In search for a good pair of budget earbuds

Hi! Could someone help me decide between the Yincrow Calf and the Dunu Alpha 3? I just want a well-built, great-sounding earbud that will last me a very long time. I’m especially interested in the Dunu, but I’m concerned that the cable is not removable. Also, for me the most ideal earbuds would be the FiiO FF5, but they are above my maximum budget of 60,000 CLP (about $70–75 USD). Thanks!!:slight_smile:

I’ve had the Calf but the Yincrow X6 has better mids and costs much less. It’s only on Aliexpress, but for $15 it’s a great value for money. Cable isn’t removable, but I’ve bought several pairs for myself and family over the years and never had durability problems. Much lighter than the Calf too.

Thanks for your help! I do have earbuds of that style, but I also want to make a jump in build quality, which is why I’m interested in the two models I mentioned in my post. Could you tell me a bit more about your experience with the Calf? I’ve seen that they come with nice accessories in the box and, at least in photos, the metal shell looks quite solid, but I’m not sure if it’s better or the same as the Dunu in terms of both build and sound. I haven’t been able to find much information about that. I’d really appreciate hearing your opinion.
