ChiFi (Chinese HiFi). Buying headphones, earphones.

[phetphet]

For anyone that might be interested in buying Chinese headphones and earphones or in ear monitors?

 

Over the past year I have bought several pairs from manufacturers KZ and CCA and been quite pleased with the quality for the price. Available on both Lazada and Aliexpress.  Links to Lazada stores below:

This week while browsing the internet, looking to buy some more,  I came across a website  https://www.linsoul.com  that shows many more manufacturers that I had never even heard of. Showing prices from under THB500 to over THB70,000 a pair. Something for everyone.

 

Once choosing something that looks interesting, I then search Youtube for reviews to see what other think of them, then can check them out on Lazada and Aliexpress to compare prices.

 

Anyone with THB73,000 to spare?

Yes, I have a pair of BLON BL-03 with some yinyoo cables that I bought from AliExpress after reading some reviews.

They are really good for 1000B, comparable (probably better) with any higher priced Sony or seinheisser earbuds, there was a quality issue with the first pair they sent - they sent had an unbearable buzz on one ear the manufacturer had the front to offer me $5 discount but Ali stepped in and got a replacement.

I'm not an audiophile, and understand that the OP provided the link as a service to others here.

But I must admit to being dubious that a pair of corded earbuds such as these

for several hundred USD would seem orders of magnitude (like the cost) better to me than the very similar ones I bought at 7-11 for $6. Frankly I'm astounded that such tiny bits of seemingly commodity tech can sell at these prices. ????

Then again I'm not much into wine (fermented grape juice) costing hundreds per bottle either.

I'm just a barbarian consumer I guess. To each his own I suppose.

I took your advice and bought the same earphones as you from Lazada, I think they are coming from China, so I am still waiting.
