This is an excellent idea worth experimenting with. I will try to look into it further at some point...I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned it but on my main setup, I add subwoofers to earbud listening. The amp has an output out that goes into a passive preamp from which I control the Subwoofer’s volume.
Very happy listener here

Fu.ck the Diablo! 
I second this, especially because there's talk that the newer TC-200's uses a different driver than the older ones. Also, supposedly the TG-38 is the 'O.G' Tingo.Or go with TG-38s
Speaking of Tingos, I have a Tingo TG-38SA from Taobao. Pretty obscure buds. Clear shelled, mmcx. 300 ohms but surprisingly not that hard to drive. Very warm, thick sound, kinda wonky in the mids with weird decays but works ok for certain genres. I found them to pair very well with the CXPro dongle that's been much hyped over on FB.
Anyway, anyone else enjoying their Monk Go? I've been using mine for about a week now and I've to say they're very good. Quite a departure from the typical VE Monk house sound. Neutral-ish, clear sound sig. Mine is numbered #234/3000.
I've also ordered the Zen LL in 2.5mm, so looking forward to that as well in addition to the Blur which should arrive in about a week's time.

It is very easy to do and very addictive, just make sure to have a passive preamp to calibrate your sub (although you might not have to do this often). I personally use 2 subwoofers but it’s not a necessity (one sub is for the very very lowest sub and the other goes higher in frequency). With this, I don’t miss headphones whatsoever, and even less speakers.
OG TG-38s is not 300ohm. Where did you find this version?
There is few DIY 300ohm drivers which are used for many buds. This is "stubborn" driver which not allow to tune it so easily. And SQ is noting special.
I will post why is TG-38s special...at least for me.

I don't think this has anything to do with Tingo lineup, like TC400. Why do they all call the "Tingo" any model that has a silver shell? For me the only realistic versions are TC200 (no MMCX version), TC300 probably (didn't try jet), TG-38s.
You have transparent shell version?

Yes, the TG38SA 300 ohm that I have is the clear-shelled version, not silver/metallic.

Brothaman, do you have any idea how helpful your reviews and databases have been for me? Thank you. Sincerely.

Thank you very much.
Joining the fold after having just placed an order for a pair of M2s Pro. Seems like a comfortable starting spot and looks like it was on sale at Smabat's site. Really just want a convenient prog-friendly earbud for around the house that isn't bass-absent.
Trusting you ears on this one, @RikudouGoku

What are Balanced or Neutral Earbuds? Do they have any Bass and Treble or all needs to be adjusted through EQ only? Also, how is 1More Earbuds? Are they very good for AUD $40-50 price (I think there was one available on some site around this price).
It is 1More E1008 . Someone posted that it is available on offer at Euro 20 which is good price as most of the times I saw that around AUD 90-100 only.

Or any earbud with Balanced Sound with Enhanced Bass.

The link @fonkepala provide is from official Tingo shop in taobao. The shop name is TIGOOR听哥耳机工厂店 TG, which has been active in taobao for 13 years.
FYI, tingo is a direct pronounciation of 听哥(loosely translate to listen bro).
From that link, they provide customizable option for 150ohm and 300ohm version of TG38SA which is mmcx connected and also normal version of tg38 but has mmcx socket.
