Thank you for pointing out that it doesnt do AAC. Was about to order one of these but that stopped me in my tracks since i only own apple products. I would like to add a possible alternative for us that want AAC support. I found this device: Elecom PAR150BK...

I use Dragonfly Red that i got ”for free” with my Nightowl on the used market. Works really well with my Iphone SE, sounds a bit better and the additional power gives me the freedom to use my harder to drive buds. DF black is a bit cheaper though so that might be a option. Also used to own a...

I bought a Sol Republic Tracks replacement cable on Aliexpress. Cheap ( a few $ ) and durable for portable use. Im sure its on ebay or amazon also. Works really good. Regards

Some impressions after the "honeymoon period" ( = builders pride ) had subsieded for my rebuilt SR80i. Changed the pads to my old flat ones since i felt those where the most comfortable for my ears. Before i used to listen to my grado during short "bursts". They where fun but not something i...

Not that strange considering its nicehck branded. Nice buy btw. I find them most enjoyable and the price aint bad either.

Oh yes, i did remember to remove the tape :)

Some more pictures - 1: Both cups with the "passtrough" glued inside. On aliexpress its called "headphone jack tail tube protective sleeve". 2: the cosmetic disc. Basicly its that kind of disc you put between screws and material ( dont know the english word ). Painted black. 3: Both cups...

I do have a dremel....now ;) We learn from experience and im happy with the result still. If you dont know it was broken before its hard to spot now. All and all it was a interresting build :)

I tried mini xlr. At the objections of a friend i used inferior tools and methods that resulted in what is shown in pic. My patchwork turned out quite ok fortunally. Just wanted to warn so that people can lern from my mistake and not repeat it :) To be honest i didnt consider SMC until after...

Cannot give a comprehensive comparison since i first owned Elear, then sold it and got the Nightowls ( due to the need of closed cans ). But what i do remember is the slam and impact of the Elears being much greater. Grabbing your attention, for good and bad, almost forcing you to take notice...

Well, the disadvantage you mention not being able to create a decent seal, is for me atleast a earbuds greatest strength. My ears cannot tolerate sealing my earchanal off for a extended period wich causes issues. Hence a earbud resting in the outer ear is a valid option for me if i dont want...

Ah, yes. Was not aware of that thread.

Yes, im not good at describing sound but i find my recable to be more enjoyable to listen to. Tighter low end, cleaner mids and highs. My wife gave them a listen and compared to unmodded Vido. Her reaction was that she thought the sound was "more". Yeah i know, very vague but she liked my...

Well then. If coax wont dazzle you how about the Deathstar ?! Probably the most stupid Vido mod ever made ;)
