Ok so last year I bought some Yurbud adapters for my IEM's. for those that don't know these are fitted earbud adapters, that act like semi custom earpieces. They are pretty cheap. You take a pic of an earbud in your ear upload the photo to their website and they size you according to that photo. These are made for earbuds but they have adapters for IEM's as well. so i tried them with my IEM's and they sounded horrible this just does not work well with IEM's. I've had a pair of Yuin's for awhile and use them with my pc for casual listening but for my main portable rig I have been using Hippo Vb's and have been happy with them. But as stated the yurbds did not work with them so I just put them away and chalked it up a loss.
Well this week I got curious as to how they would sound with my Yuin's on my SFLO:2 and was completely amazed at how well they work and now how good the Yuin's sound. Hippo's are known as bass kings but the Yuin's with the Yurbuds blow it away. The best way I can describe the sound now is the Yuin's sound more like full sized cans then IEM's or earbuds. The overall SQ blows away the Hippo VB's which to this point I was VERY VERY happy with, and in turn blows away any IEM I have ever heard and I have heard alot of them the last IEM's I used for a good period of time were the Atrio M5 and the Super FI EB both known for serious bass but pale in comparison to the Yurbud\Yuin combo.
With this new discovery I think the Yurbuds can be used to great effect on even higher end Earbuds. I'm probably going to order some Blox TM5's when they start production again in a couple of weeks. i got an email back from them stating this.
I cannot overstate how much these little yurbuds improve the sound of normal earbuds they really give you a full sized headphone feel without killing the highs and mids these are improved to.
The total cost for these Yuin's and the Yurbuds would be around 70-80$ the yurbuds are 30$ by themselves. For the price I cannot imagine a better sounding earbud\ iem. The yurbuds make earbuds into a kind of IEM.
