SeaHF = Bug Guys = Bug Bro

To guys who owns RX-1 and tomahawk, I wonder if your preference reflects my findings.

High - RX-1 win. Period. No contest here.
Mid - perhaps 65% towards RX-1, 35% tomahawk.
Low - tomahawk wins period. Also no contest

Some track especially male vocals I prefer RX-1, better texture / timbre. Female vocals most of the time I prefer tomahawk.

Tomahawk low is fast fast and way more textured / impact. Better in quality and quantity. I'm not a basshead but Rx-1 low always make me keep wanting for more even after bass boost. It's kinda asphyxiating (yes I mean it, literally). Maybe it's too early to judge but I doubt the low will improve on quantity.

I've tried most foams, ring and donut that I had.

Sometimes I have cured that "asphysiation" sound with a recable nad it made all the difference. Sometimes it makes no difference at all

 
Well then.... anyone got a recabled Tomahawk to try out?
 
I'm seriously super happy with my RX-1. I will probably buy one or two other bug boys (I still don't get the joke but I like the name) and be set until I lose/break them all. I still want to try the MS985 but the Mojito is almost definitely never entering my collection again.
 
edit: As i talk about not buying any more earbuds, how the heck do you order from Taobao inthe USA?

I will not tell you because you will buy more earbuds and you will blame me

Hahaha, i'm just joking. No seriously, is there a way to buy from Taobao without being able to speak Mandarin?

I have recabled my Tomahawks with Westone cable and after changing the standard black damper in the drivers to a cotton damper and removing huge glue parts the sound improved in the highs area, treble doesn't sound more "artificial flavor" which that was my big problem with this bud. I think after this mod Tomahawks can be turned into a good earbud...

I've used www.mistertao.com a bunch of times.  Never had a problem. Great customer service too (though sometimes there is a day or two delay in the responce).
 
You find the product either on Taobao or on Mistertao's website.  You pay for the items to be sent to their warehouse.  Then you pay again to have them shipped.  Even with the fees and shipping, the prices are very good.
 
PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks so much, guys. Taobao has so many great deals Ali doesn't. And all this time I thought Mister Tao was just a nickname for Taobao.
 
Do any of those services offer:

1. order combination (e.g., buy different things from different stores over a period of time, and have them ship when you're ready), or,
2. assistance with returns/warranty replacements if necessary?

 
Again thanks tons to both of you. I look forward to doing much Taobaoing in the future. Seems like the legit place to be.

And....unfortunately am not impressed. Cygnus is better to my ears. Mojito is still endgame.

 

[vapman]

We all hear differently. Nothing wrong in the slightest with it.
 
The only way to know is to hear for yourself

 
At least it would be very easy for you to find a new buyer for your RX-1

I am afraid in Bhiner order combination works only within one cart. So you can order from different TaoBao sellers but when you finalize your cart - it is closed. They accept returns only for damaged or incorrect products. When products arrive to their warehouse they unpack it and take photos - you can review these photos on their web service and if something is wrong you can tell them to send it back but you have to be quick and do it in 3 days time. Some TaoBao stores of interest:
Rose Technology, FARERL, DaiK (wooden earbuds), TY, Earphone Association, SeaHF, ERQU, So called "black horse ES series"
