Looking at your signature I see that you own (or owned, idk) a pair of E5000. I love these for Electronics. Pretty controversial IEMs in the community, to say the least (which is a good thing to me actually). Anyway. Since you are posting, may I ask you how did you tune the 32pro to sound « right for potential customers » or based on your own preferences? Not a FB member myself, I might have missed informations about that. Thanks.
Oh yes, it’s been a while ! Thanks for bringing that to my memory. To be honest, I sold the F3100 almost right away after the purchase. I was not really my cup of tea. Great with vocals, though. The current owner, a fellow head-fier, still enjoys the set afaik.
I listen to various music, but mainly pop/ vocal focus. The Newb pro is the smoothest earbud I have heard and probably the best for vocals. I agree with Mochill on impressions too. Wide soundstage, easy to listen to. This is listening with either my Violectric Chronos or Luxury and Precision W2 on my computer.
Here's some of what Ive been listening to recently:

I am a sucker for female vocalists and listen to a lot of the same kpop/k-indie/k-r&b artists as you here. Have either you or @mochill heard the K's LBBs? I think it's really strong for these genres. I'm now leaning towards picking up a pair of Newbsounds, but I'm wondering if it would make sense given I already have the X6 and LBBS. Would love something musical, bassy, a bit better resolving than the X6 in a MX500 shell.

That's.. pretty convincing. I might pull the trigger on that recommendation alone with all the overlap in our libraries. I love the vocal presentation on the LBBS, and I think the "thinness" might be perceived to me as airiness and clarity. But I don't mind having an option for a warmer, smoother, fuller sound. I also wish the LBBS had a touch more bass. Thanks for your impressions and insight!

I listen to a lot of old cantorial recordings from 1920s and 1930s. What buds would accentuate the vocals and smooth the grainyness, harshness(?) of these old recordings? Mostly there is just an organ or piano on the background

That is quite a loaded question... we would need more info to better serve you though please do note that this will be an extremely tough question to answer as generally transducers are not the correct tool for 'fixing' or 'cleaning up' old recordings that are poorly engineered and/or mastered.
When asking for a flathead-earbud recommendation the following data is extremely helpful:
source (using a DAC/AMP/DAP/PC/smartphone/streamer; audio file type including bit & sample rate)
preferred connection (termination type e.g. 3.5SE/4.4TRRS/2.5mm; single-end vs balanced; mic/no mic)
listening level & time (volume, and for how long?)
Still trying to get some consistency going with graphing earbuds. (20x harder than IEMS btw)
who has them both? does this measurement depicts what you heard in real life between the two?
5kHz peak is my resonance peak for the coupler. Pinna gain seems impossible to capture on earbuds.
This is a measurement supplied by Mr. Wong at Blur earbuds. I will grab a 4.4 -> 3.5 adapter and try to graph my OFC Blur MX64 STE to match his measurement somehow.
