Earbuds Round-Up

Going to start grabbing some earbuds as the smaller AliE coupons roll in, but where should I start:

NiceHCK MX500 (2019 update)
FENGRU/TinGo TC200 MX985
NiceHCK ME80

Also interested in more thoughts on the FENGRU S300, and whether its presentation of the mids is worth reaching for ahead of these three.

I listen to the TC200's every night when falling asleep. And I've been listening to the ME80's as my primary's for the last few weeks. Get them both :)

I'm not familiar with the others, but they are probably good, so get them all! :smiling_imp:

Spending an amazing time tonight with the Smabat ST-10s gold/black and the Calyx M. These earbuds are very natural sounding. I get better layering, details retrieval and bass with my custom IEMs, but the Smabats bring this nice airy and delicate sensation into play. Still amazed after a month of use.

Browsed for a bit and placed an order for FAAEAL iris (clear housing/cable) and FAAEAL snow-lotus (clear housing/black cable). They're gonna be replacing a VE monk plus I had and really liked. What should i expect compared to VE monk plus ?

I'm going to, I just wanted to know where to start. :p

Think I'll just go with the TC200 to begin with.

The Calyx M is a warm yet detailed source, so I think that the pairing with the ST-10s is great, no complaints at all regarding the mediums.

How does the Turandot sound compared to the ST-10s? What kind of source(s) do you have?

I liked Turandot from the first listening, it has a well-balanced sound. Wide stage, warmth in the middle, emotionality, assertive weighty, detailed, bass and high as the doctor attributed. The sound is a little softened, no hurts the hearing.

Hey, I posted a comparison along with measurements of all the different Vido colours, the Yincrow X6 and the Nicehck Traceless on the Yincrow X6 review page to make it easier to reference in the future. Long story short, there are actually differences between the different models, more details in the comparison:

Would love to hear more impressions from others who own more than one Vido variant as well!

Right. This is where you should start:

BUY NOW, BUY NOW, BUY NOW, BUY NOW :ksc75smile:

Think I'll just go with the TC200 to begin with.

Or start there! Let us know what you think when you get them.

It's been at least a month (if not 2) since I listened to these but now that I have this nifty little USB-C DAC/Amp I decided to listen to my ST-10's. Man these things are good.

Plus their shape gives them an almost comfortable fit. Which for me is a problem with 99% of 15.4mm drivers.

How are they in terms of imaging and soundstage compared to EBX?
