What are you listening to today?
For me, since I was talking about the Chaconne, I brought them out and am enjoying some fantastic prog rock. This group doesn't use a ton of sub bass, and the music is not too busy all the time, so they sound sublime with the Chaconne; at least to my ears today (not normally their best match, but it seems to be doing very well with it).

Plus, you can get them on Amazon, and can very easily return them if you find them not to your liking.
Just my $.02 and of course YMMV.

Not for nothing, but I would suggest you look at the FiiO FF1. They are warm and laid back, and are NOT offensive in any frequency. They aren't the most technical set of buds, but they are only $20, and you get a ton of accessories (except a case to keep them in). Some people say they sound "meh", but I disagree and think that they sound very good for their price (and somewhat above as well). These have quite a bit of bass quantity as well. They have some great clarity to them as well while not being either rolled off nor boosted. I can't speak to how small or large they might be because all my buds seem to be the same size to my ears (the weight and balance is what makes some fit better than others), but they are SUPER light (yet seem to be built very sturdily).Thank you very much!
Regarding sound,
I'm sensitive to high mid and high treble (peaks, sibilance etc.), and I like bass.
I already had the yuin pk2 and I used them to death until the cable broke (loved them). Maybe I should just buy them again, but...
Do you think that the DQSM Panda PK2s would be a good bet for me?
And going a little cheaper, how about the NiceHCK B40 and NiceHCK B70? Do you know if they have recessed mids and treble?
Regarding the Qian39 I heard someone saying that this earbud "could be too aggressive because of the evident lower-mids bump, especially noticeable in male vocals and basslines." So I got a little scared of it haha.
I think that what I'm looking for is a small earbud with a "laid back" sound signature. The DQSM Panda PK2s that you recommend I liked a lot and maybe I will try it, but I just want to know if there is other options more cheaper with a "laid back" sound signature.
