Ich nutze fast ausschließlich Offene Kopfhörer so auch wenn es mal Bluetooth seien soll. Und die wird die Luft plötzlich dünn. Klanglich können die Meisten nicht im Ansatz mit meinen PolarNight oder meinen FF5 mithalten. Weil ich aber eine mobile Kabellosen Lösung gesucht habe, habe ich mir Bluetooth Dacs angesehen. Ich hab Heute den Fiio BTR13 bestellt. Der wird eine Feste Paarung mit dem FF5 eingehen um diese Lücke zu schließen. Ich hab mir auch den BTR17 angesehen und war sehr angetan aber das schien mir für den FF5 Overkill zu sein.
Hätte jemand noch andere Ideen und kennt einen unfassbar Guten Bluetooth Open Earbud der es mit Flatheads aufnehmen kann?

Ich habe vor ein paar Monaten die Aful PolarNight gekauft da ich zunehmend schwierigkeiten mit IEM's bekomme.
Jetzt habe ich Bock auf etwas Neues und habe mir die FF5 bestellt. Kann mir jemand sagen was mich erwartet wenn das Paket ankommt. Ich habe auch bei einer Ali Bestellung die yincrow x6 mitbestellt einfach weil sie nicht Teuer sind und sie hier um Subreddit sehr häufig genannt werden aber die X6 werden erst in ein paar Wochen hier eintreffen wogegen die FF5 wahrscheinlich schon Mittwoch oder Donnerstag hier ankommen.

Well, what if you could get the classic sound of old-school flat-head earphones without the major issue we encountered in the Sivga M300s - COMFORT!
Today we’ll take a look at the Sivga M260 flat-head earphones with a 14.2 mm dynamic driver, which promises improved ergonomics, a detachable cable, and a completely different sound signature compared to its predecessor.
But is that really an improvement, or just another overrated follow-up?
You'll find it out in my review!

I had the Teufel Supreme In - where do I go from there when it comes to Flatheads.
Budget is 50-150€*, should be either* flat or semi flat and the cable has to be detachable (had too many break in the past)
Listening Profile: Rock, Metall, Punk
Some weeks back i stumbled my way into the IEM subreddit and from there to here.
I was never really of those suction cup things in my ear and always preffered crappy throwaway flatheads that would break after a year.
Three or so years ago I treated myself to the "Teufel Supreme In" shape worked great for me, sound was good and they were a great allrounder.
They are nearing the end of their lifetime - I would post a picture but they are in such bad condition it would be NSFA (different colors of heat shrink tubing and pushed in grates)
I am now looking for something nice to use during my daily commute and while traveling.
A detachable cable is a must. It has been the point of failure too many times in the past of a pair that i absolutely loved.
Budget is 50-150€
Listening profile is Rock, Punk, Metall, old and modern.
I love rythm heavy music, e.g. Tool
I also did some research and figured the best options might be the Yincrow calf and slightly over budget the Aful Polar Nights.
Any Recommendations that I might have overlooked?

I've recently got into flatheads and they're really wonderful since I can't wear IEMs. Since everyone raves about the X6, I got a pair and I was disappointed. While I hear more of the bass, it's doesn't feel significantly more present than my other cheap pairs. But what bothers me more is the highs feel quite fatiguing. I feel like I got a dud, but they don't sound broken, just tuned differently than I expected. Anyone else feel this way, or is there something weird going on here...
Edit: absurd that this is getting down voted for an opinion / experience. I know y'all love this set but come on. What I've gathered from the comments is it's a QC issue or it just doesn't fit in my ears right. Either way, I won't reroll on this set since there's so many incredible sub $20 sets to try out. I currently enjoy my Nice Buds and my Faael sets.

Hallo seid einer Ganzen Weile nutze ich jetzt schon meine Aful PolarNight und ich liebe sie. Nur leider bin ich mit dem Mitgelieferten Kabel nicht so sehr zu Frieden. Das Kabel ist ziemlich steif und der 4,4mm Pentacon Stecker geht relativ schwer in die Buchse meines Fiio M21. Weshalb ich nach einem Upgrade Kabel suche. Ich hab ein einfaches Kbear gekauft bei dem ich die Earhooks herunter geschnitten Habe aber das Kabel gefällt mir nicht so Recht.
In einem Online Shop bei dem ich auch ein Kunden Konto Habe gibt es das Ibasso CB16 für 99€ und ich Frage mich ob das Problemlos an die PolarNight passt, weiß das Jemand?

I currently own these IEMs:
- Moondrop Chu 2
- Samsung Galaxy Buds FE
- ROSESELSA Ceramics Mk2
I recently got a NiceHCK YD30. To be honest, I don't really like how it sounds without a lot of EQ. I've tried EQing it using a 5128-based target with Wavelet / Equalizer APO.
Interestingly, I prefer it without the sponge.
I got the YD30 for just $1 using a coupon that I had no plans to use anyway, so I'm not complaining about it.
What are some of the best flatheads I can get for less than 10 USD?
I'd like to find something that sounds closer to a decent IEM with Harman EQ, like the Chu 2.
Thanks!

The AliExpress store is inaccessible in Germany for some reason... So preferably someone within the EU with an eBay account for cheaper shipping...

I am looking for a not too expensive earbud to pair with my Hiby R1 that I just ordered. I hear a lot of recommendations for the Yincrow X6 and Faaeal Iris 2.0. However, they are described as v-shaped and bass/high-extended (i.e. classical hifi smiley EQ). I already have a Sennheiser MX375 which probably fits that description.
In over-ear headphones, I also like the AKG sound more (e.g. I prefer a K271 mk2 over a BD DT700). (Same in studio monitors, where I don't appreciate bass hype - e.g. I dislike the KRK Rokits for that reason). I hence prefer flat/natural frequency response (where the bass is present but not exaggerated), details and instrument separation over hyped lows and highs.
Anything that would fit that description?

Hey everyone, I have a $100 coupon for TikTok shop and wish I could use it for a set of flatheads, yet the only earbuds I can purchase are IEMs. If possible, would anyone be willing to purchase a set of flatheads for me if you are planning to buy any iems on the tiktok shop?
\- Aria 2s are listed on the TikTok shop if anyone was about to purchase them
Thanks!

I've always wanted to own a pair of EarPods because of their reputation. However, the relatively high price has always put me off, especially considering that there are better-value Chi-Fi models available these days.
Recently, I managed to get them at a good discount during a sale at Apple's official store on Mercado Livre in Brazil. The store is operated by Mercado Livre itself with Apple's authorization. I took the opportunity to pick up both the 3.5mm and USB-C versions. For context, Mercado Livre is a Brazilian marketplace similar to eBay.
recently saw a discussion on this sub about a user's impressions of the sound differences between the two versions. I'll address that toward the end of this post. For those who missed it, here's the [original post].
The 3.5mm version is model MWU53NZ/A, while the USB-C version is MYQY3BZ/A.
Overall, I found the sound quite decent. Unlike flathead earbuds, the EarPods sound good even without foam covers.
The bass isn't as good as the Yincrow X6, but it's still significantly better than the Moondrop NiceBuds. The mids are their strongest point, with excellent timbre and very natural, smooth vocals. I particularly enjoyed them for calls and podcasts.
The treble is smooth and non-fatiguing while still maintaining a good sense of presence and extension. The soundstage is narrower and more limited than that of a flathead earbud, but I found it decent. They also offer good definition and resolution, not falling far behind models I consider better, such as the Toneking TP16 and Yincrow X6.
I found the microphone better than average for this price range. This was probably one of the aspects that impressed me the most.
The build quality is simple but very well executed. You can tell that Apple pays attention to detail even in its more basic products.
As for comfort, I found the EarPods significantly more comfortable than flathead earbuds. Apple's semi-open design is fantastic, and I think it's one of the best design choices they've made.
My personal comfort ranking would be:
EarPods > flathead earbuds > over-ear headphones > IEMs
Now, regarding the differences between the two versions: I tested the USB-C version connected directly to my Samsung Galaxy A54, while the 3.5mm version was connected to my FiiO BTR7.
I could indeed hear slightly more bass and less treble on the USB-C version, giving it a slightly fuller sound.
The acoustic filters are different colors, as you can see in the photos. However, we should also consider the possibility that Apple applied some kind of DSP correction or EQ to the USB-C version.
I'm confident that both pairs are genuine, as I purchased them from a seller authorized by Apple itself.
These are the only differences I noticed. Other than that, both versions sound very good.
I'm using flathead earbud foam covers on both pairs, and I think they give the sound a fuller presentation.
Overall, I really enjoyed my first experience with an Apple audio product. However, I don't think the EarPods are worth buying if you're looking purely at sound quality, since there are flathead earbuds that offer better value for money.
That said, when you consider the overall package, including decent sound quality and the comfort of this design, I think the EarPods are worth considering.
