Well my honeymoon phase with the DB1E came to an abrupt and unfortunate end yesterday. I was hoping to avoid some of the issues that have plauged other K'searphones earbuds due to their fixed cables but have run into another issue that I haven't seen anyone mention with their other models. The...

mt877 wrote his impressions here and also quoted omerad's impressions here. Those are the two most detailed impressions I've seen for the DB1.

I've worn it for several hours multiple days in a row with the stock cable and then switched to Fiio's LC-RC with MMCX to 2-pin adapters for a couple of days in addition to several days with it connected to Moondrop's Littlewhite and have never felt any discomfort. Considering how much trouble I...

I just received the NiceHCK WhiteSky cable to go with my DB1e today, the fit is perfect for me when using donut foams and I don't feel like I need earclips to get the best sound anymore. The shades of blue don't quite match but they're close enough that they don't stand out too much. I also...

A few weeks ago there were some posts about people's daily drivers that I meant to make a post about but wasn't feeling well at the time. Here's my daily driver that I use when I'm out and about or working on something where I don't want to risk damaging my more expensive earbuds: This is...

I'm looking for some recommendations on which drivers to go with for my first solo DIY build. I built the Artiste Nightingale by @mt877 with the QIGOM S68A driver which sounds good but the treble can be a little harsh and there is some vocal distortion if I increase the bass too much. I also...

Thank you so much for those links, I don't think I would've found those posts through search. I've got a couple different shells picked out, now I just need to figure out which drivers I want. Found one through the DIY earbuds thread that I want to try but I would like to have a couple of...

I received the Yinman 600 around a week ago and I understand why it's loved so much, the bass is pretty incredible even compared to the FF3. Thankfully it doesn't suffer from vocal distortion in bass heavy tracks like the FF3 does. I haven't spent a lot of time listening to it as the DB1e has...

Don't worry about doing that, just thought if you knew off the top of your head that it would help narrow down which one I want to build next. That's a good point, are there any posts about how different parts such as adhesive foams and tuning papers affect sound? Or does it just depend mostly...

With how much I've been travelling for doctor's appointments lately I've been on the lookout for carrying cases to protect my earbuds while travelling. Through the weird wacky wonder that is AliExpress recommendations I stumbled across this lens filter case and thought it would be perfect for...

I had been wanting to build a set for a while but the biggest hurdle was picking out the parts to use. The descriptions of how the Artiste Nightingale sounded are what pushed me to finally take the plunge and I'm glad I did. Do you have any similar comparisons for the other DIY builds you've...

I finally got all of the parts to build the Artiste Nightingale by @mt877 and though I've only listened to it for a little bit I can already tell that I like what I hear. I'm going to listen to it for a while before I give my thoughts on it but I haven't been disappointed so far, thank you so...

After listening to the DB1E for several hours I'm starting to understand why so many people love the LBBS. While the treble can be a little harsh and overbearing with some songs for the most part it's clear, detailed, and smooth without being compromised by boosting the bass a decent amount...

I've struggled a little with keeping them in place as well, I tried stacking foams the same way you did but it made the fit and sound quality worse for me. I think a big part of it is the stock cable's heatshrink is too flimsy and flexible so it doesn't hold them in place very well. I think a...

You're right, if you zoom in on the stem there's a hole drilled next to where the red ring is on what I'm guessing is the right earbud. I don't see one on the left earbud but it's probably on the other side so both holes are pointing backward if worn cable down. Very interesting design, I wonder...

That has one of the most unique stem designs I've seen, it looks like the plastic piece that holds the cable is possibly adjustable up and down? It would make wearing them over ear much easier which is one of my main hesitations about getting the Chaconne. I wouldn't be surprised if the sound...

Here's a link to the OpenHeart Nightingale, you might not be finding it through search since it's not called the Nightingale in the product title but it does list that name in the product description. If that link doesn't work you could try ordering the LCP version of this earbud from XinYue...

Thanks for your concern, I appreciate it. That's good to hear, sometimes I'm a little off my rocker when I don't feel well lol. _insert apology here_ No worries, I was willing to take the risk based on what I've read about it so don't worry about feeling like you didn't give the whole picture...

I'm not by any means, I just figured it would be a good place to start since each brand seems to have a preferred sound signature. I have looked at reviews for several of their earbuds but I wasn't sure how they compared to newer options since most of the reviews are over six years old at this...

Does Toneking have any earbuds that are somewhere between the TP16 and Green Mamba? I just got the TP16 and while I like the sound it doesn't have as wide of a soundstage as I would like but I don't want to go overboard with something like the Green Mamba. The Unicorn looks interesting but I...

I agree that the Mojo2 has amazing EQ but it's in a completely different price bracket and doesn't have built-in Bluetooth which as much as it pains me to say it I prefer for mobile use over dealing with a dongle DAC plugged into my phone. I know there's a Bluetooth module available but it adds...

Just had it happen again, it's not time related as I had just plugged it into my phone but the music was paused. I did have a Bluetooth audio device connected to my phone as well but I don't think that was the case the first time. Double checked the volume before pressing play and it was set...

That's good to hear, I don't know the exact sequence of events that caused this just writing what I can remember leading up to this.

That's what I was seeing as well, as much as it's a headline feature of this DAC/amp if it doesn't work well I'd rather not have (and pay for) it at all. You would think Fiio could have a functional EQ by now but I had similar issues with my BTR5 so it's not great to see they're still struggling...

It's not great to hear that I'm not the only one who's experience problems, are there any other major issues people have had with the M1P? I tried searching to see if anyone else had this issue or if it was a one-off but Head-Fi's search isn't that great.
