I have this one Ak kbear 16 núcleo atualizado prata chapeado cabo de cobre 2.5/3.5/4.4mm com conector mmcx/2pin/qdc tfz para kz zs10 zsn pro as16 zsx|Fones de ouvido| - AliExpress and i love this cable, really good build quality for the price

Sure, these 16core cables look nice, the braids are very well done. I own a couple of NiceHCK and Yinyooo 16core balanced cables.
I look more at these cables as a decoration, mostly for IEM. For buds, I do not recommend this, especially for models like PK or MX500, where the cables are not worn over the ears. Also, It's difficult to notice a difference in sound at all, and weight is also a big problem. I rather prefer 4 or 6 cores. This 6 core is the softest cable I have in my collection.

Speaking of decoration, Xiaofan cables are probably the most prestigious on Ali. 💎
Of course, we should not forget probably "the best" combo on Ali so far xiaofan Ortiz 8 & TRN VX Gpld 🥇

I like their fit on iems and on over ear style buds like the st-10, i can really understand why they wouldnt be good for buds mx500 style fit, the weight is truly a concern and in time they would probably break in this case

Exactly, it's really not necessary to add any weight because it is still difficult to achieve a good seal with earbuds

Seeing the Smabat st10s B/G got good words, am thinking to get one if price is less than $100. Anyone know how much it cost during the sales? The current price is still above $100.

Good sellers with a coupon gave 11-11 away for $ 85-90. I bought Smabat silver for $ 51 and gold drivers separately for $ 7. 10 minutes of work if you can hold a soldering iron in your hands.

Do you know which type of driver uses "silver" and "gold"?

Anyone here tried the Cyphereus Red Dragons?

They are custom made and only a few in existence. @Danneq has one:

Nope, I've owned Red Dragon for over 1 year but it was just about 2 weeks ago I got to know what full sized head phones they were tuned to resemble. It goes without saying that they easily blow away every single other earbud I've heard. You can check my profile to check all of the earbuds I own or have owned. Still I keep trying new ones out. It's a wonderful hobby/addiction.

I don't know how Herry of Cypherus does it, if he's a magician at tuning earbuds or if he sprinkles pixie dust on the drivers, but my Red Dragon really do sound like full size headphones. It's almost a bit strange that you get a headphone sound without feeling the pressure of the pads on your ears.

Edit: And the person who orders the Red Dragon can ask to have them tuned to resemble a pair of full size headphones. It's not really a line of earbuds like the other Cypherus earbuds such as CampFred, ZoomFred or CAX Black or White CampFred.

So I have had the chance to review Rose Maria and here is my take on it : https://iem.reviews/2020/12/15/rose-maria/

img_1900.jpg


Rose Technics obviously chose to tune it very differently from the typical earbud and if you’re looking for a clear, bright and vibrant earbud with a lot of bite, superb soundstage with great separation and air and impressive resolution as well as fast and clean bass then the Rose Maria is an earbud you want to look at :)

Yeah guys my journey with the Bk2 ended today, i ended up giving them to my brother becuse they really were not for me, i kept the cable and the case though, gave him with the cable that came with my st-10 hehe. For my 2021 im aiming to venture myself more on the iem and open backs world will probably not aquire any earbud for a while, aiming for the dunu sa6(iem) and a sennheiser open back, probably the hd6xx or the hd660
