But seriously, I skipped the LBBS cause of the non detachable cable, just my personal practice not to get anything ~ $50 that has non detachable components
Jack Ma will be sending you some store coupons soon

Some of the best bargains I know of mentioned in this thread are the Yincrow X6, the RY4S plus, the Cat Ear Mimi (with thick or double foams for me), and the Tingo TG-38S.

Out of interest, do you have a link to some thick foams? Looking at pictures of ones that claim to be thick, don't actually look any thicker in depth or density than my others.

Thanks for any help on this :)

Any new budget bargains come out in the last half-year? I've tried so many over the ears but the comfort and solid sound quality of Qian39s still have them on top for me, gonna just order 3 more pairs and call it a day for the next while most likely.
Monk Go is a nice bargain.

I use hiegi foams, they are thicker than most.

Concur. Hiegi and Daiso are thick and of good quality. Personally all I will use now.

concur on the Hiegi, those are one of the thicker and more consistent sounding foams compared to no brand foams.

even thicker than the Hiegi, if you can find them is this Daiso store foams

My current buds - MX + PK shelled - all fit in my ear with very little extra room to spare (I think I have small ears), but it would be interesting to experiment to see what affect it has on signature with thick foams if they stay in place.

Thanks for the guidance :)

I too have small ears and prefer PK over MX any day. I have had trouble with silicon rings and double foams (full + donut) on some MX and large "Other Variant' shelled earbuds but have yet to run into a problem with either only the Hiegi or the slightly thicker Daiso cushions on any of those earbuds.

Thanks Woody, that's helpful. Makes committing to the purchase a bit easier. The PK fits my ear like a glove. With the MX there's more pressure but that does mean I can seat it whatever angle I want and it will stay there.

HeiGi are the ones I’m using. Penon has them cheaper than Amazon.

I never knew Daiso had Earbud Foams!!!! I used to love Daiso stores. There’s one not too far from me :)

Using my new Impact Audio Cables (Custom 4-ft 4-strand Type 6 Copper Litz Balanced Eidolic 2.5mm TRRS Plug -to- Eidolic MMCX) cable, and enjoying my Homemade Beryllium 600-Ω, Earbuds w/Metal housing.

A combo like this deserves a photograph, of course!

Could you show us the set (cables + buds)?
