    It looks like a simple broken driver, what am i missing? Very unique and interesting build, good job. :beerchug:

    DIY Earbuds

    The dome isn't Ti either, i can see the light passing through the 4 little holes in the center near the pcb. I just started experimenting with driver coatings but i wouldn't risk sacrificing anything more exepensive than a Vido driver. A resistor mod could help but so far my experiments didn't...

    DIY Earbuds

    I received the 150ohm Shoonths, i've been listening and retuning them for a couple of days and i must say that i like them but for the price i wouldn't recommend them. The stock sound is balanced, SQ is below average for the price, imaging is good except for the center channel which feels very...

    I already have the 14.8mm 32ohm Ti, they are very addicting but they are also fatiguing treble cannons. I was hoping that the 120Berys could be a more balanced alternative with 15.4mm 130Bery level of SQ but they are just a muddy mess, flat and with a very weird unpleasant tonality. I'll try to...

    There are countless Shoonth-like drivers (Foster drivers?), this is the 32ohm version with DP100 covers, the placement of the dot is very inconsistent. I will share my opinion as soon as i get them. :L3000:

    DIY Earbuds

    I bought them last week, they should be really good since they are Shoonth-like drivers, Titanium and 150ohm! :beerchug: The price is very high (the usual 2x Chitty tax), i hope they are worth the high asking price, i need something good after the huge disappointment that were the 14.8mm...

    My pair from GHXAmp has the same membrane. I don't know if it's a special kind of graphene coating or if it's just plain PET and fake advertisement, the only thing i'm sure is that it's still one of the worst DIY drivers i tried and it took countless attempts to make it sound acceptable.

    150BG, medium foam on the shell + Y3 or Y4 should be fine. N52 should sound good even whitout changing the pre-applied foam although it is usually a good idea to always replace it with a more standard HS.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Vido/X6 are a 6/10 at best in the DIY world and i'm not saying it lightly since i really love their natural and engaging sound. For a big SQ upgrade that keeps more or less the same sound signature we had the Faaeal Rosemary for years :wink:

    Beautiful earbuds! The best way to get more sub bass is to add some kind of bass tube/port and play with the inner diameter and lenght until you get the right amount of mid bass and sub bass. Since you placed the connector on top of the shell you can use the stem as a bass port. I would also...

    Yes, M2.4x10 is the right size, or M2.4x12 if you are ok with a little sanding and you want to have more flexibility with tuning and lenght.

    DIY Earbuds

    It's hard to compare earbuds to iems/headphones, the amount of bass you need and the perceived signature is determined by how well the shells fit your ears. There is no such a thing as neutral earbuds, drivers are usually classified as bassy / balanced / bright. 19-21 red dot is usually...

    DIY Earbuds

    Hi, the drivers list in the guide is more or less up to date, i will soon add a VC repairing guide and the resistor mod guide when i get some free time to write them. What kind of sound signature do you like? Budget? Price/performance wise i recommend trying 32ohm 19-21 Red dot (3-4$) and...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I get more or less the same relative difference between my Samsara and Vido (poor man X6), Although both our graphs are probably not accurate at all :grin: it's nice to see we get the same consistent gaps around 20-750Hz and 2-6kHz.
