1. Blur 266 MX400 aPs 400Ω: This thing lives on my desktop; While it still sounds great on lower powered sources, it really stretches its wings on my Schiit stack. Most headphone like, mid-centric sound.Being the minimalist that I am, I am quite relieved to report that I am finally down to three (3) earbuds again.
A month or so back I was sitting on nearly thirty plus earbuds and a good number of dacs & amps which I have since managed to sell, trade, and/or gift away... not including those items that my daughter and wife continually, and quite illegally, procure from me! I have resigned myself to the fact that I most likely will never ever see my Turandots nor BTR5 again. I don't even know where my wife hides them when not in use... I desperately hunted around for them but to no avail!
Here are the earbuds currently residing in my stable and why:
It would be nice to hear, from fellow rabid earbud enthusiasts, what you consider your top three earbuds are and why... or four... or five... or six...!

This is the million dollar question, but @RikudouGoku’s review makes it a tough sell. It would be in a different housing though and that will change things to some undeterminable degree. It’s also very tunable with their kit. It could be interesting, but a tough sell.
Is that the super one driver? If so im out
I may have missed it, but what price range are you looking for?
So says "Smabat"))
I would have to agree with this. I have both the M2s Pro, and the Chaconne, and so far I agree with @RikudouGoku's assessment of them (and order at which I would also place them), so I can assume that he has nailed it concerning the Super One.
