Been researching the Shozy Cygnus, Especially vs Yuin pk2. It seems to be the best replacement for pk2 .Size wise and soundwise. The consensus seems to be that the the Cygnus has more bass than the pk2. While the pk2 has much better extension/treble. Especially this Cygnus review is very clear...

Pk2 vs Cygnus

I’m also a big fan of the yuin shell. But I happen to know it comes in different sizes. Long time ago I bought a modded yuin with special cable on eBay. It turned out to be crap. But the shell was shaped like yuin shell but a tiny bit wider. Enough so that it hurt my ears. I was also looking at...

I cannot check the driver as they are already on their way back to China for a refund. However I agree. Probably different drivers.

I change the plug first time it breaks. Second time I can’t be bothered and I buy a new pair

Nothing broken on them. My personal highly speculative opinion on the case: I think they might in fact be produced by yuin and as such not "fake". As far as yuin is concerned these are the new yuin pk2. For someone who never heard the "old" yuin pk2 how would they know otherwise. But the "old"...

Hi Headfi As I discovered that the old good yuin pk2 is now difficult to obtain. Long story. Curious?. Please read my thread. I am looking for recommendations to earbuds with similar voicing. I have already been recommended shozy xb which looks interesting.

For future reference If you come by this thread from searching and If you are considering yuin pk2. DO NOT buy the version with grey label paint. It sounds nothing like the original yuin pk2 with the white label paint which now seems rather difficult to obtain. I emailed Penon who can only...

Took a glace at Clieos's earbud ranking: Category 1: THE CHAMPIONS Sennheiser MX985 Blox TM7 Shozy BK (Stardust) Balanced VE Zen 1 Rose Technology Mojito (Red/Blue Limited Edition) K's Earphone 500ohm (轮回之天道) Balanced Rose Technology Masya I actually owned the Blox TM7 and found them no...

Thanx for all the replies. I had some more time to compare the two yuins after leaving the new ones to burn in most of the day. They sure do look alike. Except for the different coloured logo and a little thinner cable on the new ones. But the sound is very different. The old original Yuins...

Thanx for reply I have tried all the yuin competitors. While some of them sound pretty good. They are bigger and don’t fit my ear as well. I also feel people tend to underestimate how good the yuins really are. too me the pk2’s will never be surpassed. was hoping someone could verify if he’d...

Just received new yuin pk2's from ebay. I have owned a lot as they brake. This new pair sounds off and doesn't have the same white logo as the old ones.See picture Are they fake or did Yuin quality drop ?

Thank you I read that part too. Just wanted opinions about this review. I will look for one. As I am from Europe finding one used may be a little Difficult.

Thanx so much for all your input. I will of course in time change my headphones. But this system is not a big priority. It is only gaming and some music listening. Regarding the headphones I actually quite like the linkys and they were not chosen by accident. For instance I prefer them over...

I’m perfectly happy with the lindy. It’s just for my computer. I just build a new one and for some reason the onboard sound is just terrible. Was quite nice on my old pc. I’m a full size Hifi enthusiast and this I where I my focus is. For my setup I use a custom build danish audio design dac...

Yes exactly. Musical non sterile and rounded top end.

I am looking for a combined dac-amp with a warm and somewhat dark sound. I guess a little like the Naim sound. It doesn't have to be super well resolved or refined. The most important thing is it fits my tonal preferences. I borrowed a Beresford caiman from a friend and while the bass and...

       

So I figured the easiest way to re-cable Yuin pk2's would be to buy a pair of a different make and steal the cable   But it's hard to judge cable quality based on pictures.   The cheapest I can find i my country (Denmark) is. All around 14 USD:     Maxell EB 125 Abeier ACEJ-1705...

Quote:  I too found the treble excessive in the Grado sr80, 125, 225. and in the sr325 to some extend. The best balanced of the bunch was to my ears the SR60.   I don't find the HD650 treble shy. I actually found it a little sharp at times. It's just that it's constrained/confined in...

So I auditioned the Sennheiser HD650's. Hmm well they are the best I have heard so far. However I found them a bit too laid back and a bit attack unwilling if that makes any sense . Moreover, I had this strange feeling of a constrained or closed in treble as all the...

Quote: As I live en Denmark they might be next to impossible to get next to  I will try to find a place to listen to Sennheiser HD 650. But I'm already concerned if I don't like these either. Where to go from there ? Sennheiser HD800, Beyerdynamic T1 ?

Quote: Yeah if need be. I have this odd feeling I'n not going to find the sound I'm looking for without spending a little more..   

Thanx so much for replies guys  Was feeling a little lonely    I will checkout the senn's but why the HD600 and not the HD650's which many here seems to use ? And do they offer more deep bas than the DT880's   Initially the headphones were just meant to be plugged strait into my Xonar dx...
