Earbuds Round-Up
Sorry for your bad experience. I have 20 year old buds that still work fine, I have recently bought about 15 sets of drivers with none DOA. Personal experience is one thing, but I am certainly not reading here or elsewhere that people are experience major quality issues. I hope you find what...- fordgtlover

Which shell are you using. I found the 64 ohm Comp Ti. driver to be very muffled. Removing the stock damping pad improved it a tiny bit.- fordgtlover

It's a bit interesting. I am finding treble on IEMs and earbuds hits a bit differently. It's quite conceivable that I...- fordgtlover

Thank you. That was wonderful. It seems the VE APWS is no longer available. Are there general opinions that other VE sets are of good quality and value?- fordgtlover

Very interesting, how can I get my hands on a pair of Blue Moon earbuds? I am absolutely interesting in buying the best value sets I can. I absolutely love the details the Serratus offers with well produced music. Hahaha... absolutely, I would love to be your friend :) I am over the age of 50...- fordgtlover

Earbuds Round-Up
I have just finished some baseline measurements on a bunch of drivers I bought. Most are lacking in treble. I will try modding the ones with more treble and see how I go. I am using a DIY coupler, but I am using the TGX Serratus as a reference point. The measurements are broadly correlating to...- fordgtlover

Beautiful build. Are you able to share our tuning approach for the PET driver? I have a set on the way for a set of MX500 shells :)- fordgtlover

It seems reasonable that foams that interfere with the seal between the earbud and the ear will result in a loss of bass. I haven't had the experience of foams reducing treble. Thanks heaps for your detailed response :)- fordgtlover
