Like I said a few times, I have no need to buy anymore earbuds.  
 
So.... I just ordered K's 500Ω - Version 2 (Balanced).  

 
 
It is one of @ClieOS Champions, so I am really looking forward to hearing it for myself.

  I don't have problems with IEMs as far as they are comfortable, in some sense Apple Earbuds are semi-IEMs beacuse they stretch a bit into ear canal. I just don't like "bullet" style IEMs because they are falling off my ears quickly and I can't have a good fit with those. The only way for me to have a good fit is to shove them deep into my ear canal which I don't like.
 
Because of that I think that these kind of IEMs are possibly good for me, they don't go deep into ear canal and they have secure fit :

If you want the sound to be directed to your ear canal from an earbud - there are tips with this form, I guess you may find the link if  you search through this thread. 
They can be put on most buds, but the question is how would they affect the SQ.

 
I tried Yurbud tips with earbuds and it messes with the sound as you can imagine - and not in a good way from my tests. But after cutting away the part that inters the ear canal I made a pretty nice tip to hold the earbud in place. I made a bunch of posts about this in the past.

  Jealous!!! I really want to try out the new iDSD. Curious if it could make me want to replace my current setup.
 

Well, I can't say if this version sounds better than the stock version. But for a portable size all-in-one Dac, amp or Dac/amp with many settings available, it can drive almost everything very well I guess.
 
Btw, I made 2 earbuds orders on 11.11, one is coming this week and after many PMs, the other one has just been shipped 

 aaaargh
Life is hard, life is not 'easy'.

Any thoughts on what is a sound difference between Sender PT15 and 1more eo320?
Same price range.

That guy offers blue, black and silver cables. Is it just color variety?

danneq My first 11.11 purchase should arrive today, but sadly not one of the earbuds. This one is a microdiver. Here's hoping the earbuds make an appearance in the US soon.

I can relate. I keep saying the same thing and keep buying along with more storage cases.

  All of those look like IEMs to me, which this thread is not for discussing.
 
I know there are some kinds of covers for earbuds you can buy that make it semi focused into your canal like the Yurbuds. Sounds like that's what you want.
 

 
 
if you want the IEMs like you link I would recommend checking out the Chinese/Asian Brands thread. lots of IEM talk there.

 
I have these (in red) and have tried them on a few of my buds: HP-650, Masya, TY 150Ohms, and Monk+.
 
 My impression is that they completely destroy the soundstage of the earbuds, as well as compressing the extremes at both highs and lows. It's a lot like listening to music through a tunnel... which, I suppose, is exactly what using these is. Would not recommend unless you're using them while exercising. They do keep the earbuds in your ears pretty well. You're better off using the silicone wings instead.

On the topic of 11.11 frustration- only one of my 11.11 orders showed up so far...

I didnt buy any buds on ali that day but i did buy on taobao who was also having a 11.11 sale of their own. So mistertao is responsible for all my 11.11 stuff

I didn't recommend these when I tried them, and now most don't. Honestly takes the fun away completely. Buds become IEMs again... PIPE SOUND. I Say no.

You can say that again. Well i got two of my buds. Rest still on the way. BTW I'm really impressed by how the TY HiZ 32Ohm have trumped... donalded? Ok, Trumped... my VE Monks and Benjies and stuff. Is the 650 one the best bud out there? Price is still very steep. But I'm curious.
 
I'd wish for at least CNC alloy shells at $110 hehehe... Maybe, if someone does it. TY, most of all.
 
What if we tried these drivers in the Auglamour RX-1 shells?

Just received my shozy cygnus today, its second hand but I am still very happy with them. I like the Cygnus in terms of their sound signature much better than the K500. Felt that the K500 was abit too bright for me. However, the cygnus does not resolves as much details as the K500 does and also loses in terms separation. Felt that the K500 bass was better than the Cygnus too. If the cygnus had more quantity in bass would be great for me. Overall, these earbuds really project vocals very well. I am just immersing in all my more vocal oriented songs now. Not to mention they feel much more comfortable because of its smaller housing! Now I feel the urge to save up for the Stardust but I need to save up for a DAC too, my wallet is gonna hurt.
