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.

Might want to give the Hiegi foams a go then, in my experience they both increased the lower/sub-bass quantity and slightly brightened up the mids and high end. Penon sell them for around $3 a pack with free shipping, worth a go.

@ozkan , @springbay , and any other blutac users,
do you find it decreases bass response? hoping i can find a way to push mids forward a bit with some blu tac use...
 
BTW Hiegi foams are on Amazon Prime too. Just got a set of full cover Hiegi in black, 5.50.

got me Stardust in... thanks for the heads-up @kurtextrem they probably would have sat in my box for another week or two before I checked it

really like these shells (yuin-type right?), probably the most comfortable but secure buds I've tried so far

Hi everyone, just tried the Sony old HPM-64 with an extension cable, its sound is very good and fit is great. Now I will buy MH-500 to see if it's also good. Also, the recommendation from Golov on the Remax RM303 is also great but the fit was not so good and I have to use wing tip to keep them in place. It's fun to revisit the old time buds

Hpm64 apparently does not have a lot of modding potential (Iriyan of Bengkel Macro tried it and was not impressed before finding H180) but I am still messing with mine. I like the e808+ more though... just wish i could bring out the mids a bit...

I thought the Hpm64 SQ was pretty good, I thought it had almost a mini 3D sound stage when I listened to some songs. Is the E808+ from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-MDR-E808-Bass-Noise-Isolating-Earphone-3-5MM-High-Qaulity-Flat-Head-Earbuds-In-Ear/32742308384.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.DQ7HsG?
I will try that too...

That's it and I recommend grabbing it during the sale. I have 3 sets (one here and 2 on the way). I am going to recable at least one when the others get here. I will at least put a fancy plug on it if I can't bring myself to cut the J-cable off 

 
 
BTW - I put electrical tape over the triangle shape vents on the top. BASS BOOST!

 

[tintheman]

OK done, thanks for the recommendation, will wait to see how it is and try the magic bass boost

Hope you like it. I am gonna fill it in with blu tac when I get it in. Seems to bring out  mids a bit. My only complaint on this set is a little too harshly V shaped but that simple trick evens things out a bit . And gonna put a fancy plug on it, my case of gold Neutrik REAN 3.5mm are in the mail.
 
and one Switchcraft nickel plated for my Asura 2.0 but I may go all out and get Eidolic for it...

I know a few people purchased the Colarad C01, though I still have not seen any
thoughts of them pop up on this thread yet.  Colarad C01 - $11.90: http://penonaudio.com/Colarad-C01
 
I also did not see anyone mention that they got a pair of the HE 150ohm, so I decided to get a set and will report on them when they arrive.  HE 150ohm - $11.90: http://penonaudio.com/HE-150ohm-HiFi-Earbud?limit=100

By the way, that "splashy" sound from cymbals pretty much has gone away after 20-30 hours of use...
