    Earbuds Round-Up

    Just got my RW-2000 today and my Rider 1 is in the mail. Between those and the fact that I should be able to set up to do some soldering soon, I should be set for a while. At least as long as there's no big, impossible to resist sale.

    Pulled the trigger on the Yincrow RW-2000. Got it for $105 USD after tax and discount codes.

    Is $110 a good price for the RW2000? Otherwise, I'll probably get the Alpha 3 or FF3S.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I prefer balanced or mid-bass boosted neutral. I have a Tempotech Sonata HD Pro, but for anything that doesn't require the bit of extra juice it provides, I just use my phone's 3.5mm jack. I also have a Fiio E10K that I use when I'm on my computer. I also have a Fiio M3 Pro, but I haven't used...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hey, I'm looking at some of the stuff on the winter sale on Ali, and I was wondering what's worth getting. The Toneking TO400 is $50, the Fiio FF3 is $60, and the HZ Sound Bell rhyme is $20. Are any of these worth getting? Are there others that I should check out instead?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Most of my stuff has finally shown up. Unfortunately, it's supposed to storm all week and I don't have an indoor workshop.

    All of my parts are still in China, so it might be a few weeks. BTW, so that I know for when they're done, can you post pictures here from your locally stored files or do you need to link to images that are hosted somewhere else?

    Sweet! Thanks! With how popular portable audio has become recently, you'd think that more people would be making videos about this stuff, but at least this document has pretty much everything I wanted to know.

    Impressions | aune AR5000 Full-Size Open Headphones with MLD Driver

    Looks classy. The tuning looks great for an open back, although it's not the style that I typically prefer. I also like how attention was given to make sure that it would still sound good being driven by a portable device.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Are there any good tutorials for working on earbuds? A lot of what I'm finding on YouTube is about replacing the jack or splicing the cable. A lot of the stuff that does show how to work with drivers is in bad quality or isn't shot well. I can't really seem to find anything about opening or...

    Blue, I think? They're being sold by Quigom Official Store on Ali.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Lurking this thread has got me interested in building custom buds myself. I've never soldered before, so I probably don't want to start with anything more complicated than attaching a cable to a driver. Are there any parts that are recommended? I found a bundle of 6 S300 drivers already set in...

    FIIO first cassette player CP13 is officially released!

    Will it use a proprietary cassette deck and tape reader, or will it just be built around the same components that most other modern cassette players use?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thanks for the replies, very insightful. I guess I should have gone into a bit more detail with my experience and tastes. I have tried the Blue Vido buds, the Snow Lotus 1.0, the Yincrow RW-100, and the Qian39. I liked the tuning on the Snow Lotus, but it wasn't quite as detailed as I would have...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hey, I've lurked around here for a while, but only just now set up an account. As information on flathead earbuds is not as easy to come by as info on IEMs, I was hoping to ask a few questions here since it seems like people here would be the ones to know this stuff. 1. I noticed a...
