I'm quoting myself since I've been going back and listening to all my earbuds again and have to say Fengru Silver are on another level. I never really gave them much of a chance since I had ordered a bunch of earbuds around the same time and kind of hated the cable, but they sound great! Punchy bass, nice vocals. I noticed they have an mmcx version. I'm thinking about picking up the gun-metal colored one and a cable from XINHS and calling it my end game earbud. I'm going to listen to them for another week or so before pulling the trigger.
For people curious about MX500, Chaconne, and LBBS fit, I made some diagrams that I hope help. The LBBS fits me best, then MX500 fits me good, Chaconne is a bit of a struggle. The main reasons for the Chaconne not fitting as well is because its housing does not have any contour past the face plate to better rest between the intertragic notch of my ear. In addition to that, the weight of titanium + the long stems torque the housing away from the ear too.
Indeed the Chaconne was not user friendly to me, though I must also blame my utter ignorance. Thankfully, they stay quite well in place now, using a similar position than yours. My ears are different and larger, so the stem is perhaps just slightly lower-but I use the tragus as a guide to fit them, now done easily by feel (nozzles touch tragus in an specific way I feel with my index fingers.)
Was trying to wear them in ways all sort of wrong. Too used to IEMs, and not many earbuds in my music listening life. Made my ears sore at times! Now it is more "shoot and forget" as initially expected. Took a while, though.
I am waiting for the rings and the HIeGI foams on the mail (ordered through Amazon US for faster service.) But at least the Chaconne are usable now. Gotta say I am concerned the foams may kill upper mids/treble from what I have read. I am not treble sensitive, and do not find the Chaconne bright or offensive with the stock foams. But if the fit is perfect and snug, it will perhaps be worth it. Otherwise I can always use the stock foams with the rings.
Completely different model now with different driver, cabling, and terminations plus time explains the increased cost.
Please note that your particular model was specifically made to offer beginner earbud enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the Blur house sound at a lower price bracket. It was considerably lower in price to the other higher tiered models at the time.
A PK sized 32ohm driver is now only available via the 266R Reference line:
