    I was browsing Aliexpress today and came across a picture of what looks like a planer earbud driver in a photo from the comment section on this link. Does anyone know where these drivers came from? I've been out of the loop for a while now.

    DIY Earbuds

    Interesting, thanks for sharing. I am pretty confident saying the difference in FR between channels in the white Vido I have is due to driver variation. I Don't have all the measurements anymore to prove this, but I did measure the earbuds before ever opening them, and these were glued firmly. I...

    DIY Earbuds

    I found a couple by searching "diy mic" on aliexpress. Here they are, one and two. They were on the first page, I didn't go through the rest so there may be more. Also, I'm not sure if they are for android or not.

    DIY Earbuds

    I couldn't find any specifically listed as DP100 covers, but I believe these are the same. They come with drivers in the covers, but you can easily rip them out if you don't like them. In my last post I said "the front cover for both the DP100 and mx760 looks identical in design". This...

    DIY Earbuds

    Nice job on your earbuds, they look awesome. I don't think there are too many rules of thumb here. I think results are very much driver dependent, and what works well for one driver won't for another. For example, the DIY Graphene uses tuning foam glued to the rear shell ports, and tuning...

    Not yet, but I plan on it :) Not expecting any drastic quality differences overall, but it will be cool to have.

    DIY Earbuds

    I just opened a non mic Vido to compare. The drivers and tuning configuration are the same. I suspect any changes in FR are due to driver variation. My white Vido has one treblier driver than the other. I mentioned it in past posts. I do think the driver with more treble is better, and having...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    It seems there has been a real graphene earphone membrane made in a lab, check out this link, but you are right, this membrane would have to be super thin if it was a single layer of graphene. Maybe they sprinkled some graphite on the membrane and dubbed it a graphene driver lol.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I really like the DIY Graphene earbud, but I don't think the driver has a real graphene membrane. I think at best it might be graphene coated, but it could even just be marketing BS. I opened mine up and took some photos of the inside. Here they are: Still, it is a very nice earbud imo.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I don't think he has measured any of the newer earbuds, which people in here would consider TOTL. You would probably be surprised how good bass response can be in an earbud these days, but still there will be a steeper roll off compared to an IEM. The thing with earbud bass though is that it is...

    I am curious about the other Aliexpress listings as well. I like the look of this build in clear color better than the NiceHCK, but they have some weird tiny looking driver in some of the photos. Not sure what that is about lol.

    DIY Earbuds

    haha those Lab II clones are pretty funny. The vent design is indeed nothing like the original. Cool they managed to get the mmcx connection in there. If they were priced like the DIY piano forte shells they could be a cool purchase. Btw I managed to get mmcx connections on my DIY PF. I will...

    No I haven't. Doesn't look like Arta is available on Linux. I will try running it in a VM sometime to check it out. A white noise measurement should look less smooth compared to a sine sweep, because it shows more distortion, at least that is my understanding.

    DIY Earbuds

    It seems that the DIY Graphene actually uses a Beyerdynamic DP100 shell, not mx760 like the description says. When searching google for Sennheiser mx760's you will see that the mx760 shells actually look like these. When comparing google image results, the front cover for both the DP100 and...

    hahaha, yeah they don't sound the way they look in the graph. A perfectly flat sounding earbud wouldn't look like a flat line in my graphs.
