I am gonna be honest and say that the finder X1 has been outdone by many and they certainly aren't the best deal at $200 MSRP. I would say the asking price for them on MD is fair but not great either. I would pick the PX or P2 over them for similar signatures.

Heck I would take the DM5 and extra money left over for a good balanced cable over them. The build of the Finder X1 is tops, indestructible but sound wise not the most engaging.

I'll try those earbuds! It's like being a child again :) what's the sound signature for those two recommendatios?

Child again? I prefer to never stop being a child lol

The EMX500's are a bit v-shaped, but in a good way. The bass is nicely controlled and detailed, the highs are clear but nicely controlled, and the mids are still nicely present. The soundstage is fairly wide, but also quite deep, so they provide a nice sense of 3D immersion. Wonderful energy and plenty of fun! For the price they are ridiculous. Just be careful where you get them from, as there seems to be many variants (the ones I linked are good).

Another step up are the DIY Graphenes - rather awesome. But they a whopping a $29US (although you might be able to score a discount if you ask nicely).

Personally I would dip my toes back into the earbud world with the EMX500's for $10. Then, once you get hooked, head over to the Earbuds Round-Up thread to find many ways to spend more money lol

lol, is V-shaped the most popular signature? not my thing :frowning2: anyway what about the mee rx18 instead?
Click to expand...

V-shaped is probably the most popular signature out there, but not necessarily around these "audiophile" parts. I'm not typically a fan either, but the EMX500's are different in that they don't sound typically v-shaped - more like "balanced v-shaped" lol. Anyway, the Graphenes would probably be more up your alley because they are fairly balanced, and they are more refined than the EMX500's (and yet still sound very full). I am not familiar with the rx18's.
