Well, I pulled the trigger on the Final Audio E5000. I almost pulled the trigger on the Flares Pro 2 HD, but having the detachable cable terminated so far down was not desirable--plus they are out of stock. The Final seems to tick all the boxes I want in a portable form factor (extreme build quality with solid detachable cable terminals, very easy to fit my weird ears--no idea why people buy Universal iems like Campfire, etc. with those annoying ergonomics). I know the sound signature is pretty darn far away from the Shozy BKs that I love, but I have been playing around with my Final E2000 using my Fiio E17K, and I am extremely impressed at how well these respond when I turn down bass by 4db and turn up treble by 2 db on the E17K. Midrange moves closer to where it should, note thickness is still there, though pleasant now--not obese as it is at stock. Timbre is much more natural too. If the cheapo E2000 can scale like this, I have pretty high hopes for the E5000.
Unfortunately, there was no earbud style portable headphone that met my criteria, so I had to go back to IEMs. Still, I'll add a review here of the E5000 vs. the Shozy BK for fun if anyone cares to read it.

I haven't, but I gotta say they look somewhat problematic in terms of fit, and they don't have a detachable cable. I have owned other headphones with that type of form factor and it just took fiddling to get it to work. Now that I am working at home with my wife and kids, I need to be able to yoink out the earphone quickly, answer a question, etc. then put it right back in. I find these small bullet style iems or PK shells to be the most convenient for me as I can always find the fit really fast without thinking about it. Still, they look intriguing for sure! What's your take on them?
Somehow, I have found myself owning 3 different FAD headphones, though I only have 1 in my possession currently: E2000 which I ordered as sleeping iems since they disappear in my ears and offer some isolation that my earbuds don't offer. I ordered the Drop E500 for $17 since they seem to be a bit more neutralish according to reviews, and now I ordered their flagship in this series. I guess I became a FAD fan sorta overnight it seems haha.

Damn, that is a good price for the E500 since you are basically getting them for free (the Type E tips costs around 15 usd if im not wrong).

Any of you earbud guys have a VUNBUD or Sabia V6 you’d be interested in selling? If so, PM me. Thanks!
That's is the ergonomically worst earbuds I have ever own, bar none.
The fact that it doesn't sound good also doesn't help.

Any thoughts on OurArt Qj21 I was considering buying it but I'm not sure if I'll like the sound signature.

Is it just me, or do these look like rebranded Vidos? Judging from the looks at least. And Vido just realeased a clear red & blue version. Coindidence?

Maybe Vido is supplying the earbuds? The red and blue Vidos instantly got sold out here and I don't see someone selling it anymore.

Extreamly poor quality the Qian69 I received, the pads were dry like dust and dissolved when I put on over the buds. Don't recommend Qian anyway.

You should buy a pair of foams honestly. Hiegi foams are cheap, comes with a donut form and really good quality.Extreamly poor quality the Qian69 I received, the pads were dry like dust and dissolved when I put on over the buds. Don't recommend Qian anyway.
I bought earbuds once with bundled foams, the other pair was red, and guess what? They stained my white earbuds because the pigment was starting to fade away.
