    DIY Earbuds

    I can't seem to find sellers selling premade MX500 shells with MMCX sockets (I found one listing but I don't want transparent shells). I was thinking of buying these to put into the shells: Do I need to prepare the shells before brute-forcing the sockets in, like threading the holes...

    DIY Earbuds

    I'm new to the DIY scene as well. Too bad it's not stickied but Rary's guide is awesome: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PRXhXgAr8N-EiNk3K9Cuqd36LeS5JB7ZuFDAgJbTCm8/htmlview# It has a list of drivers and accessories with links (although some of the links expired but you can manually...

    DIY Earbuds

    Is there a guide or video on how to solder MMCX shell (like these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004043524681.html) to a driver and to the cables?

    Walnut F1

    So, the USB port on my Walnut F1 broke and I failed to repair it. While browsing for a replacement, I noticed the Walnut amplifiers have been completely discontinued. Does anyone know what happened to them? Are they coming back? What are some budget alternatives? I like to be able to roll OP amps.

    Feedback by 'ricesteam' on listing 'VE Asura 3.0FE and Megatron bundle'

    I sold this to @tgx78. I wanted to leave a positive feedback but I'm not sure how to do it this current version. As a buyer, he was super friendly, patient and his communication was excellent.

    Excellent like new condition. Used for less than 1h to test. These sound amazing but wasted on me because I work from home most of the time and listen to music on my speakers. These deserve a new home and I'm asking for basically what I paid for, a special preorder promo price of $108 USD (plus...

    DIY Earbuds

    This is the sound signature of the original VE Zen 1.0 (and possibly Seahf 320 v1) Anyone know if there's a driver with the same or similar sound signature?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    In the process of replacing the cable, I applied too much pressure when opening one of the buds which resulted in the membrane separating from the driver. Perhaps with the right skills and tools, one could repair it. To me, that single torn wire connecting the two components is too microscopic...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I miss my VE Zen 1.0, which I foolishly destroyed a while ago. Anyone know if there are any earbuds in today's market with the same or similar sound signature? I recall at one point the Seahf 320 v1 (smart) sounded the same or similar to it. It even looked like a rebranded Zen 1.0.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thanks! I did put a lot of thought of keeping the Diomnes Lv2. A few months of thinking, actually. In the end, raising a child is expensive lol.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Life has been keeping me busy with a new baby so I am unable to dip into this hobby for a while. Some of my buds are collecting dust and they deserve a new home. Thus, with sadness, I announce I am selling my favourite buds, the rare and elusive, Diomnes Lv 2. They are past burn-in phase but...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I have started the culling...in an effort to reduce my collection and to fund my other hobbies outside of audiophile, I am selling my Campfred 2. The decision was not an easy one, but one I must take. I have made a post in the For Sale section of the forums.
