Tried the Smabat only a couple of hours so not really intensive. I can't use earbuds for critical listening where I try to discover every single piece of information. The earbuds are ok for casual listening. I gave up a while ago with the IEM because of the hassle with the tips and sealing or should I better say, no sealing. The P1 is ok but I am still in the process of playing with and finding out the right tips. In real, I don't think I will try real hard for. Too much try and error.Have you tried any earbuds that can seriously rival the Mee P1? The P1 has been my go-to for ages, and a few months ago I bought a smabat m1 to try out. Its OK, but it is no competition in regards to clarity, seperation etc. I've been warned about the big drop of diminishing returns with earbuds, so I've held off from purchasing any TOTLS to avoid future disappointments, but I'd love to know if youve experienced anything that can rival it.

Nice find. To be realistic, here only a shell with mmcx is worth 15$. It is difficult to expect that the sound, ie. driver is good quality. Anyway it's worth a try

PT32 was pretty interesting with its semi open design. Crazy wide stage let down by woolly bass and general mushiness. Great price for a mmcx bud though.
Smabat M2 Pro - modular design, looks very interesting

Finally received the Faaeal Iris CE yesterday. Not sure if it's unit variance but I find mine to be a bit too warm and veiled sounding when using full foam. Even for donuts it seems to "thickens" the lower frequencies too much for my taste. Without foam they sound good though, fuller sounding compared to the Traceless I think. cable is not bad though, just a little sticky for my taste.

Monk lite 120 ohm without foams sounds like hd600, tonally.
Just got them in. I don't have many headphones (all closed) but these sound the most headphone-like out of all the earbuds I've tried thus far. If I got these earlier, I would of skipped the Smabat s10.

Man, I’m loving the NiceHCK ME80.
These are the favorite earbuds I have tried by far. Great fit, meaty bass, clear mids, nice metal build. I wish they were mmcx however.

Second this! I've not tried that many yet, but so far the ME80 is still my favourite sounding pair. And probably my favourite looking pair too! For casual listening at home, I enjoy these more than my ER4XR. :/

You all have inspired me to dig out my ME80. I have rarely been listening to any of my buds over the past few months, but these are a treat.

FiiO new earbuds on the way!
This is reminiscent of the phase correction tube. But I don't know if it makes sense to put this tube behind the driver at allFiiO new earbuds on the way!

The FiiO tube is just like the vent tube on a typical bud. They just routed the tube with a gentle radius for a unique look.
