The longevity thing is very unfortunate though I have personally not had any problem with my Chus. My only point really is that if the Chus blew their budget on premium feel then of course a version with the same premium feel and added detachable cable is going to cost more.

I don't even like the premium feel. Like I appreciate how it looks and feels but as soon as I pick it up (in any way besides grabing the 2 shells first and being careful to keep them apart which is something I don't want to do because to me a $20 IEM is about convenience, not being fussy) and feel the little heavy weights swinging around and banging together I don't like it compared to how I can just yank my Quarks any which way and throw them around.

But I do notice the metal build while I am wearing it. Yet another reason I prefer the Quarks lol. But if the Chu was what I wanted in sound and feel yet I desired a detachable cable I wouldn't hesitate on the Lan. I don't know who exactly that is for but it is somebody.

What is it that you don't like about Waners? And what is stopping you from trying Quarks? If it is the USB C then I totally understand.

my issue with my waners was that the emphasis on vocals isn't as strong as I would like. it's overpowered by the instruments and bass. they play instruments EXTREMELY WELL but the vocals just isn't as present as I'd like. I've gotten used to it for the most part.

main reason I don't try the quarks because they just seem like a generic earphone with good tuning? also remember how I got my waners for $14? in my country the price difference isn't significant enough for me to consider it

Generic in what way?

in the sense it's literally the same as the buds that comes with your phone, random Chinese earphones.

So you mean physical shape/construction? That's what makes them so comfortable and convenient. That was a game changer for me. I never want bulky or heavy shells or thick nozzles ever again.
