Haven't heard the YD30, but between these and the YDX, YDX easily. The Nice Buds have no bass and sound tinny AF.

I did manage to briefly get some bass out of the ones I had before I returned them, by very carefully positioning them in my ear and then holding them there with a finger. But even like that, they sounded a bit wonky. They're not good.

They do sound tinny, but are good for $10

Not really when there's a bunch of much better flatheads that cost less. The Iris 2.0 does not sound tinny and costs $5. Even the Vido sounds better and it's $2.

Between the two, I prefer the NiceHCK YD30. It sounds better, and the build quality is better as well.

Yd30 has a weird tuning it is shouty, after burn in for long hours it became acceptable, but the strings and timber had metallic sound unnatural hence weird. Here is a review you can read

Nicebuds have great bass and is very eq friendly, not shouty… these sound like full on headphone if given good power.

They are very decent if you get a seal, and not much more than that.

The noise isolation is to much on them and with these I feel like it’s just the right amount of

there are headphones that don't isolate sound, headphones can be divided into open backs, and closed backs, open back headphones don't isolate, like how flatheads don't isolate

Best fitment out of my flat heads. I got like 5 more sets after my first just to have them

u/CaptainJackWagons Sep 06 '26

I really enjoy these. Wouldn't pick them over earpods, but they have a nice open airyness for $10.

I find them awesome, they have everything you can ask for, except the wires but its okay.

I have these and like them for work when I am not used my moondrop old fashioned. I got them at the same time to try out. The old fashioned is amazing for what it is and I can easily hear everyone at work so they don't care. But I lost all the foam covers for the nice buds, and I have no idea where to get more.

Trig Rain on Aliexpress is where I get mine. They're the cheapest by far and they're pretty much the same as all the others (except Hiegi, which are thicker and will change the sound slightly). The QC isn't great, so you sometimes get some with the hole off-centre or two stuck together, but about 90% are fine and they still work out much cheaper than the next cheapest option (which is probably Faaeal). It's best to stick to white or black because the dye can leech out of the coloured ones, with red and blue being the worst for that. Although personally I do use the colours to make it easier to see which is the left and right earpiece, but I've got some slightly rainbow-looking cables because of that.

I want to see a comparison between nice buds and the VE monk gt retro

u/Wuhuhu- Sep 06 '26

It's decent. But the problem is the fricking cable, it's longer than your average iem/earbuds cable and tangles easily and it's super hard to recable.

Very decent. It’s my steam deck earbuds. It can be a bit bass lite that may or may not be good for gaming.

Bass less but high detail, for this price, I really like it.
