity is rated at 106 dB/mW which is not very difficult to drive from an Ohm's Law standpoint. Apparently, the shells have already been opened and thoroughly dissected (sacrilege!
heretics! 
) and it is reported that there appears to be no physical or electrical dampening that would explain and/or support why these drivers would be difficult to drive and/or power hungry as reported. Ks themselves, when launching the Plus at the 2021 3rd China (Chengdu) International Headphone Show back in May, introduced these as a mobile solution earbud... maybe further proof that the Plus are not as power hungry or difficult to drive as some attest them to be. I sincerely look forward to hearing both of your thoughts regarding this once you receive them; we await most patiently.To reach 120dB SPL it requires less than 1Vrms and 30mA! Two (2) volts would drive these earbuds to well over 127dBS SPL and at ~66mA which may very well be way beyond the driver specs for max current capability (which is probably around 50mA if I had to hazard a guess as most 16Ω & 30Ω drivers are rated as such).
To reach 110dB SPL only 0.275Vrms is required @ ~9mA.
To reach 100dB SPL only 0.087Vrms is required @ 2.89mA.
And to drive these earbuds to 90dB SPL you would only need 0.0275Vrms @ less than 1mA.

What's a X6 upgrade these days? Looking for more detail
I also have K´s LBBS, but if without EQ I think the X6 true upgrade with more detail is the Ostry KC08T.

My Apple earbuds broke so I'm thinking about getting some cheaper earbuds that are better. How's the mic quality and fit of the Faaeal Iris 2.0? Can it be easily run directly connected to the laptop and Apple dongle to phone? I have small ears and the Apple earbuds fit well enough to me, though sometimes my ears start to hurt after a few hours of wearing them.
The Faaeal Iris 2.0 uses the MX500 shells, so it will probably be too big for your ears.
For you, I recommend the NiceHCK B40 with Mic, which uses the smaller PK shells.
