Is there anything better than VE Zen 2.0?
DQSM Turandot but this is a completely different signature. Less warmth and bass, but more detailed and more balanced.

Yep, basshead
If you basshead you should try
-Zen 2.0 300ohm - mid warm, need powerful dap
-Smabat ST-10 or ST-10s Gold 150 ohm (not Silver), - mid cold, gold better than st-10 green
-Willsound MK2 or KubePlus (from Indonesia)
-Ry4s Plus MMCX cheep option like MK2

Could you give a quick comparison of the technical abilities between the Rambo II and the ME80? How's their timbre, detail, imaging etc compare? It seems they both use a titanium plated diaphragm (as does the ksc75), so it'd be interesting to see what exactly is different.

Try reading this https://hiendportable.com/nicehck-me80-english-review/ and then https://hiendportable.com/isn-rambo-ii-english-review/.

I've ordered both but I still don't know if I keep both orders.
I have no earbuds yet.

Anyone in the US looking for an ME80? It doesn't fit my ears so I'm looking to pass it along. PM me.


Here's a measurement of the ME80 & RY4S I have. Both of which I don't actually use. These were measured with full foams.

Looking forward to that KSC75-Rambo II comparo. Thanks in advance.
Don't expect it for another two weeks or so, placed my order for the Rambo II on the 17th, and it still hasn't left China. I'll definitely post it though, I'm quite interested how good the ksc75 really is.

Are there buds out there with a different driver than a DD?

Or are there some reasons as to why the majority of them use DD?

There are a very few that aren't DD. @ClieOS made a planar one iirc.

The main reason is with earbuds, DD is the easiest to use and the most efficient. Plus many are easy to drive and match well with portable use, which is what a majority of ear bud users probably want.

No chance to make a decent BA earbud, they just don't work properly without a seal.
