Another supreme value with the Qian 39's, especially given that they take EQ well.

umm.. ok.... wow... there's actually some legit sub-bass on these. I'm listening with v1.5 bass target. Ridiculous value for $5.99.Another supreme value with the Qian 39's, especially given that they take EQ well.

Time to dust my Qian 39's off I see!

yeah, these are the real deal. I think the bass might be more extended and faster than the Monk Lite 120ohm's on v1.5 bass target. I'm not certain. I have to get it a more critical listen.
**edit**
Yeah, the 39's reach deeper than the Monk 120's compensated with the same target.
***edit***
The 39's compensated have some of the best bass I've heard on an earbud -- good sub-bass extension, really fast, tight bass.

If the mx500 shells suit you fine, the BK2 shells should suit you fine too.

agreed. the bk2 shell fits pretty compactly in the ear (or at least mine) partly due to the lack of a stem. They feel comparable or maybe a tad smaller in the ear as compared to the mx500 shell for me.
It could be released soon but the name may have changed to EBX21, he posted following image on his FB.

I've not tried the original EBX, was it good?
Same, I never tried it but it was well received by others, I think it was upper mid-tier level.

I don't think they will look exactly like this because NickHCK usually uses better cables for their own flagships
V-shape sound, strong build quality, I don't like mmcx sockets. They use the same connectors as the first edition of ST-10 before the change them.

Rose Maria II is very interesting. there are 2 size. The 16 mm size is my sweet spot. 
I don’t know why everyone says they are upper mid-centric. I remember buying my model a month after it came out. For me, they are more mid-bass centric with slightly recessed mids and the treble is really decent. EBX can rank easily with earbuds in the price range of $50-$100

Here's an interesting one... You'd think that the EQ changes on this bud would sound really different from stock tuning -- not really the case. The changes are subtle and not very pronounced.
Can I find better earbuds now days than Sennheiser MX985 ?
