X6 measured. RW-9 and LBBs up next.
@tgx78 you catched all buds i was lookig :)
I think i'll buy LBBS at first but RW9 and RW777 MKII looks also interesting.

I red @RikudouGoku RW2000 review and Yincrow TOTL doesn't look neutral... RW1000?

headphonics = zero trust.

LBBS is a damn good bud. Good pick.
Also Blue Bell looks fine...

Little Black Bell S (LBBS)
================

Tags: aggressive value for money, sound architecture like Onmyoji, material savings and must be Onmyoji, personal quantification could have 70% of Onmyoji's power. The density and control of the vocals are not as good, but the size summary is much more playful than the price range. They feel good to wear and are not too expensive, making them good value for money, whether you are listening to them yourself or giving them as a gift to a loved one.

Little Black Bell S This earbuds must be highly recommended now. Because the value for money is so obvious.
Between the quality of the music from the sub-flagship of the ear to the flagship, this price range is simply a bomb in deep water, firstly, not for the lower price range, and cuts the sense of range, transparency and resolution.
I think he reproduces more faithfully the tone, backbone and scale similar to Onmyoji.
Of course, those with extraordinarily good ears will be able to distinguish the soundstage, transparency and resolution or Onmyoji, but those with mediocre ears will undoubtedly be misled. My wife has normal ears and she can't hear much difference between the Little Black Bell S and the Onmyoji on certain songs on her mobile phone.
Then, of course, the quality and control of the hardware is still not as good as Onmyoji's, and the vocals are a bit thinner and less dense than his.
The overall sound reference shade reviews, tone and sound architecture etc are similar.
What is there is never lost. You can think of the Onmyoji as the Buddha wall of famous and expensive materials, and the Little Black Bell S as the Buddha wall of the chef's internal everyday cooking with humble materials.
Overall, these earbuds are the best push.
It is ideal for those who want to have a crossover expectation despite its entry price. The sound is well balanced and suitable for any kind of music performance
Very Very Helpful, thanks! Onmyoji looks like what i'm looking for :p

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.
I compared the Astrotec Lyra Nature LE to my FiiO EM5 before I gave it to my niece... they are very, very similar. The Lyra Nature LE's primary signature is best described as being "bright-clinical" with a prominent forward secondary characteristic and sometimes appearing sibilant and aggressive tertiary signatures. The only major difference is that the FiiO EM5 has much more prominent and deeper bass... yes, I found the Lyra Nature LE to be bass-light in comparison but it has slightly better resolution-clarity than the FiiO EM5.

EDIT: Oh, by the way the MMCX connector is nice to have but it is so loose that the earbud spins like crazy on it so it may effect 'fit' for some people.

Sounds like its in the Chaconne territory then?

Yincrow RW-2000 is bass-boosted neutral, with a mid-bass focus. No clue about the RW-1000, but the RW-2000 is the successor.


Start with the LBBS.
I follow your suggest starting with LBBS but RW2000 and Astrotec Lyra nature LE are in my mind…
Waiting for your comparison.
I’ll get TRI TK2 (1250mW) soon should be enough to drive all buds mentioned 😋

Probably be in time for christmas sale. :joy:

That is more than enough, I think even 500mw is overkill for buds. (high impedance buds needs voltage rather than current, so thats the wrong spec to look at for those.)

Yes, right smack between the Chaconne, Maria II, and EM5 though I think the Maria II or even the EM5 were better sounding to me but I think 'fit' was an issue with the Lyra Nature LE. I really want to try the Lyra Mini to see if that helps any as it is supposed to sound very similar (less forward and open though so it may be a wash).

Isnt it using something similar to the RW-2000 shell? That is pretty good in terms of fit for me...

Rose Maria II has less bass than EM5?
Also Blur 266 MX150 retuned or 189 MX150 new line should be great…

Yes.

Just so there is no confusion... the three (3) currently available lines are as follows:

Blur 189 Hybrid MX/PK (32/64/150/300Ω aPs; PK 150Ω; "189 Hybrid" cabling)
Blur 266 MX aPs Retune II (32/64/150/300Ω w/ Air Pocket Shell; 266v3 aka "266 Light Brown" cabling)
Blur 266R MX/PK Reference (MX 32/64/150/300Ω aPs; MX 400Ω non-aPs; PK 32Ω; 266v4 aka "266 Clear" cabling)
