I dit it! It took quite some time but everything went pretty OK considering it was my first time soldering and holding a multimeter :) I have to agree, I need smaller fingers for such tiny sticky things :) After a short listen I can tell they sound very decent, safe. Yes, I do like them. To...

I think I already spent more and haven't even started making anything :D Some of the stuff is still on the way including the IEC711 coupler with soft pinna, which were the most expensive there. I should be listening to the mt877's Destiny a couple hours later today. Unless I am hopeless at...

I asked ChatGPT, Grok3 and Gemini for a DAP recommendation to drive these 600 ohm beasts and I they all were more optimistic than you :) :D SHANLING M6 Ultra, Fiio M23 and HiBy R6 Pro II were recommended most, but as I understand even the FiiO would struggle there. But yeah, experienced this...

What kind of shells? I also have a pair or these but will keep them for later when I already know what I am doing :)

Good to know. It looks like I'll finally have more free time for my first build this weekend. I already have several different drivers on hand but this should be the "Destiny" as well.

ups, too bad. I saw another listing with MMCX shells, but is was almost double the price. Can't access taobao any more - they won't let me login unless I verify my identity somehow.

Absolutely! And then, If I don't like them enough, I will be happy to sell them to you :) By the way, I took the 4.4mm jack version. 600ohms will be a problem for sure as I will have to use them with my stationary Marantz PM5 or Creative Sound Blaster X5 which does not make much sense with...

Same with Superbuy - I paid for earphones and sometime in the future I will have to pay some extra for shipping. Not sure how much. And finally, customs duties once they reach Europe. It won't be cheap in the end.

Nope, got some error saying order payment is not possible. I have just placed an order via agent (Superbuy). I hope everything goes well. You guys made me do this buy mentioning Yinman 600 too often :)

Has anybody from UK/USA/EU tried ordering from Taobao? I have just created an account, added the earbuds to the cart, entered the shipping address - no problems there so far.

What the hell?! This is 100% written by some AI bot. At first, a recommendation which completely does not meet the requirement and then another weird follow-up which is also a complete nonsense.

Well if you have an amp with balanced output, then just buy a balanced cable from China again. There are plenty options with MMCX+4.4mm jack under $20. You will be rewarded with much better sound

Yeah, European Union opens some doors for us. Sadly UK went sideways with their Brexit. A couple of those drivers would cost you 2 bucks on Alibaba. As I understand, free shipping is offered for new accounts. So I took a chance and purchased the maximum amount of drivers they let for sample...

Not sure if these are the same 120ohm beryllium composite drivers @jeejack is praising, but I have just bought 10 sample pieces for 11 euros (including free promotional delivery) from Alibaba.

LCP?
