Earbuds Round-Up
Apr 21, 2019 at 11:46 PM Post #41,641 of 75,375
Just by the look of the PK style shell I'll say your ears might be on the smaller side.

...on a side note, I heard a smaller ST-10 is in development for those with smaller ears. Similar with how they have done with Svara-L and Svara-M.


Hmmm. I do have smaller ears and the fit on the ST-10 isn't as good as my smaller buds (PK, ACG & EBX).


Low quantity of bass . I was just wondering because I’m tired of spent money and I always prefer apples in ear in terms of clarity to vocals you know ? I don’t know if there is something Better so that’s why I’m searching yet , sorry if it’s the wrong area to ask it

If you don't care about the quantity of bass, it's hard to go wrong with the Ourart ACG which is Mid/Treble/sound stage focused. The Ourart Ti7 is also supposed to have great mids but not as much Treble or sound stage.

Otherwise I'd suggest something like a 32ohm PK shell. Here's a few I have bookmarked:

Not sure what browser or app you are using on your device but you have some weird redirect link going on.
Code:

Ah. I don't use the app at all for links.

Open Aliexpress in chrome on Android.
Search or find the item you are looking for.
Long press and 'open in new tab' the item.
Copy address and paste into head-fi.
Delete the part after ".html"

Code:
Make this:
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32881765999.html?pid=000_0000_0000&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.000000&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=000000000

Look like this:

The redirect is caused by the awful viglink adware/spyware in the head-fi forum software. When someone clicks on a link in a post, it is first intercepted and redirected to the viglink website that tracks your movements and collects information to sell to advertisers. All of this is supposed to happen transparently for users, but it is buggy and often breaks the link.

I am immune to it because I use a Chrome extension that disables viglink. You can opt-out of viglink: https://www.viglink.com/opt-out/ but I think redirects still happen although it won't collect your data.

Thanks for your help


Seems to be a production problem. There certainly was one with the early Tinaudio T2s. My contact was loose without ever having removed the cable.

BTW, any of you needs warranty claim / contacts customer service can reach out to Smabat directly. Email is lh@smabat.com. It will probably be faster than going through Aliexpress reseller.

Finally gave in and ordered one Kube and one Sabia

Good. I think you will be happy with them. The seller ships quickly. After that, it depends on the mail system.

What color Kube did you get? I see that now only black or white are remaining.

So, I finally got my refund from the previous screw up on AE and decided to go ahead and order a couple of the buds form this store. So now the countdown begins for me to receive the Qian models, K's 32 and 64, Vido, and RW-9.

Hmm, I didn't see the RW-100 on AE, Im guessing they must be a new release

I got a few buds from that store: yincrow rw-9, k's LLB in black and Headroom MS16. Great service and no complaints.

I want to see those new yincrows though!

I have only read positively about them here, so i definitely hope they would be good

I ordered blue one

After all of the talk about different types of foams, I just wanted to mention that sometimes a bud can work well with no foams. I know people say that the Zen must be worn without foams.

This is a long way away from a Zen pricewise but the re-cabled Sony HPM-64s are best for me with no foams. The shells are tiny and the rubber ring that holds the shell together works to keep it from slipping. I have several of these now in various colors with various cables. All bought for prices ranging from £2 to £5. At some point I want to take a photo of them all together. This is the newest one... just re-cabled last week..on the day it arrived. The orange Sony HPM-64 with a nice copper cable. Very nice all rounder type bud.
