I'm very impressed with LBBS, but not that much with RW-2000.
Let's figure out what I'm going to get after some burning in.

Hey,
I got Yincrow X6, which broke quickly. I like the bass - it wasn't muddy and it got quite good kick and rumble. Fine quality of highs and good soundstage, but they sounds little too bright and little too less warmth. What would you recommend for me at this budget with this requirements? It would be great if it will have Yuin like housing, but mx500 type is fine too.
Honestly, I'd just buy a bunch of x6's and eq to taste. Such a good earbud... at any price.

Can anyone compare fit between NiceHCK ME80 and the EBX21? I just dug through my hoard of chifi buds I bought years ago and realize I had the ME80 and it sounds and fits quite nice, doing some research here shows it's well received. I would like an upgrade but not sure if the EBX21 is the way to go. I love the way it looks, the detachable cable, and supposed clarity as I think that's the only thing I'm missing from the ME80. I'm happy with the ME80s bass quantity, I just feel some lower end notes are lost/muddled. According to reviews I've read, it seems like low end quantity is one drawback of the EBX21 but I'm ok with that, given it's an earbud. I do feel pretty sensitive to sibilance though, and I've read the EBX21's tuning is more of a bright neutral. Any advice would be appreciated!

EDIT: Rephrasing this to make it more clear that I'm asking for advice, not giving a comparison between the ME80 and EBX21. I currently own the ME80 but have not auditioned the EBX21 and am curious about it. lol

Both sets have a lack of subbass (common in most earbuds). EBX21 is a bit brighter, but not sibilant or harsh.
EBX21 is miles ahead in technical performance -> instrument separation, clarity, imaging, details. ME80 sounds very muffled in comparison. Bass quality is also better on EBX21.
EBX21 has of course a detachable cable, compared to the non detachable ME80.
Timbre is slightly better on EBX21, but ME80 is no slouch.

For fit wise, I think the EBX21 is slightly worse, I need to put 2 layers of foam to thicken the fit in the ear, but YMMV as we have different ear anatomies. The stock cable of the EBX21 is rather heavy, and it tends to yank the earbud out of the ear. Accessories are of course much better on the EBX21 considering the price and TOTL namesake.

Anyways, the EBX21 is 10 times or so the price of the ME80, so not a fair comparison. I think in tonality and timbre the ME80 holds up very well against the EBX21, but it loses a lot in the technicalities department. Is getting good technicalities of paramount importance for you, such that you will need to pay up for the diminishing returns? That's the most important question to answer, as I think the ME80 is a very good set for the price if you can close one eye for the lack of technicalities.

So what earbuds should I be looking at if I want the same(-ish) warm and bassy and intimate sound signature as the Yincrow X6 but with a detachable cable? I recently got the ZMF Aeolus and while I'm loving the sound, I can't (at least currently) really wear them all day, so I think I'd like to get a nice pair of extremely comfy earbuds for gaming and other PC activities that have me wearing headphones for long periods of time and where the sound quality isn't THAT important. That obviously means I'm looking for something that'll last me a long time - the rest of my life, if at all possible.

My amp is also a bit far so would also love some recommendations for longer cables for said earbuds. 1.5 to 2 meters would be great.
