Hey, thanks for your reply. You know, I vaguely remember looking at those 64ohm Composited Titanium drivers a whole while back when I purchased my first parts, but I didn't end up ordering them for whatever reason. Maybe I'll order them this time, though I wonder if they're sufficiently...

I was kindly reminded that this thread exists in the earbud round-up thread. These past few months I've had fun tinkering with my diy earbuds using the 32 red dot and 150 blue glue drivers. The 150bg have seen the most usage, since I find them to be more detailed and overall better than the 32...

Ah, I apologize. I had sorta forgotten that DIY has a seperate thread. Oh dear, is the 80 lcp from NCS bad in some way? I recall reading in this thread that one or two people were rather pleased with it, but maybe I'm misremembering.

These past few months I've had fun tinkering with my diy earbuds using the 32 red dot and 150 blue glue drivers. The 150bg have seen the most usage, since I find them to be more detailed and overall better than the 32 red dot. It's been a pretty enjoyable experience. I'm sure my humble 150bg...

Those silver buds with the purple foams are really pretty! Are the RY cables stiffer than the tiger cables in your experience? I have one bud that uses the tiger cable and I like it well enough. The problem I had with my B40 4core cable is that it got rather stiff, so if I rolled it up or bent...

Got my first diy order about ready to go, after spending most of the day going through the DIY thread and this one and looking at other DIY builds. I just gotta root around the shed tomorrow and see if I actually still have some soldering tin still around like I remember, otherwise I'll order...

Hello wonderful people. I'm trying to get my shopping list together for my first diy buds. I'm basing myself on Rary's guides and I've already had some help in the earbuds round-up thread. But I figured these questions would be better placed here: Cables: - I get the impression (from both the...

Thanks! I'll start off with my current dongle then. If it still turns out to need more, I can always look locally for a new amp. Thank you for the tuning tips. Would you recommend any other drivers as "first bud friendly"? Just so I can weigh my options. I'm assuming all the drivers listed in...

Thanks for the write-up! I'm also looking into placing my first parts order soon for diy buds. I was so impressed by the berserker 2's I got from Rikudougoku that I spent some time digging out the old soldering iron from the attic. I've been eyeing the same 150 ohm blue glue drivers. Current...

I also got word that my berserker 2 is on the way earlier today. Very excited to get my hands on it and hear it in action. Big thanks to @RikudouGoku for making it of course, and also @mt877 and @WoodyLuvr whose reviews convinced me to go for one of the rikubuds.

Thank you for the link, I'll have a read through there. Oh dear, I had no idea IEM's got so expensive. Maybe me being unable to use them is a blessing in disguise, so I don't get tempted to raid my wallet :stuck_out_tongue: Not right now no. The only two DIY people who sell that I know of so...

Yeah, that is kinda what I figured. Buds in general seem like really good bang-for-your-buck, but I suspect there comes a point where there's only so much improvement you're likely to see within a price category. True, the prices themselves are very reasonable. I more meant it in the sense...

Oh no, absolutely. If I gave off the impression that I was feeling forced/pressured into agreeing or buying, that certainly wasn't my intention. I'm very happy that you guys are willing to give pointers and recommendation, I seriously would never find even half of these earbuds on my own. I...

Unfortunately that 114$ turns into about 145 euro once shipping and taxes are included. EU VAT is a bit of a bummer, but at least aliexpress prepays them so I don't have to pay the lads at the customs office for "administrative fees", which tend to add another 20-30 euro. Besides that, I'm not...

Been doing some review reading and comparing and whatnot these past few days. Right now I'm considering either the yincrow rw-2000, the fiio ff3, or some flavour of diy bud. The rw-2000 seems like a all round good bud, but at the 160-180 euro I currently find it at it's a little pricey to my...

Oh, I see, that's very fortunate. I'm going to look at a chi-fi first for now, but I go the DIY route later/instead I'll check them out. I had kind of written off the EB2S purely because of the anime waifu boxart, but it's good to hear that it's actually good. Would you say either the M2s Pro...

Thanks, I'll have a look around what they're offering. Though I have to say, I'm hesitant to order anything from the US. Shipping is bad enough, but the extra VAT (not so bad) + customs/administrative fees (bad) tend to not make it worth it. One of my packages from the US is also the only one so...

Been a while since I checked in here. About a year ago I got the LBBS and the Yincrow X6. The LBBS is a good little bud, sounds good to me both with and without EQ. However, it pretty quickly got relegated to the bud drawer because I cannot for the life of me get a good fit with it. I think it's...

My Yincrow X6 and LBBS arrived a couple of days ago, pretty dang fast by aliexpress standards. So far, the X6 is right up my alley. The low end is good, it's detailed enough, but it's also just fun and not fatiguing to listen to. Great when listening to background music when reading or listening...

Oh great, thank you for confirming that. I panicked there for a second :sweat_smile: I also just now noticed that your review is the first one on that listing, completely missed that somehow.

Oh, did I screw up ordering? The naming on aliexpress gets confusing sometimes. I got the first option from here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32983779232.html The ones with the cloth around part of the cable.

Thanks for the heads-up, I was gonna wait to order until I got off work but I jumped on it. And thanks for all the advice in the thread from everyone, I ended up going for the Bell-LBS and the Yincrow X6. I've got high hopes for both, can't wait until they arrive. And if it turns I wanted...

True, but those are only for the included ones, right? From the "standard" database. If I were to use RikudouGoku's lbbs EQ settings in peace apo and then convert them to the wavelet format, wouldn't it be the same as using an app with PEQ? It's very possible I'm totally misunderstanding things...

Did some googling around, and I found this github page for something that apparently converts peace apo parametric EQ to the autoEQ format wavelet uses. I mean, that's what I'm reading, but I'm unsure if it'll actually have the desired effect. I do use spotify the vast majority of the time (it's...

Does wavelet count as PEQ? Sorry, I'm still not very good at all the terminology of these kinds of things. Argh, you're kinda like the little devil to RikudouGoku's angel on my shoulder, tempting from one earbud to another. Or is it the other way around? :stuck_out_tongue:
