L What? So you're set to do DIY now? That makes me happy. I am also happy for you you've got the Nightinggale back up and running! 🤩

I tune by ear. Absolutely recommend starting with two identical buds. You will be able to compare best like that. If you have done something that sounds great, bring the other bud to the same level. It is also good to listen to a known good earbud in between too, to make sure your hearing is not...

And that is the most important...😊 It is difficult to view somebody you've had a conversation with as legendary. They have helped me out a lot and I got a lot of great tips so far. So thank you guys! 🙏

Oh! I had understood these buds were made by a legendary maker going by the name of FranQL and were never sold but only gifted to friends and the build recipes were a secret. HIs name sounds very sweet in my ears, and should he ever decide to open a business, I'll buy one of his buds no matter...

Good point! The distance the air has to travel after a deep bass strike and the under-/overpressure this causes in the enclosure are probably very quickly eliminated in such a small enclosure as an earbud! 👌 Never thought about it like this before.

I would like to add something to this: If you'd be buying a flathead for 400€ I think you are expecting a balanced sound. Sure it can have a certain specialty - vocals to die for or crazy good imaging or crazy good staging. Or great bass quality and texture. Or a specialist for orchestra or a...

How?!? No. The most expensive driver I could find cost me 50€ on sale... So I guess you could spend 100€ on materials if you bought it from the wrong (as in overpriced) shops.

Well... So I finished the tuning. Then I checked the result vs the brighter tuning of "Destiny". Aaaaand: It sounds the same! 🙈 This means: Destiny sounds so awesome, I don't want it to sound different! But: as a result at least I created a recipe for an identical sounding "Destiny" if one would...

This picture just to have some earbud content for this post as well... 😆 I am tuning a "Destiny" variant right now with two buds side by side for comparison. When I'm done I'd like to release the build as "Destiny Version 0.9". Naming it 1.1 would imply it is better, but that's of course not...

Yay! Ahem I mean Jaj!! Building it atm. Dont have Huayunxin horseshoe, will use normal medium ones. If it sounds great, then good, if not I'll try high density... 😁👍 You like that or not? Unsure when seeing that emoji. Did you build the brighter tuning variant or the darker one?

May be. But the bass tube does not only influence the bass. When closing the basstube with my fingers while listening bass extension gets less, but also soundstage is reduced, and i think there is a little less air. The sound gets a tiny bit "boxy". Btw it is only this driver where it works like...

There!!!! You did it! You released a build recipe to the community! 😜 Have you thought about a name?

Which Huayunxin store do you buy material from? I cannot find any horseshoe or tuning paper there... You think a normal horseshoe will work too? Well, no matter - I'll try! 😉 My 300LCP project in MX500 has come to a stop. i cannot find any more treble. I am tuning two identical buds in the mx500...

Honestly the price of a driver does often not correlate with the sound quality. Some cheap drivers are awesome and some expensive ones are not so great at all. My experience so far with the more expensive drivers with high ohmage is that they are very hard to tune compared to the cheaper ones...

On the photo there where only 3 visible. But 8 open 1,5 mm holes would basically take the shell out of the equation regarding tuning I guess. Damn!!! 😆 I think this is some Huayunxin driver. As well as the one on the pic @jeejack posted. As well as the 300r lcp I am obsessing over. Btw: love...
