Interesting, some first impressions from someone who bought the NiceHCK B70 Waifu earbud:

Anybody bought this? I gave it a miss this round, but tuning looks quite promising.

I had not heard of the Linkbuds and I actually just received some response on the other thread, and the LInkbud was mentioned and recommended. They have an intriguing design and I will look into them. One commented that the Linkbuds were more balanced sounding than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and considered the latter more V shaped.

They are fairly balanced sounding, which is counter to their normal "dark" signature. I have not heard the Buds Live, but can believe that they are V considering they were made for the masses (which is to say more of a Harmon FR, which tends to be a V). Nothing wrong with that if that is your thing though.

Creative Aurvana Air is my recomendation

I still can't find those here in the US... If I DO find them (not on Fleabay) I will most likely be getting them, especially for the price I am seeing them in Spain new ($47).

• preferred shell and foam-cushion type I like the classic grill look (Sony MDR-E series, like the MDR-E 262 for example), and I love thinner, but more thicker/dense foams. I'd like to know where can I get those, if you can help with that too, I'd be pleased.
  Thanks in advance

A number of us highly recommend the denser Hiegi foams... I never had a dud and they seem to fend off dry rot well. Probably a slightly different material used (or maybe finishing spray applied) than all the other brands I have experienced.

Always a pleasure to receive Hiegi packages in the mail!

Heigi are my most favourite earbud foams, but I have been trying to find a shop that sells them in bulk.

The 12 in this packaging is not enough! Anyone knows where to get mooooooooooore in a package?

I have never seen them offered in larger quantities than this. If you do happen to source a large count package please do let us all know!

That is all that I have seen them come in as well...

I know that Penon sells the Hiegi foams - so you might contact them, to see if they can offer a bulk ordering deal.

I just added a sound chart to that previous post that may better illustrate the sound signature.

Thanks for the chart, very useful! Also for the foam ideas. The right foam can dramatically change the sound to the better, I have experienced this phenomenon firsthand.

If anyone is interested in EBAY refurbished Linkbuds, I just posted this on the "Deals" thread as well.

Sony LinkBuds Truly Wireless Earbuds $82 EBAY REFURBISHED / MRSP $180
https://www.ebay.com/itm/313939292787

These are the earbud style, not the "S", IEM version.

Stoked! Is the EM5 any good? I heard it was inspired by the V99.

I love the EM5. Others are not so impressed. Suits my music collection perfectly @nofarewell

How are they, vs B40 or EB2S?
