@H.L. : No worries, I just want to 鍛える my language skill. By the way, Do you know the exact meaning of 「ドンシャリ」 and 「メリハリ」? I often see these words in earphone reviews.
Hey I’m mainly an IEM guy but I want to get into earbuds.
I just ordered some monk+ and monk lite. But I’m wondering what is the recommendations for earbuds at the $25 price point? And at $50?
My source is my laptop, iPhone 6, and iPad Air.
Mostly listen to EDM.
I like the **** model that has detachable cables. Is that a good buy?

Thanks, I've been looking for Japanese earbuds thread for a long time.>>「ドンシャリ」 and 「メリハリ」
It is the term of the music industry. These words mean that both treble and bass are strong.The midrange is weak.
ドン = Onomatopoeia of bass
シャリ = Onomatopoeia of treble
Onomatopoeia of dog's bark
English「bow wow」
Japanese「ワンワン」

thx
Well I'm not buying a thing from this sale. Just bought @zeta555 's Poseiden.
well, that's definitely not my cup of tea.Here is my impression on Dragon 2+.(= SWD2+)
As far as overall sound signature goes, SWD2+ is just about neutral and leaning a bit toward the bright side. Bass is borderline average in quantity, and probably the only weak spot of the whole sound and definitely not a good choice for anyone who demands good bass in their music. mid-range is neither sweet nor distanced, far enough to give a sense of space but not so much that it takes away the texture. Treble is crisp and well extended, has good detail and fairly bright, but not so much that it becomes hash. The strength of SWD+, however, lies in its soundstage - it is not the widest I have ever heard (Rose Mojito still holds that title), but it is definitely the deepest. Most earbuds can render width just fine but not so much in depth, and thus soundstage tends to be more oval in the X-axis. Before SWD2+, the only other earbud that can render depth as good as width is the Blox TM7, which gives TM7's presentation a very 3D and life-like quality. SDW2+, in comparison, can also render this kind of 3D-rounded-sphere-like soundstage, but in even bigger size. That allows for a very immersive experience that no other earbuds (with the exception of TM7) can give, almost like you are in the middle of the stage performing rather than just a front seat listener. For that, it deserves a spot among the other flagship level ToTL earbuds.
On a side note, SWD2+ sounds fairly similar in either single-ended or balanced configuration. While bass does get tighten up slightly, it really doesn't change the overall tonal balance. But it seems SWD2+ only comes in balanced 2.5mm plug with 3.5mm adapter, so you should be covered whether you want to use it on a balanced source or not.

Perfect response thanksThe Masya is an incredibly good earbud, the Toneking TO400s goes just as deep but has more "punch" the Masya has a more airy top end. It's a bit like comparing a planar magnetic to a stax electrostat headphone really
Another choice will be VX Pro, also from MoonDrop. It has an even more neutral sound than liebesleid, but not as grand or refined a presentation. However, it is still an excellent choice for classical music IMO.
Hiya, the top link (cheaper version) is the one that nobody here appears to like very much. I do not have these so cannot comment personally.
The second link and more expensive ones are the 1st version, and are at about half price is the sale. Now I do have these and whilst members here have split opinions on this one, I personally do own them and like them very much (I have the clear shell with copper wire). I would recommend them at this price, but as others have shared their dislike for the sound I would not like to take responsibility if you end up hating them, so take my opinion as mine alone.
I hope this helps?
