I have recently acquired the HD558 in excellent condition for 40 EUR and replaced the rubber band inside the earcups with some damping felt. After some EQ adjustments in the higher frequency range, I truly enjoy them. To my ears, they offer a balanced sound with a fantastic soundstage and...

Would you please stand up for the Head-Fi anthem

That's a nice one for a day on a beach. And the work of a professional, as opposed to mine (:

I'm already at No 5 :L3000:

I am aware of the Kramer mod, but it seems too intrusive and risky for my skills, so here is a different modification, very simple to execute, yet with audible and pleasant results. Just take a ball pen and use it to increase the size of the round holes on the back of the shells. You don't need...

OK the pads from Ali have arrived. They're about the same size as the stock pads, but the texture is different - thicker and softer. I've put them over the original pads and the result is positive. Both the comfort and the sound improved, though I did have to lower the bass frequencies a bit and...

That ridiculous DHL only shipping for my country has been finally updated after two years so I was able to order the B40 at 10 EUR again instead of 150 EUR. They were marked with only 5 left notice when I was ordering them at the famous Aliexpress shop couple of days ago. I hope it relates only...

To clarify the the things - I'm only mixing (or at least trying to) and then spin the mixes while I ride my bike or wash dishes. ( : And there is the mix No. 3 right there!

Hey thanx for the tip! I've just found these at our local store and they cost only 4 EUR. The ksc75 drivers fit perfectly into the holding elements of the Hama headband. Nothing broke during the transition. Comfort is better with the headband and I can hear more bass and firmness, but also the...

Currently my own :ksc75smile: I'm still learning, but it's great fun already

Cool new music

No, these are ordinary $4 red RY4S with reddish cable. I use them for YouTube at my office and for podcasts while commuting and they are fine for that. In terms of SQ, they are clearly behind EMX500s and Snow Lotus 1.0+

This is so sad. It was only a few months ago when I couldn't find any comments about these and decided to order them almost in blind faith and now they're gone. I'll have to take extra care about my pair from now on. Any idea on the replacement model in Faaeal's line-up? Perhaps the 1.0 are now...

There is something weird about the way that RY4S present mid range. Yes, you can pick up a ton of details with ease and everything is vibrant and energetic, but that is the problem (for me). The entire mid range seems to be normalised, everything is pushed up and thrown in your face, while drums...

So is there a difference in sound between the two? I just got the non-UE RY4S and they are very nice for the price, but not at the level of Snow Lotus 1.0+ or EMX500s IMO.

I got a delivery in my mailbox today and it's the kinky RY4S. They sound very very good right from the start both from the phone and laptop. They are not that different from MX500s and Snow Lotus 1.0+. They have a clean, sharp sound, good separation and solid bass. I also love the L plug...

- Daddy, why do you need so many earbuds? - Ummm...errrr.. Well, mom is clumsy and when she breaks her earbuds, I'll give her one of these. - But she hasn't broken her buds yet. - Go do your homework. ------------------------------------------------- In other news, of course I couldn't...

I found this in my mailbox today :) and it was well worth the wait. I only had time to run through dozen or so songs (from Kreator, Faithless, Portishead, Metallica, Bad Religion, Chi-A.D. , Nirvana..) and they sound sooo sweet and musical, especialy in the vocal and synth range. Bass is big...

This nice photo reminded me that I had one of those SE earbuds. They came with my SE Elm phone and just stayed in the box unused for.. seven or eight years (I still use the little phone as a second device. It never ever failed me!). I found the box with the earbuds relatively easy at the bottom...

And I have just found out that our favorite Ali store has put my little country on DHL only regime. No free shipping option anymore. As of today, Vido would cost me mere $89.23.. It looked business as usual during the latest sale. I have no idea what happened. :triportsad: I hope it's temporary

My instinct tells me that Faaeal Snow Lotus 1.0 are unjustifiably overlooked. Very few people seem to have them here. So I ordered a pair last night - the shiny silver 1.0 + version with silver plated wire for $9. That’s silver on silver and hopefully they will sound like gold. ( : Also...

Snow Lotus 1.0 have standard cable/plug and the same specifications as 2.0 (except for sensitivity - 109dB vs. 119±3dB). They are also 30% cheaper. It would be great to hear from someone if these two are actually the same soundwise. I was thinking of going for Snow Lotus 1.0 in this sale at...

I have received my EMXs 500 today for 10.5 EUR from a recent sale. The first impressions are quite favorable. My reference point are the clear Graphenes, which cost me a couple of EUR more. I would consider the EMXs a match for these. Perhaps the're not quite as warm and resolute, but they...

That's poetic Earbuds are like people. They work in pairs.

One earbud per sale is my golden moto with the idea to keep the game last longer and my bank card cooperative for future adventures. I was almost decided on getting Moondrop Nameless in this round but then figured out there was more to explore in the Absolute Budget realm so I just placed an...
