RY cables are a solid choice, use them for my car aux and mmcx audio gear. Tho, after recently getting the Faaeal copper mmcx and removing the molded ear hook sleeve, that cable has been my daily driver. I even replaced my 2pin SPC cable with Faaeal too; just copper sounds better for me as I've...

thx! the 18 ohm is for curiosity and wanting to check out buds of all different resistances. they will go into these shells which is an inspiration from a post I read about the og gameboy earbuds. funny enough, the 3rd party GBA shells seem to be an aesthetic inspiration for the current Fiio...

@droenald right on! I also forgot to mention that I came across the qkz mdr post and have some (and pt03s) ordered for the shells. It was mentioned to me before to try *drilling* a port hole to the mx500 shell. So I have multiple options for different driver & shell combinations to try out...

awhile back, I had a few projects ready to go (replacing the broken cable from a yincrow and trying my first mmcx mx500 build w/ a 120 bery) and posting the results but some life things happened, so they are in the ever growing backlog of things. also, got new gear, a JM21 which has both...

I found a really old post somewhere where someone did the mmcx mod to an og ed9, just pictures, no write up. And when the pros came out, I bought two sets of those as well as a set of the rerelease of the ogs with the intention of trying out that mod. Do you have any pointers for trying out...

the JM21 is my mobile music player, in car and on the go etc, and I noticed a random quirk. in the car, I set 3.5mm to line out, LO, and then out the car and walking around, if I connect a BT device w/o changing back the LO to PO, the sound output on the TWS is distorted, easy to toggle back...

I wonder what's the modding potential of these shells with mx500 drivers?

the best tips for me are Elecom EHP-CAP10 for infinite comfort, great isolation, and sound quality; any tips taller than these will push the buds against my outer ear. the Block replaced these as my daily driver due to the open back nature; and despite the newer internals in the Block, the...

the noise cancelling mic has me really interested *also, will your Aliexpress store ship it on the 22nd? or will it be delivered on the 22nd?

The FM signal seems to be amazingly strong despite the size of the device, I haven't tried it out yet for my main use case, listening to a sports broadcast while attending the game, yet but I can gather that the reception will remain strong in a crowded area. The tuning dial, in conjunction with...

Hi, I received my jm21 earlier this week and I wanted to give it some time with the device before I give some feedback; this is a gear upgrade from a various usb dacs + a secondary android phone used only for a local FLAC library. tl;dr a worthy purchase. Physical: Coming from a Key2, the JM21...

at first glance, being an mx500 style flathead akin to the x6, I blind bought a non mic set. I was expecting an opposite but complementary set to the ff1 but ootb they are in similar sq territory with *less detail then the ff1. but with some peq tuning similar to how I like *to tune apple...

are there plans to release a non-mic version?

Received both ed9 (*v2) and ed9 pro today (arrived within a week which is impressive *a record* for aliX). Initial impressions: fixed cable of the pro is less microphonic than og, both shells are similar but not the same (in mm) dimensions but the og has more heft, the nozzle of the og will...

FF1 + FiiO LS-4.4B cable. Not sure how the FF1 sounds with the cable yet, and despite the proprietary connection it looks pretty sweet, nonetheless.
