After some patience on eBay, I got a pair of the HDD-1 with the red film driver, for only 5GBP!!! I originally bought a pair of an Italian seller but they were not the ones I was looking for (he claimed it was an Italian market pair). Glad to finally get a pair of these, I love em.

Yes the akg/samsung earphones included with Galaxy phones are pretty good for free. They are a tad bright but have decent tonality and qualities.

I prefer x6 as it's not as bright and more natural sounding to me.

Just out of curiosity, are the Yincrow x6 or rw-9 much better than the free earphones on the samsung s9 and s10 or even the Sony MH755? in terms of resolution and timbre?

Sadly I don't have any of the Yincrows, but for what it's worth, I do have the Samsung AKG earphones (USB-C version from Note10), a re-cabled MH755, and the ME80. To my ears at least, my vote goes to the ME80. But take with grain of salt I guess, since there is always a possibility that my DIY re-cabled MH755 sounds different (upper mids is a bit thin & shouty for me), and the USB-C version of the Samsung AKG earphones sounds a bit too bass heavy and warm to me. I used to have the s10's earphones as well and IIRC, the S10's 3.5mm version is more balanced compared to the USB-C version, and a little better when it comes to details.

NiceHCK B40 rank A.

L-shaped

Bass is amazing. Mids and treble are also pretty good. But the tonality can be a tiny bit too warm, treble air isnt as good as on the MX500.
(They pretty much trade treble air for bass quantity/quantity.)
And is pretty much inferior to the Yincrow while having a very similar signature (bass/treble extension is better on the X6) at around the same price too.

Build is a little bit rough, so its a bit uncomfortable.

K´s earphone Bell-LB rank A

Less air than the NiceHCK MX500 but similar bass.
The build is tiny so I am not getting a very good fit. But nothing really wrong with it and tonality/timbre is great as expected from an earbud.

K´s earphone Nameless rank B.


Budget Bell-LB with worse extension on both treble/bass and worse SQ/technicalities (warmer than the Bell-LB though since the treble extension is much worse and with less air). Value is great if you can get it at the 2 usd price, but at 10 usd?
Cant rec it at that price since there are others that are better.

 

[RikudouGoku]

Yincrow X6 rank S.

Bass-boosted neutral

Bass is spectacular, both quality AND quantity are very good on it. Mids and treble are not compromised by the bass either and are very tonally correct and with great timbre.

First bud I have heard with a bass that is this comparable to iems without it killing everything else.

I will do a full review of this sooner or later, but this is a big rec from me. (credits to @antdroid of course.)

Other recommendations are very much welcome. Oh, and something that comes with a mic is better as I can use it for online classes. Then, I'd be buying a **** 8-core cable for my iem (QKZ VK4). I only have an Iphone 5s as a power source.

I want something with a sound signature of the polar opposite. Thank you so much, Head-fi peeps!
