Earbuds Round-Up
Sep 12, 2019 at 7:16 PM Post #44,671 of 75,573
Recommendation for earbuds with budget max $100 USD, with wide soundstage, not bright sound, good bass quality and quantity, in aliexpress...

-HE 150 ($15 USD)
-Smabat ST-10 ($99 USD)

I could not find appropriate earbuds at $50 price range.

Do you mean HP 150?

You prefer the HE non pro version?

I have the HE 150PRO

Weird..I just noticed the two versions have different shells.

No, I mean HE 150ohm. I modify the name and added Link.

I prefer 150ohm(non pro version) than pro version(I have broken it).
And I think that HE 150ohm(non pro version) is more appropriate for his request.

Hello all, if any of you has the headroom ms16, could you check if this sweep track starts with just distortion until it hits the 20-30hz? Mine does severely, wanted to check before getting a replacement. Also, if any of you has both the ms16 and the new B40, would appreciate a comparison. Looking for something with a little more resolution

Which of the current offerings of ultra-low budget (~$10) earbuds with the smaller shells (smaller than Monk+ type) have the heaviest bass? I'd like to try the smaller form factor.

Whichever will give you the best seal. Maybe take a look at the Ty Hi-z 150 ohm. Decent sub and mid bass for 20 bucks.

My MS16s sound fine with those tracks. Maybe try blowing in them first to reseat the drivers.
My MS16s are kind of old and somewhat abused. I checked if they were really open-air when I had too much to drink and blew too hard, and heard some bad driver flex.
They still run like champs though, and had no issues going the the sweep tracks.

Okie doki. I've decided I want a pair of mmcx that's good for wearing cable down, rather than over the ear. I like to use the wing tips, and the Ty Hi-z fits me very well. Again, rock and hard rock are my jams. Willing to spend 100 bucks. There's just too many to choose from, and no way to listen to them. The new Smabat M1 coming out looks about perfect, but obviously we don't know what they sound like. Really, I just want to know which buds with detachable cable are comfortable to wear cable down. What should I be looking for as to where the cables attach to the earbuds?

I would consider the HE 150 Pro. I have both versions and the pro is better overall sq, IMHO.

Thanks for your suggestion. From the photo, the Ty Hi-Z 150 looks like a mx500 shell.

Looks very much like the k's LBB, similar shell design. I think the bell series looks much more premium than this... The color is nice though.

It looks the same to me. The shape of the housing across the Bell series (including the LBB) are all the same, the difference is in the materiel (i.e. Bell-Ti uses titanium while LBB uses aluminum) as well as the strain relief.

The cable looks a bit bland for $240 as well. If I saw this product at first glance I'd say its the LBB v2 blue version.

Compared to the bell-ti and Ling earbuds which actually look like expensive products.

It's $240 right? That wasn't a typo? XD

Not a typo, it is indeed $240. You are right though the Bell-Ti uses pure silver cable, where LBB is either OFC or SPOFC IIRC. There is no spec on the new blue earbuds yet, except that it is 33ohm.
