Btw wild Lee has said he is going to stop selling ZOEs after December. These are really good btw

Do you think the "Pure Blue Cable for Omega Edition" is worth the $60 additional cost (with the 50% Discount)?
How about the "Oyaide102ssc for Omega Edition" cable, for an additional $20?
Thanks for any insight!

I got mine with the extra pure blue cable in 4.4. I can now use them with my dx200 with amp 8 and Sony wm1a. I think the blue cable is worth it.

It should be the same. I have Willsound Mk1 rev1 and Mk1 VJC and they almost the same, so you need to go for VJC!

I think the difficulty is that the Willsound MK1 rev 1 and rev 2 have differences, and MK2 rev 1 and rev 2 have differences. I guess I need to know if MK2 VJC is closer to MK2 rev 1 or rev 2. I hope that makes sense for anyone who can offer some insight!

I'll be honest, I don't hear a huge difference between the two, but the Oyaide is stiff and microphonic. The blue cable is neither. It's beautifully soft. To be fair, I don't use my ZOE on the move, so the microphonics and stiff cable didn't really bother me. I'm just a sucker for a great looking cable :) At least it also delivers.

Thanks for both comments!
I'm planning to order the standard 3.5mm TRS cable on the Zoe, and then get the blue cable with the 2.5mm TRRS. Then I'll have a set of 4 cables with the 0.78 pins, that can be used on my Zoe earbuds (and Biggies & Smalls earphones).
.
3.5mm TRS
2.5mm TRRS Pure Blue
[These two were ordered previously, to use with Biggies & Smalls]
3.5mm TRRS (w/Mic & Android Remote)
2.5mm TRRS Espresso

Remember I think you still get a free zen LL. They are decent buds in their own right.

You can ask Willy (Willsound) on a facebook or Adhi Rholupat

Are they the Sennheiser MX985?

Do you know if they are product in China?? If so, its possible its the very same driver....how would you describe the sound of original MX985??
Like, MX500 as well as DP100 are perhaps OEM too...but I don't have the original to compare them unfortunately. Anyway, they sure don't sound like a sub 20$ earbuds....right now its my daily earbud and MX500 just take the dust because of them (i know its unfair!).

Ordered the Ourart ACG's to try out. One of several MMCX earbuds I've had my eye on... which doesn't seem to go on sale (unless I missed something).

I've not seen too many impressions/reviews on them. Hopefully they're way better than the PT25's I have and take to EQ for the lack of bass/sub-bass if necessary.

I am gonna order one too. From my observation, Penon is usually not participating in AE sales.

I am also interested in BK2, but it lacks decent reviews.

The modded Vido (Master Wong Kuan Wae Deluxe Version) earbuds, that he chose to send to me, have arrived. They really do sound good, and he used a nice soft cable to re-wire them.

Those look beautiful.

second more in dept impressions of the OURART ACG - no sub bass(you will get tight and punchy mid and upper bass), the kick drums have no meat to them, incredibly fast, very high level of details(it can pick up the smallest nuances in the recordings), wide open soundstage, imaging with surgical precision, very transparent mids with a touch of sweetness, very good treble but a little bit rough sounding if the recording is not well mastered
i got them to be used on a desktop instead of full size open headphone for comfort reasons, overall they are excellent when i don't need isolation
