I've had my X6 for only a few days, but have enjoyed them as well. I don't use them for music listening, other than music that might be part of a video or tv show/movie I watch. I assumed I'd want to immediately jump into higher tier buds, but the advice upthread of simply buying more X6's as backups might make more sense for my use case.
I dunno...I'd like something with more "substantial" build quality (such as the RW-2000) and detachable cable, but I think I've decided that buying impulse can be delayed. I won't feel rushed to save a few dollars on 11/11, at least. I am curious to see how the Smabat M3 are received by ear bud aficionados when they are released.

As I feared (just a bit), the rope used to carefully descend into this new rabbit hole quickly broke and I am now starting to enjoy free fall.
Took the Smabat ST10s Gold out tonight. If earbuds don’t have to be expensive to sound great or even better than that, this also applies to portable electronic devices (to a lesser extent
maybe). The xDuoo X-10T II and the L&P W2 are the right companions so far, the xDuoo offering a PEQ, which works very well and the L&P W2 growing on me since a few months now. Enough power available to drive the 150ohm Smabat. Recommended source and dac/amp.

Just noticed one of the sellers on Shopee SG has listed a new option "White-S" which I'm guessing is the newer white version that has been upgraded to the same driver and tuning as the LBBs? Not sure how the cable will be like though and whether it will be like the LBBs with a nylon weave cable for the bottom half of the cable. But anyway, I haven't really felt the desire to buy more earbuds in a while now since I'm still enjoying the LBBs so much. Get to save some money during 11.11 I guess, but kinda intrigued about the new smabat earbuds though. The M2s Pro was really competent, and the smabat Proto 1.0 is one of my favourite pair of IEMs that I currently own.

Does White cable version sound better?

RW777 mk2 still a good choice or LBBS sounds better?
The most confusing thing is that people on Head-Fi call it "LBBs", but NONE of the vendors use that name!
This. Using search is easy (and doesn't involve further back-and-forth) but not when everybody's talking about some abbreviation you can't find. I've probably been guilty of it myself on Head-Fi, but lately I always try to mention full brand-name and model name/number for SEO, or even a link. Greatly appreciate uneri's Ksearphone list and links.

How to correctly identify LBBs on various Aliexpress stores:
- BellLBs no mic (NiceHCK Audio Store)
- BellLBs Black no mic (KRHIFI Audio Store)
- BellLBs-no mic (VS Audio Store)

To anyone that has heard a Rose Masya, would you recommend one save for the discounted Rose Maria 1?
Also, what other 2 pin 0.78mm earbuds exist?
In other news, I've ordered this DIY Earbud, a Tingoo TC200 clone but with a really short MX500 DIY shell, along with the much hyped Jcally EP05, I can't say I've been impressed by standard wired Jcally models I've bought in the past, but if this is as nice as people are talking about in the dedicated thread, I'm excited.

Impressions to come when it arrives.

Holy insensitivity Batman!
1Vrms drives them to 110 dB SPL and 2Vrms will bring them to ~116 dB SPL

Would be pretty damn nice, since I do have 34 buds. (and I am also getting the Astrotec Lyra Nature Limited Edition.)

No clue, there is a review on it here. But I got nothing from it. Maybe a Chaconne beater who knows, it certainly seems like it has a better fit and has an mmcx connector so hopefully it sounds damn good at that price.

@RikudouGoku i'm sure you read headfonics review, looks like it needs a lot of juice to shine, but comparison with EM5 is interesting and i consider back it as @Scuba Devils suggested me.

Anyway i think my fisrt buds will be LBBS, should be a good start
