Earbuds Round-Up

Like I said, I should wait with posting final impressions till the sound sig has settled. At the moment they can't compete with the bass of the K's 500. But then none of my other buds can.
 
Here is a quick and dirty comparison picture

 
And a bonus pic of the cute parcel.

1st time I saw a full picture of the b320's, (even though I bought them a week ago)
 
the parcel reminded me when I bought the xiaomi piston 2 from penon's ebay

At this point, I'm actually kind of impressed I'm still waiting on an 11.11 order to arrive.  I'm kind of wondering just how much longer it'll take to arrive.  Also, I think my next two E808+ should arrive today, so I'll finally get to see if my EQ issue was isolated to the first one, or if it's all of them.  I know @vapman would EQ the hell out of them and didn't have any problems, so I have assumed it was just mine.

Don't over-drive them for the first day or so. I have a suspicion that's how I ruined one of my E808+. It sounded OK on the first hour of burn-in but became very harsh sounding later, and never settled into their typical sound signature, no matter the amount of burn-in. I have since set the burn-in volume to a more moderate level and have done more than half dozen of them with no problem. It's no clear proof of my suspicion, but better safe than sorry.

@purplesun I usually do my burning at around listening volume, but never higher than I'd listen to.  My current E808+ actually sounds quite good, but it cannot handle any sort of bass EQ as something starts to sound loose, so I eventually ordered two more.  I've been using it for gaming and tv/movie watching on my PC via Mojo and really do like the sound, and honestly it might be my favorite budget earbud even considering the flaw.  If the others can handle some EQ, and no I don't push anywhere as much as Vapman does, I will be quite pleased.  Either way, I look forward to comparing two E808+ together.

I just finished recabling a pair of e808+ and I must say I can hear an improvement. Between my regular pair and the recabled one the recabled sound s more controlled and the highs have been tamed. Also the y-cable is MUCH better than the j-cable. :D



Lookin good bro. I need to get off my butt and recable one of my sets.


Damn, i wanted to recable to a Y shaped cable but want to retain the crazy trebles (enjoying it)

Anyone have any idea on any cables that is good for this project?

You can buy Zen black on Aliexpress or veclan.com.

In the Cypherus thread here on Head fi you can get in touch with Herry of Cypherus. Here's a post from a guy who has got the same DAP as you and who owns both Zen black and CAX black: http://www.head-fi.org/t/826036/cypherus-audio-products-discussion-thread-campfred-earbuds-qfred-earbuds-and-cax-golden-reference/330#post_13183994

I'm always towards buying the best of the best. I've sent mr Cypherus an email, hopefully he'll reply. If he could make the CAX Golden Reference I'd buy, would also be happy with the black edition.
