Yeah, but I'll keep them.

I'm selling four three pairs of earbuds that I do not use anymore: Moondrop Liebesleid - $150 Good used condition. Original box and other accessories included. 3.5mm connector. Fiio EM5 - $150 Great used condition. Everything included. Have only used one pair of the balanced foams. Sold: Blox...

Others have already replied, but I can repeat it. With earbuds fit is very important if you want them to sound good. How are your experiences with the older MX500 type shells? Yuin PK type shells? I have owned total over 100 earbuds in total and most of them fit well or okay. I recently bought...

Yeah, that might be the case. Perceived bass on earbuds depend a lot on fit. I've now tried with silicon rings as well. Both silicon rings only and silicon rings with thin VE foams over. No problems with fit for MX500 or PK shells. No fit problems with the Moondrop earbuds or Rose Mojito. But...

At least earbuds with more focus on upper midrange or treble lends some sort of "body" to the instruments. Celsus Gramo One, Rose Mojito and Moondrop Liebesleid were a bit too sharp for my liking and I sold them all (for some strange reason I bought a second pair of Liebesleid this summer to...

I would be disappointed if the FF3 sounds like EMX. I can only describe the EMX as lacking body. The instruments appear more like projections than having an actual physical presence. Different foams make no difference. Perhaps a silicon ring might? But even pushing them into my ears does not...

Off topic, so best to keep it in a

Now now, let's not argue here!

Nah. I just do not expect people to have knowledge of my activity on Head fi. Didn't even expect that back when I was more active. That's why I repeat myself all the time. I said I was sorry for the way that comment was phrased. But it was not ill intentioned. It was just a passing comment...

Point taken. Before I interact with anyone here I read all of their posts in this thread and create a complete profile that can be cross referenced with their activity on other Head fi threads and other forums. It used to be a lot simpler here. And it was mainly in the sound science forum that...

I managed to download the version with ClieOS' comments on each earbud. I remember he removed that after people gave him a hard time about it ("I don't think the x earbuds sound warm!!!")

Yeah, perhaps. You have been on Head fi for a long time and have a lot of posts. Except for perhaps 100 posts on other threads, I have only been on this thread all of these years. I also used to spend a lot of time on the forums of Anythingbutipod. Too bad that place is gone now. This place is...

I do not want to speculate about other people here. Have not had any problems at all during 12 years (well, 10 if you exclude the last 2 or so years when I hardly even came to Head fi and didn't write in this thread). The only names I remember clearly are yours and digititus. RikudouGoku had...

Except for the Red Dragon, I have never paid over $300 for a pair of earbuds. I got the SWD2+ for $199 on Drop, the Chaconne was second hand (about 16 000 yen if I remember correctly). All of the vintage Sony and Aiwa earbuds were bought before the prices skyrocketed. I could pay €150-200 for a...

But peanuts compared to the price of TOTL IEM:s...

Not ignorant at all. The problem can be that something that looks good and professional can be not very good at all (looking at you, Celsus Gramo One and apparently also 7HZ Beatles). While something that looks pedestrian and plain can surprise. That was why I joined here over 12 years ago, to...

FranQL makes his own earbuds? What happened here? When I last was active about 2 years ago hardly anyone on Head fi were making and selling their own earbuds. I suppose the pandemic did lead to one good thing...

If you are ever near Stockholm you are welcome to try the Red Dragon out. Looks can be deceiving. Like the old proverb: "don't judge an earbud by its shell". But I do not think that anyone who wasn't already a fanboy of a brand would invest so much money...

I have not followed you at all. In the old days there used to be earbud DIY threads and people were adviced to keep DIY discussions there. Don't know if there still are any such threads, though. Do people have to read all your comments before addressing you? Why do I feel like I wound up in...

Thanks for biting the bullet, my friend. Then that one is off the list! Celsius Gramo One was my first earbud over $200 and your impressions of the 7HZ Beatles remind me of my impressions of the Gramo One.

Definitely. TGX78's earbuds look very nice. But a few years I decided to only buy low impedance earbuds that can easily be driven by a simple DAP (for example a Sansa Clip). Riku's earbuds also look interesting. Might check one or two of them out. You have to remember that Cypherus earbuds are...

I came across it on Aliexpress by accident. Costs $259 and I hope that will go down on Black Friday.

Yeah, I hate things like this as well. A small general comment being blown up to gigantic proportions like it was a slap to someones face. Since I have not heard any of your earbuds my comment has no relation whatsoever to them. It was just a general comment. You seem intent to misunderstand and...

Man, it was a general statement, not a personal attack. Perhaps I'm too used to Swedes and Japanese people. We take things and statements at face value and do not look for ulterior motives or meanings. Everyone starts somewhere and work their way to perfection. I have pretty much been away from...

Sorry, didn't mean it like that. Perhaps I should have phrased it another way. I sort of meant that after working on different earbuds and experimenting and perfecting your skills you might be able to make it a sort of second career. At most I have changed cable on an earbud and would probably...
