There is a wearing method that maximises the bass of the earbuds.
The vertical wearing of earbuds means that 'the earbuds are not placed horizontally over the ear canal, but are pressed vertically against the front of the ear canal'.
Some people have already adopted this method.

Is this a normal human ear?
Mine are nowhere near big enough to do this

This is my ear.
Perhaps the entrance to my ear canal may be wider than that of most people.

But in my ears, earbuds fit better with the vertical wearing method, so I can hear more bass in earbuds than in IEMs.

I also tried this, and they (also) do not fit for me in this manner. Bummer... :beerchug:

It's amazing how much a difference orientation of the driver can make to the perceived bass. How I position my buds is usually a mixture of what fits best and what sounds best. I've found that when orientating towards a position like this the bass quantity increases but the quality drops off very quickly, but YMMV! :D

I've just bought this on a whim (Soundpeats Air 3), had a good price for BNIB condition.. and I'm really liking this. look at that really cute and tiny case! :smile:
sound is also surprisingly good, and the fit is so comfortably small that it forgot even wearing it. i recommend this for someone who is looking for earbud style TWS

Hi,

I'd like to buy earbuds, and I'm hesitating between Toneking Dendroaspis Viridis, Smabat M2s Pro and K's LBBS.
All are about same price (around 70-80€) and have great reviews.

I listen mostly acoustic rock and classical music (no hip hop or electronical music)
I'd like eardbuds to perform good on male voices, acoustic instruments and bass lines, without listening fatigue and be permissive for bad records.

Another major concern of mine is the fit.
I own NiceHCK EBX, and the fit is horrible, so I don't use them anymore and replace them with Qian Q39.

I find the toneking gorgeous, but I fear it'll be too bright. Maybe some equalization is possible to make them sound more warn ?
And I guess they will not fit as well as LBBS...

whoops, i'm sorry, it's the Soundpeats Air 3. i'll edit my last post to add the name too :sweat_smile:
Thanks! I've been thinking about trying a TWS set that are reasonably priced and at least decent sounding (not airpods). I'd use them more for calls, podcasts, maybe TV/movies a little. Not music.

I'll add these to list of considerations. Do you think they could still fit in the case and charge properly with foams?
