Lucky you! It's definitely on my listToday I have been listening to the VE Zen 3.0, I liked it a lot, wide, transparent sound and very rich in nuances, quite impressed with this, very good build quality and cables. it is less warm than zen 2, which made me happy.

Calling all earbud historians!
I need help (I know... weird right!??) finding the model number of this vintage Aiwa.
It walks and talks like an HP-V33... BUT it has a stereo/mono switch, which doesn't match anything on 'teh interwebz'... or any other Aiwa bud I've ever seen.
In the end, I bet it's something like HP-V33-M or something... denoting the mono switch, but any help would be very welcome.

https://stereo2go.com/forums/thread...-aiwa-hp-v-and-others-of-the-golden-era.3388/ There are AIWA Sound GT HP-V20 described, which looks similar, just without label "Sound GT Aiwa"

Good to see some more of those mono switches.
I was starting to think it was a mod.
People with the Yinman 2.0 600ohm... i am noticing on ali that there is a black and a gray option. does anyone have more close ups of either? i am thinking about giving this one a purchase soon (or if a fellow member has a pair they are willing to sell?). even though i generally hate mmcx, the positive reviews are tempting me too much.

Mine has wired cables, not mmcx, and I'd call it black with light silver-looking cables. The ali link can be misleading, I think, as others have noted. What ali link is showing you those options?
This one here,

Pictures look a lot like mmcx so if i am incorrect, my mistake! Is this the right link?

That's the same I used a couple months ago, I think, but the pictures haven't been updated. The 600 ohm 2.0 isn't mmcx as far as I know.

My daily drivers - qian39, zen LL and yincrow x6 all met the same fate: the housing eventually comes apart while rustling about in my pocket then the internals get promptly torn apart. I know using a case is recommended but I feel like this issue could be avoided with improved construction quality.
Anyone else had this problem?
I wouldnt mind paying extra for an epoxy-glued shell or something, especially if the earbud costs $50+ to begin with

I would dare putiing my wired earphones straight into my pocket or bags like that, no matter how good the construction...it would take only a small force/tug to ruin them, not to mention the tangle nightmare
If i couldn't use a case, i would at least use a soft pouch, just to reduce the risk

I just feel like we've been conditioned to have such low expectations for their construction quality. How many other EDC type products break apart in a trouser pocket?

Oh nice!! I'm still waiting for mine to ship. I bought it the day it was released but no trackingToday I have been listening to the VE Zen 3.0, I liked it a lot, wide, transparent sound and very rich in nuances, quite impressed with this, very good build quality and cables. it is less warm than zen 2, which made me happy.
You can refer to this post about the Yinman 2.0 600 (including a closeup picture in the spoiler of what they look like now as opposed to the pictures).
