Earbuds Round-Up

How would you compared them to the LBBs for the same genres you mentioned? Since it is my first earbud after 20 years I decided to try the LBBs first but I was also considering the Chaconne. Thanks!

I'll have a listen to both tonight and compare but my initial sense is the Chaconne has a much fuller/richer sound vs LBBs. It really is quite incredible how they present acoustics - shivers going through me earlier listening.

I'll wait for your comparison anxiously. My impression from reviews and opinions I gathered was that the LBBs having a fuller bass would be more engaging / musical. Let us know your impressions when you can. :)

Hard to rec due to fit and price, but if those are fine then yes Chaconne is better.
Most definitely concur. The Chaconne has critical fit issues for some people. The price is a tad high in comparison. And is indeed a specialist earbud as @Scuba Devils has said. A one or two trick pony only, so not an all rounder by any means. An amazing sounding earbud nonetheless.

The Chaconne fit but like mx shells, work their way out and I need to readjust. I saw a post on Facebook earlier with double foam - a donut with a regular foam over it. I decided to try and after some stressful manipulation of the foam, managed to do it! Makes a big difference and I'm not noting any negative impact to sound.

Using a silicon ring with a full foam over that might be easier and it may provide you an even tighter (wider diameter) & firmer fit.

Foams go over these rings quite nicely and much more easily than over a donut foam.

Thanks, yes I'll have to pick some of them up - I'll check AE!

How do they compare against Blurs?
