Earbuds Round-Up
Mar 22, 2019 at 9:47 AM Post #40,922 of 75,671
Just listened to MK2 Rev2. Overall, it's warm with slight bass bump and bit of bleeds (nicely textured bass btw). As your concern is mid bass and sub bass, EBX's mid bass is just enough for neutralish signature, but the sub bass failed the Sk8er Boi test to me; it's there but doesn't have enough power ('light') even with better seal. So, if you want the one with signature closer to the T2 or Kanas (mine is the regular one fyi), get the EBX, but if you want your sub-bass and don't mind with some general bass boost, go with the MK2.

Thanks for this.. or maybe i just try with willsound mk2 first since its cheaper. Is mid on MK2 clear?

how about Willsound MK2 vs NiceHCK EB2?

Or for half the price of the MK2 consider the Yincrow RW-9. It's pretty amazing at any price! It's my daily driver (got two of them) and an excellent all 'rounder. No need to change earbuds as I move between music genres.

Thanks for your suggestions, i dont mind the price of MK2 if i can get it better, i dont want to collect many buds, just 1 or 2 decent one, so i can chip in $50 or stretch until $100 max, but wanna get the best / performance ratio. Anyway thanks for that!

@DynamicEars
Get the MKII! It really is amazing, it's saved me from a lot of impulse buys...everytime I want a new bud I listen to the MKII on the Es100. Mids are clear, just a little recessed.

wow another one for MK2, great thank you

Mk2 is much better IMO!

do you have both? so MK2 really much better than EB2? how about their mids? clarity? Thanks!
*edit just saw your profile you own both! and nice collection! any other suggestion or MK2 is good enough?

Yeah, I have both, mk2 wins in almost all aspects, eb2 sounds a bit clearer IMO, to be honest I prefer Mk1, one of my favorites

would the ST-10 be redundant if I already have the EBX? since you mentioned the ST-10 being midway from TOTL to 2nd tier.

ST-10 will be more neutral tonally than EBX, but if you are looking for a very noticeable upgrade in SQ, I don't think you will find it on ST-10. Perosnally however, I'll rank ST-10 a little higher than EBX.
