Selling my Turandots in Headfi classifieds if anyone is interested. If this is breaking a rule here I apologize, but I thought someone might benefit because they're really nice...

Has anyone heard the VE Monk slim?
Yup! I have and they are a nice and relaxed sound with smooth highs and mids. Treble can be peaky but is easily fixed with double foams, or adventurous enough to remove the driver from the shell, remove the tuning foam from the back and add thinner amounts to increase bass. But for the most part, double foams is the easier solution.

I noticed that you are selling your Blur. How do they compare?

Is there any MMCX Version of Yincrow RW-9? I would like to buy it but the current one I see on AE do not have Mic and also L Shaped Plug which I do not prefer. PLease suggest if any MMCX Version available so I can use my MMCX Cable with Mic to use the earbuds. I read that it is better than Yincrow X6 and have better Bass, Sub-Bass and Clarity too. Thanks.

Should one use earbuds without foam? I would imagine the foam can quickly build up dust, mites and whatnot. While if you just put in the plastic, it's easier to keep clean. The foam helps the subbass, but I would rather lose some if I get a peace of mind when it comes to keeping your eardrums safe from anything that would buildup on the foams.

Just curious if silicone rings like these actually work to help keep earbuds seated in your ear? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002432593453.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.48c44c4dksgFCw

I have a Yincrow X6 and a Qian39 on the way, and I ordered these rings last night on impulse. Guess I'm trying to justify said impulse, hahahahaha.

I bought a few of these and they are extremely useful to secure a better fit. I primarily use them to increase the girth of the earbud (think of it as a filling), and I put a foam or donut foam over this.

But it is a YMMV situation, as we have different ear anatomies and ear sizes, but this silicone ring really saved me from getting rid of some earbuds which had a poor fit.

I think some earbuds are designed to be used with foams. The full foams as u say add to some warmth and lower frequencies, so not using the foams (ie using the naked bud itself) will definitely change the sound signature. Not to mention the fit is also affected, as described above.

Actually the foams are sited outside the ear canal and if u just change the foam covers every few weeks (they are rather cheap usually), it is no issue with hygeine. Or just wipe the foam cover with a damp cloth after each listening session. If anything, IEMs which insert the eartip inside the ear canal, would be more unhygenic than earbuds, who's foams are outside the ear canal.

Unfortunately, the only model that I know that Yincrow makes with detachable MMCX cables are the Yincrow RW-1000 and RW-2000 flagship model.

Yincrow RW-1000 is on sale now!
