This version is called FF3, next version will be FF5. The FF5 will probably be FiiO's next flagship earbud, so I wouldn't think it'll be getting any cheaper.

I can say that so far, all of the earbuds I have tried sound fantastic with it. I think the best improvement is the Sennheiser HD700 (it seems Senny stuff always has liked tubes for some reason)....After you get totally hooked on tubey-licious 2nd harmonics sound, you're next goal will be to search out and buy all head gear that will sound the best with your new Nutube amp card. It's inevitable!!
But you are right, I will probably be seeking more gear that fits with it...

I guess they need to price it for some kind of profit?
Well, maybe they'll do a budget line.Their older budget line is the EM3K (without inline mic) and EM3S (with inline mic). Still available at one aliexpress store for $22.50. You might find them a little cheaper at other aliexpress stores(?). Not sure what the sound quality is like.I guess they need to price it for some kind of profit?
Anyways, to our earbud fans, it seems the TRN EMA earbud has been released: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004410828221.html
$8.90 for no mic, $9.90 with mic.
That's quite good pricing considering it is 2-pin detachable too!

Even without a review these definitely won't break the bank on a blind purchase.

Knowing the history of TRN tuning, they follow the philosophy of following "Sound quality scales in price" except backwards!
At this price, theyre literally competing with legends like the X6 and now possibly the Nicehck vido! But, I have my worries.
1. The cable is pretty much proprietary. It uses a curve inside the plastic of the pins, meaning you will need to get some very funky 2pins to work with this
2. Lots of vents! Thats usually not a good sign, giving the driver too much air which will cause distortion. Unless its been dampended properly, i will need to see
3. May have wild tuning! TRN is infamous for their tuning demanding EQ or being not amazing.
Ill wait to see though, this may actually be a wonderful earbud.
You seriously need to consider RikuBuds. Sitting currently in my top three at the moment is the 2022 - RikuBuds Berserker 1 (32ΩTiComp 19-21 Red Dot). Hands down one of the best earbuds I have heard and/or owned;
For little as Euro 50 will get you an amazing earbud while supporting "one of our own". There are currently nine (9) available models to choose from with varying signatures for different tastes:

2022 - RikuBuds Alter Archer 1 (64ΩWG)
2022 - RikuBuds Alter Rider 1 (32ΩBio 19-21 Black Dot)
2022 - RikuBuds Archer 1 (32ΩBG N52)

Will definitely consider it, but will probably try d ones closer first, like d newbsound buds.
"IEM crusher, headphone rusher, gusher over an earbud cause' he's plowing over suckers with some flatheads"
Think that one is too long?
I wholeheartedly agree - I have the Alter Rider 1, and I'm very impressed! Lovely mids, good note-weight, natural timbre, and textured bass. Only thing I'd change is the fit - I get some ear pain after an hour of use, and I enjoy them so much that I want to use them for hours on end. I guess it's a physical reminder for my ears to rest, but...I want more! Lol. Recommended
