If you want cheap but good PK type buds (11.88 usd), I finally found a recommended buds called "DIY PK2 SR2 PRO 16ohm".
"SR" seems to mean SunRise driver.
This has clear treble and deep bass, so really sounds like SWD2Plus! Please try this with donuts pad.

Nice, looks like a cheap way to finally try PK shells! That graph makes them look pretty bass-y, have you tried them yourself next to the SWD2Plus?

@ClieOS has us all in a tizzy over those TM9 buds lol. They must have made a few sales just from his comments here. @ClieOS do you feel the audio power you wield??? ?

With great power comes great responsibility

If you try it, please tell me your impressions.
Burn-in seems to need about 24 hours.

Edit:
Burn-in seems to need over 50 hours.

My impressions are either I like them or I don't I don't do graphs or a/b comparisons or detailed impressions. My biggest test is if I get lost in the music and hours or albums go by...

You know I will like them

"SR" seems to mean SunRise driver, and "SR2" means new version. And "PRO" not shown in the graph means that silver plated cable is used.

Nice info~. In feedback tab, I see many Thai customer feedbacks there. Perhaps I could try one of someone else.

Thanks for letting everyone know. I just ordered. It is my first item in awhile. I hope the cable isn't stiff. The 2 things I am tired of are the MX500 shell and stiff cables. I have too many of each. I am glad to get another PK2 shell. Anyways, seem like a good value especially if recommended by you. From my time hear on Head-fi, I know you know your stuff.

Unfortunately it is a stiff cable. . .

That is Ok. They are inexpensive and sounds like a good value still. It cant be anywhere near as bad as my Zen black or Red Demun. I love their sound but their cables drive me nuts.

They are similar about the overall sound trend, especially with clear treble and deep bass.
However, the delicacy of treble is somewhat inferior, and the sound stage is a little narrow.
Well, the price is more than 30 times different. . .

I expect their feedbacks.
Perhaps my feedback might be the case of my personal thought. . .

 

[DBaldock9]

What is their cost in comparison? - I guess the fit is much more comfortable too....

The EBX is ~60% the price of the custom Blur hALF/hALF.
Since I always wear my earbuds with the cable over the ear, the Blur (MX500 shell), and the EBX (custom metal shell), are both comfortable to wear.
The MX500 shell is shallower than the EBX, so if you're lying down, the Blur may be more comfortable.

Very sorry!
If you do Burn-in of "DIY PK2 SR2 PRO 16ohm" more than 30 hours, the outline of the sound became to be blurred.
This is useless!
It became the sound of 1 usd earbuds…
I will continue Burn-in a little more, but I can not expect too much.
Again, very sorry!
If you like a pretty sweet sound, you can use it, but it is different from the sound of SWD2Plus.

Edit:
Burn-in seems to need over 50 hours.

Edit;
2018.11.10
Now I recommend DIY PK2 SR2 tpe 16ohm more.
