ah, if anyone can find a seller for Qian69 under $30 please let me know? i saw a couple on taobao but for $35-40...
 

  Honestly, I should try the Qian25 as well given how inexpensive it is.  Are there any top end bass-heavy (relatively speaking for earbuds) options out there for the 11.11 sale?  I could have sworn I remember reading that the K's 500 is bassy with an excellent sound, but can't guarantee I'm remembering correctly.

 
650 and bass boost eq/decent amp...

 

[golov17]

better vocals?

nope

 

[kvad]

  How are the mids and do you feel VX Pro are balanced or v-shaped?

 
Like Golov said, fairly neutral. Saw you got them already - hope they'll fit your taste!
 
Btw: has anyone seen any decent MMCX cables with mic?
Only one I've found is this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-1-2M-Oxygen-free-Copper-Earphone-Cable-HiFi-Headset-Line-with-Mic-Upgrade-Cable-for/32702653075.html?spm=2114.13010308.0.0.ztRdob

  Yes, same here. $150 is a good ball park He will get many customers if he changes the price !

But on the other hand Cypherus earbuds are made in very limited numbers. I would guess 100 pairs at most.

I'd rather pay $200 for a pair of great earbuds than $200 for decent headphones. Sure, you get a fuller sound with headphones, but earbuds has got the ultimate form factor for me and I want to find the perfect earbud for me. My earbud hunting right now has one goal: beat Blox TM7. If or when I find something that beats TM7 I will look for something that beats that earbud. I can consider up to $300 for earbuds as long as they deliver...
Qfred doesn't beat TM7 but is a wonderful alternative to it.
 
 

  That cheap HP650 is already gone, he removed it as soon as the sale started ...

Well, no HP650 for me this time...

Finally popped my AE cherry by buying the 
ROSE HYBIRD 1+2

         AND
 
SENFERS PT-15!!!!

The price was way below Taobao+11.11 offers! How crazy is that!

Btw, for the **** I got myself the green cable as from what I know, the "snake skin cable" (green color on Nice HCK's page) is the one which many Taobao seller claims to be utilized by the Sennheiser IE80. 
 
Do not know whether that is true or not but I got it because they are one of the softer cables around.

Cypherus doesn't only do earbuds:

Modded copper version of Xduoo X3

It's probably pretty expensive since the copper housing is custom made and the inside has been modded as well...

K's 500 are not bassy, like bass focused but they have a terrific bass. If I should compare with my full sized cans:
 
Seahf LD-3 400 - bloated and over powering bass like Fidelio X2
K's 500 - exact, detailed and engaging bass like ATH-R70x

 

[springbay]

  Well, no HP650 for me this time...

 
I could not resist - 600 SEK with plenty of coupons used at the seller we can not talk about.

Not too bad. How much discount did you get with cupons?

I ordered a few earbuds from

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

about 2 weeks ago. Is it that seller? I'd prefer to for the earbuds to arrive before I'd buy a new one.
