It's funny a batch of T-Musics have all delivered at the same time. Mine hit the states yesterday and just delivered today as well. Looking forward to trying something new.

  It's funny a batch of T-Musics have all delivered at the same time. Mine hit the states yesterday and just delivered today as well. Looking forward to trying something new.

Listening through Madonna Immaculate collection cd and definitely a different tone than the rest of my stuff.  I am not sure if it just darker or duller.  Lol I know that is not a good word but seems like a relaxing non-fatiguing listen which I am adjusting to and enjoying.
 
edit: pulled off the foam donuts and it took away the veil/dullness I thought I was hearing.  Lost some bass though think I will try some rubber rings.
 
reedit:  had to go back to foam donuts because loss too much bass.  Now onto Monk+ donuts.  The brain is a crazy thing.  I adjust too the lower amount of upper mid energy because now my monk+ sounds shouty when I go back to it in my comparison.  I'm done with critical and just going to enjoy the listening. 
 
Final initial impression (maybe brain burnin or actual change after couple hours of use probably both):  Good Bass with Monk+ donut foams, good vocals although flatter upper mid energy,  not airy and not very big soundstage.  I am getting an intimate personal experience vibe.  I felt like I was in the studio listening to Fergie and WIll.I.Am  and then like I was at the front table listening to Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow singing in a small bar.  Different experience for $10.  I'm pleased.  Also, handles rap great usually I'll try one rap song with an earbud and give up.  Surprising me how its handling the bass without breaking up.  EricB and Rakim Never Scared sounds awesome.   One of my main burn in songs so Ive listened to the bass of it alot.

For budget earphones, what would be the go to detail option? I know the RX-1 covers budget vocal, and maybe detail too. Something like the HP180 is bassy to my ears and wouldn't be suited most likely. I'd prefer something not heavy handed on the ohms.

MAYBE THE HEAVENLY SOUND CADENZA

  New Budget Earbud Arrival:

The MusicMaker/Toneking TP16:

Sound - Like a baby Ting with a touch of the sub-bass from the Tomahawk.  Sound signature is playful while staying in the realm of neutral.  Soundstage seems to be fairly wide.  Build quality is really quite nice for the lowest priced price earbud in their range. 

I need to spend a bit more time with them, then I will try to compare these with a few other earbuds. 
 
Though, I will say, I love having a pair of the MusicMaker/Toneking earbuds with a microphone.

Oho! Maybe I will try these if the Edifier H185P doesn't suit me. Or even if it does! Looking forward to comparisons (and to getting the H185P and Monk Plus in so I have some points of reference).

I was interested in these at $10 until I saw the shipping price to the UK - $32.

I'm interested in the Ting again but don't want if it if it can't beat my Astrotec Lyra on crystal clear detailing!

 
I have Lyra6 and I don't know how different it sounds from non-6-Lyra but... for me Ting would not be Lyra6 details upgrade. Lyra6 has matured, full bodied presentation and soundstage distance is almost as close as in Red De'mun. Ting soundstage is further, like in Mojito. Ting is brighter than Lyra6 so yes - it sounds more crystal clear and it has very good detailing. I think you may want to have Ting if you want THAT sound but not to upgrade anything that you already have in your Lyra/Red De'mun. But once again - only if Lyra6 is not that different from non-6-Lyra.
 
Oh, and as music4mhell said - Ting is very musical.

So you are looking for brighter earbuds I think. AudioNewbi3 has already mentioned Good Sound Gadget's BlackBud Supreme. I have their 3 times cheaper model BlackBud Color and this is the brightest earbud that I own. More balanced but also bright with good details would be Black Onyx Earbud. Both are for about 30 USD shipped. From these two I would try Black Onyx first.

Weird that the UK seems to be the only place that doesn't get the free shipping offer. I could sell you mine at actual shipping cost to you. It would be under $10. PM me if you want. I do not use the T-Music enough that I can't survive a couple weeks waiting for another to show up.
 
Is Ting Green the mini-Ting btw? I wonder if that would be a budget option for @Saoshyant. I remember asking about the mini-Ting before but I forget what answers I got, I ended up buying something else.

Thanks vapman, I think I'll wait till my RX-1 arrive (hopefully within a couple of weeks) then see where I go from there. Generous offer, though.
