Agreed! just got in my iris 2.0, along with the mangird tea 2. The tea 2's were ordered weeks ago and just happened to arrive the same day as the Iris 2.0 (which came from amazon and arrived within 2 days.)
Iris takes eq well, but doesn't need it. No egregious mid bass bleed. Cable is decent (think 1/2 step up from kz/crn iems). Many cables in this price point are horrid. The Tea 2 are fantastic but I still have the iris in my ears, so that should say something.

I went the opposite route. Sold all of my X6, kept my Rw-9 because it does have a different sound quality than the X6.
The Willsound mkii makes the X6 obsolete imo. But, it is alot more expensive.
Good catch there, I missed that! They'll surely correct it here shortly and I'll update as accordingly.

Sharing my recabled Japanese buds. Originally have a J-cable as stock. I believe this is in the same family of buds from JVC/Victor. Sounds W-shaped, having a punchy midbass, immediately noticeable subbass extension, pronounced vocals, and enough treble sparkle that is not elevated nor veiled. Soundstage width and height is above average as well. This is aimed at those looking for fun and musical sound, not quite for analytical and lean sounding lovers, but that's not saying the details are lacking.
First of all, thank you for your willingness to answer. I will definitely try these earbuds.
And one additional question: If you had to personally pick your favorite earbuds under $100 (available on Ali), which would they be?

I cant rec any branded buds over 20 usd on ali anymore...they are all overpriced and dissapointing since I discovered DIY....
My thoughts exactly after listening to Malaysian own DIY earbuds, Budubuds v1.
Budubuds sound neutral with rumbly bass. Priced at 20 usd, but in my opinion sound on par with K LBBs.

Smabat M2s Pro for me.
True and for 100 usd you can get 2 additonal driverSmabat M2s Pro for me.
Ah, good point!
Thanks to everyone for the opinions and recommendations. If you don't mind hardwired cables, I recommend the NiceHCK EB2s to your attention, they are great. I bought them based on the following review and fully agree with it.

Thanks again, I ordered the Faaeal Iris 2.0 and the Yincrow X6 as well based on your review. I have no idea what to expect from such cheap earbuds, so the surprise can only be positive. Have a nice day and I'll be sure to share my experiences.
I got mine from Aliexpress during a mystery-bag event. It was something like $16 IIRC. I DO like them a lot. They are great daily beaters.
Well said ! We hope you don't act like them. Buy for $ 5 and sell for $ 50 -$ 100
