Hifiboy OS V3 $160 1-Dynamic & 2-Balanced Armature drivers. Detachable cable w/ 2-pin connector https://penonaudio.com/hifi-boy-os-v3.html or BGVP DM6 $199 5 Balanced Armatures Drivers. Detachable cable w/ MMCX Connectors https://smile.amazon.com/BGVP-DM6-Customized-Audiophiles-Detachable/dp/B07HH349RF/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539011624&sr=8-1&keywords=bgvp+dm6+iem
I personally have the Hifiboy OS V3 in Red?Blue and love them. No harsh simbilance, balanced signature with a little extra warmth in the bass. They EQ well also. I use them with a Hiby R3 DAP, FiiO X7Mkii DAP, Little Bear B4 hybrid tube amp w/ V5i-D Op Amp and a Topping NX4 DSD DAC/Amp. They have been killer with every thing I plug them into. I also had a set of silver 2-pin balanced cables on hand which made them sound even better, mainly clarity in the mids. Also I use the Comply SmartCore Foam tips in Medium which are super comfortable and a pretty good deal on Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075RDCZ4X/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If I were to get replacement for my HifiBoy OS V3's I would probably go with the BGVP DM6 IEMs, for a couple of reasons; from what I hear 2nd hand is that they have a very similar signature to the HifiBoy OS V3 but have a little more punch in the bass, very slightly better mids and the clear version looks absolutely incredible.
These are both pretty much the best IEMs produced in the $150-$200 range. They are both resin shells. The HifiBoy's are light and feel like almost nothing is in your ear. They also stay put in your ear. I have about 20 other sets of IEMs in the $40 - $200 range and the HifiBoy OS V3's have just plain stomped them all. It seems that lately with the advent of good hybrid IEMs and the industry getting better at tuning the BA drivers, single dynamic drivers are becoming no longer as good.

AcesHiHi, the hifiboy OS V3 sits very slightly out of the ear, maybe 1-2mm. I have the BGVP DM6’s on order so I can’t say on those. But looking at photos the look very similar in thickness. Maybe DM6 is a little thinner. They are handmade shells and they also make customs so I’m thinking they may fit more flush with the ear. AliExpress has them for a super deal right now, $153 preorder for their 11.11 sale.
