If you love X6, LBBS is the upgrade. But you’ll be well served with any of them.

In my opinion, LBBS/M2S is all you need. To get a true upgrade, you will spend ALOT more (let’s say 200usd)

Yeah, I’ll definitely stop at LBBS/M2S since I mostly listen to IEMs due to fit issues with earbuds. Even with X6 I have problems fitting them and my ears start to hurt me after a while… Or I don’t wear them properly, dunno :grin:
I usually push them a bit more to get more bass out

LBBS is the best confort in a bud, followed by PK shells (for me)

Just tested this, adaptor to SE and Single DAC. Less noise, still there, but much more torelable. To be honest, I think i’ll just live with it for now, maybe grab and ifi iematch. Considering holding on all purchases and go Kilobuck section by the end of the year.

Remember that it is with PEQ though.

Me too, I’m more of an over-ear/IEM guy than buds.

Yup, me too. Don’t see myself wearing earbuds all the time, IEM FTW :smiley:

I just find buds effortless. You don’t sweat, nothing is weighing you down, you can hear your surroundings. LBBS is TOTL. I use headphones for a more immersive or critical listening session. Mind you the LBBS is no slouch in those departments either. I just don’t like iems, my ears hurt after a while.

Yeah, it’s all up to personal taste. I’d like to enjoy them more but somehow my ears start to hurt after a while with all earbuds I ever had.
I could happily live with X6 for the rest of my life if they would be more comfortable or in IEM form, they’re that good for me.

Isolation is excellent due to the almost vent-less body (there is a very tiny vent near the wire output) there is some pressure build up but not as much as BA iems.
Sound wise, it is not the screeching banshee I was expecting looking at that 3k peak. Bright-neutral, pretty decent set for people wanting something less V-shaped that is otherwise typical at this price range but it is nothing special to me otherwise.

V-shaped iem, bass is a bit slow/loose and lacking some air. Otherwise it is a decently tuned iem, just not sure if it can compete at the price (55 usd) it is at seeing the fierce competition we have nowadays…

Bloated bass, peaky upper-treble and still lacking air, unnatural timbre across the range (except bass I guess), incoherency. Yeah, overhyped and overrated. Next.

Oh and changing cables doesnt really do anything either.

V-shaped, impressive bass but upper-mids/lower-treble might be elevated a bit too (tip rolling might fix it though) much while vocals are recessed.

What a haul! Some seriously scary sub bass shelves there. The Geek Wold GK10 FR is just ???


T-500 Pro VS I3 Pro, thats going to be fun, both have great (sub) bass.


FH3 might have met its match lol.

The Tri I3 is looking…

The T-500 Pro is a V shaped lovers dream. Where is @luizgarcia ?

Damn, pretty similar mids-treble. Although I can already say that it is the OH10 that is bassier, the one that rumbles a lot more. But I like the T500P´s bass more.
