Peterek, glad to see you back on Head-Fi. I never heard back from you re: the cables I sent to you back in 2018. But all good, just glad to see you're OK.

Anyone know what happened to the originator of this thread, PETEREK? I sent him a cable I screwed up that he agreed to repair in April, and he seems to have gone radio silent since then. Cable wasn’t all that fancy or expensive, but he’s not responded to emails or PM’s. Hope he’s ok? This thread...

WOW! Incredible work – wish I had it when I did my mod LOL. Thanks for documenting this!

Scroll up a few posts where I took a picture of exactly what you need!

Ok, so I think I figured things out! As it turns out, it wasn't the headphones (but now I have a new problem LOL)! When I tried the cable I made, the sound was crackly and quiet in the right ear. When I tried a premade cable, it wasn't crackly, but it was still quiet in the right ear. SO... as...

Hi there, just tried this mod and something went funky with my DT770's. However... first, something that might help – it appears as though Beyerdynamic has changed the internal wiring, as all previous image had "tabs" which the wires were soldered too. Now, there is a very tiny circuit board...

hockeyb213, Exact same thread, with the exact same title, started 3 days ago: Livewires Vs. Freq. A simple search before starting a thread is always the best way to go, to keep forums as tidy as possible. john

Ty, I've been in the same quandary as you, although trying to decide between the LiveWire's and the FreQ Show. I think Powertoold said it best - flip a coin! john

This thread was just started a few days ago: IEM for around $100? Good luck in your search! john

This is a great discussion, as more drivers usually means more $$$ - how much of that is marketing and how much is actually improvement upon the delivery of sound? I'm trying to decide between a 3-driver FreQ Show and a 2-driver Livewire, so this is either making my decision that much easier...

This is particularly interesting to me, as I'm deciding between Livewires & FreQ Shows, and despite the FreQ shows having three drivers with crossover, you rate the Livewires as being higher quality... any explanation? Really nice job, HA! Thanks for all your work! john

Thanks, Revel. The Livewire's seem cool - the only advantage that the FreQ Show's seem to offer is the crossover - is it worth $100? You got me!

Ok, after a lot of reading and talking to various companies, I've narrowed it down to a few different earphones: FreQ Show $349 Livewires $249 Both made in USA (although their drivers/speakers are made in China), both dual-driver, and both are well received here on Head-Fi . The FreQ Show...

Thanks Will! I'll read up on both of those - they both seem great. john

CandlePowerForums It's a flashlight enthusiasts forum... and it's probably just as hard on your wallet as this can be - especially if the word "Titanium" is involved. Look out!

Jeez - PCMike, wquiles... you'd think this was CPF! Hey fella's! john, aka jch79 - I've come to LEARN!

Great review - thanks for all of your work, and for sharing it! john

You just blew my mind, ClieOS! Back to reading! Thanks for all the links! I'll amend my list above to include those! It looks like I have some more research to do, as far as what's best for my budget range (hopefully under $500). john
