    Earbuds Round-Up

    Oof, I also had my Yinman 600 returned before arriving from AVCCK too. They said it was a logistics error and I could reorder but I don't think I will now. I did get a refund, but I did not get my 11/11 coupon back. It actually took a month after the original order for it to even ship because...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    K's 300 is my daily driver since around the same time and I got a Yinman 600 on the way soon. I'll give you a quick comparison when they get here, but it may take a few weeks.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    :ok_hand: I got the Yincrow RW-3000 and Yinman 600 instead. The aliexpress 46 usd coupon was too tempting. I might be back later to post impressions, but otherwise, see you all next 11/11, this thread is too dangerous lol

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Soundcore VR P10 For anyone searching this thread on info as I've done many times, it's legit if you want low latency wireless. I got it for $55 off Amazon on sale this week. Sub 20-30ms latency, very close to wired, noticeably better than any bluetooth wireless I've tried that advertises a low...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    How much was it after discount? Aliexpress search is awful and won't find anything I want, but google easily turned up a few other K's 300 listings. This one is 121 USD, never heard of the store though: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804879642974.html The other mentions got me intrigued...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Link is broken, is there another one that works? Is this the same as the K's 300 Samsara from years back? I don't remember "reincarnation" being attached to the name unless this is a new version of the Samsara. To add to the confusion, is the "520" the K's 500? If they're still selling this I...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    This may be a long shot, but does anyone know of any earbuds with bass quality and extension like the VE Zen 1.0? I stopped keeping track of this thread like 3 years ago after I got the K's 300 Samsara, which basically checked all the boxes for me. But just recently, I dug up my old Zen 1.0 to...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    In case you were wondering about the durability of some of these IEMs: I recently performed the "car test" on my Bomaker SiFi 1 using a 2012 Honda Civic on a concrete driveway. I'm happy to report that my SiFi suffered only minor scratches and a slightly cracked shell. It still works and sounds...

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!

    No, the D10 just has a V-shaped sound. What I did was switch tips until I found a pair that deemphasized the sub/mid-bass just enough. I'm not sure which tips would work best for you, but the slimmer ones worked best for me (not so slim that the seal breaks though).

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!

    I got my D10 from Penon last week and just wanted to say thanks. I have no comparisons or poetic review, but the D10 checks all the boxes I've been looking for in an IEM for a decade: ergonomic fit (the best over-ear I've ever worn), non-garbage cable, good isolation, and legit bass. I've bought...

    What is your primary ear bud foam cover type and set up?

    I voted single donut but honestly it depends on the earbud regarding donut vs. full. My favorite foams are the thicker ones from the VE ex-pack. I read those were the same as Trig Rain foams, but not 100% sure.

    Tiny, ultra-slim IEMs (e.g. Vsonic VC1000, Ety ER4)

    Thanks, the Final Audio E/F series look great, and they have detachable cables as well! I didn't know Final Audio started making more budget friendly IEMs. Thanks. I forgot about the q-Jays, thanks. They'll definitely be on my shortlist. Yup, that makes sense. They look a tad bit bulkier than...

    Tiny, ultra-slim IEMs (e.g. Vsonic VC1000, Ety ER4)

    Thanks, those are larger than what I'm looking for though. Those Rose Mini4 looks great, and I love that it has a detachable cable. Thank you.

    Tiny, ultra-slim IEMs (e.g. Vsonic VC1000, Ety ER4)

    Hi, Does anyone have recommendations for physically small, thin IEMs? The VC1000 is the most comfortable IEM I've ever used, but mine are starting to fall apart. Besides the VC1000 (now discontinued), I can think of the Ety ER4 and Klipsch X5, but don't know what else is out there.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    You're not the only one +2. I've also not touched my OMX980 in ages. Next time will probably be when I sell it to whoever would want it nowadays..

    THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

    I can finally contribute something! But I didn't DIY this, my sister did after I balked at throwing down $200 for a Sieveking Omega. It's made with solid ash and traditional woodworking joinery. 100% hand cut, sanded, and oiled. Nice and sturdy, unlike the flimsy Omega knockoffs on Amazon and...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    What's the difference between version 1 and 2 of K's 500 ohm? I can't find an explanation anywhere, on the aliexpress page or searching here.

    Earbuds Round-Up

      I was just told mine shipped, finally after 2 1/2 months. They had some Ramadan delays and then Iriyan said something about getting government permission to legally sell with worldwide EMS or something, idk. yours will probably come soon      I havent been here in a long time and now this...

    Impressions of the Official Head-Fi Houston Fourth-of-July Weekend Meet: Saturday - July 2nd, 2016 @ Looscan Library

    First meet ever - very interesting. And overwhelming. You definitely gotta strategize for depth vs breadth. I thought there was more than enough time to get to every table, but people were packing up before I knew it.   I took the try-everything approach so I couldn't get too deep into the...

    Official Head-Fi Houston Fourth-of-July Weekend Meet: Saturday - July 2nd, 2016 @ Looscan Library

    wow, a Houston meet! Never been to a meet before so I got some nooby questions. If we bring stuff can we still go around the room to other people's tables? And how does the hygiene thing work if you bring earbuds? Wet wipes?   if yacob can't make it, I can help spread the gospel of earbuds -...

    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    https://www.massdrop.com/buy/venture-electronics-monk-plus-earbud   Still $5+3 shipped to US. Ship date June 24.     As if I didn't have enough monks already! maybe I should've given one of them a paint job instead.

    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    @zhibli06 @vapman   yes, I should've mentioned that ultimately it comes down to sound preference and physiology of your ear. very finicky stuff, as with all earbud foams. and maybe my ears are just weird, as i've never fathomed how most people seem to listen to the Zen 2 naked or with rubber...

    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    guess i'm late because my monk+ took 3 weeks to arrive but i'll give my impression anyway :)   so first thing - im sorry but dear god, the included red/blue foams are TERRIBLE. uncomfortable and just barely better than wearing naked. pretty unfortunate, as I'm sure many people won't have a...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Anyone with both the Seahf 320/400 and KC08 that can compare the two? All this talk about amazing bass response has me curious enough to buy one for fun.
