Anything new to come out in the past few months in the budget range that has a smaller diameter shell (Qian39/Monk Lite or PK2 type shell for example)?
Also are those silver Fengruu buds still one of the better ones for a brighter/clearer soundstage?

for small shell: NiceHCK B40, but it can be a bit fat for certain ears. Plus I've tried out a diy mx760 set few days ago and I'm quite impressed with it, you can buy it for 5usd but you need to get a cable separately and solder the thing. The shell is small just slightly larger than qian39. Also I've read about Remax 301 here recently, maybe worth a check too. I'm personally interested in Faaeal Z-sound, still waiting for some impressions ; )
I had Fengru Silver for a brief period, I wasn't that impressed to be honest the lower mids were very recessed, which rendered the vocals thin and brittle. Bass and highs are ok but not outstanding, the shell is very slippery and the cable is very short. It could have sounded better with some mods but the driver fell apart when I opened the shell. I much prefer Qian69 which has similar bass and highs while the mids are fuller with wider soundstage and the shell is very comfortable.
I had the original one about over 10 years ago and I still quite miss it till this day. So when I found out the KSC75X came in black, I knew I just have to own it again.
I wasn't aware that small shell equals front cover diameter.… It still sits more securely in my ears than an mx500 shell and the stem is half as big. But I agree it's not the most comfortable option out there.

Yes, the Mixx Tribute. About the same size as the Qian39/Monk Lite but much better sounding than both. £4 in Asda over here, I got three of them. My current favourites.

Yay! Glad we mentioned them. It was an impulse buy. We have 3 colors between us. Started out with the grey for him and the black for me. I picked up a gold one a few days later when we were buying food.

Mk1 8 braids. Mk2 standard and Mk2 mmcx
I ended up buying the new mk2 NV on Rholupat as it s the signature i prefer from the mk lineup. Mk2 NV is described as flat natural and brighter on the site. (Never tried mk3).
From your description i wonder if i should not have better bought the mk32. But i wonder if mk32 signature is more similar to the mk1 signature.
if MK1 is more lowbass and midbass dominant, and MK2 is more V shaped lowbass and treble dominant, then the MK3 is more balanced with more forward treble.
the MK32 is in between the MK3 and MK1, tilted more to MK3. it's more similar to the MK3, but has a bit of more bass boost, and better z axis depth than all previous MK
I'd say if you have the MK3, than though there's improvement, it may or may not be worth it to buy, depending on the person.
Quick question -
I'm using the **** Bk2, and for the price, they really aren't that bad. The fit with full foams for me is about perfect (14.8mm).
I'm looking to order another bud next week, but can't make a decision. I think I've just excepted that earbuds are a roll the dice, buy and try type of ordeal, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm looking at the BGVP DX5, Smabat M1 Pro, or one of the Ourart buds.
Fit is most important, and I want to wear them wire down. All of these are 14.2mm I believe. Secondly, the one issue I have with the Bk2 is that snare and kick drums sound a bit like paper. I'd also like a touch better separation, and a little deeper / wider Soundstage. Can anyone make a suggestion as to which of the above listed earbuds might be best for me?
