  Anyone tried Audio-Technica ATH-C770 on ebay for 10 bucks? Fake? Any good?

I ordered some last month, still waiting for them, maybe they'll come on the 17th but maybe the 31st

We covered that last week - there are current quite a few fake C770 on Taobao right now that is extremely cheap (under $10), so one would expect to get an equally cheap but also equally fake C770 from eBay as well. A real C770 from Taobao will be at least twice as expensive.

I missed that. Thank you for clarification.

Yours are from a official Taobao retailer (which means you get AT's 1 yr warranty in China). Also RMB119 is probably already discounted. The regular price is RMB159. Fake one goes around RMB59.

Don't forget to also post your "earbud hack" photos over on the new thread, DIY earbuds, as well.


Here is my mod.

If you don't like this result, you can try the Edimun tuning as well:

Apparently, there's a new venting port so you need drilling two holes approximately 1.5 - 2mm on near of the center's housing, blue tack inside and cotton to damping the side ports (at least in picture 8 looks like that). But, I believe Edifier H180 which Edimun's is based uses a different driver though, then the results will be different as expected.

Wow I may have done blue Edimonk then :grin: That blue material on the wall of the back shell could be most probably Blutac which I also did on my Monk. Thank you for the pictures mate.

Bengkel Macro rules, that is too awesome that they posted an Instagram on how to tune a driver. I have to ask iriyan some more tuning hints over BBM :wink:

Also look! TY 650!



Very positive out of the box :package: will leave impressions later tonight..

The easiest Monk mod:

The green thing in the middle hole is Blutac. By adding a tiny bit Blutac, the soundstage expands, the mid-bass tames a bit, more laid back mids and subbass gets more prominent.

Hello, I was told that Shozy Cygnus cable turns to vivid green due to oxidation after few months. what happens to the sound? Does it change the sound quality? It looks weird cable color changes...
