Anybody wants to buy my TDS-5m? 150$ shipped

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Good news about VSONIC ortho IEM.   I am selling my modded Elektronika TDS-5m. Need funds for new project. The link is below the signature.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/636982/update-modded-mint-condition-elektronika-tds-5m-orthodynamic-headphones-ussr

Quote:   Fiio stated that hardware part of X3 will have WM8740 and AD8397. Those parts are inside of Fiio's E17 DAC/Amp and this device is much regarded as a very good sounding among head-fi'ers.

If anybody interested. I am selling my modded Elektronika TDS-5m orthodynamics. You can see the details in my signature, or just look at the Sale/trade headphones forum.

The handwork acrylic ODAC case made for my friend.       

Quote:   They sound really good for their price. Just think if you really need CIEMs at all. But those are very good for an entery level in CIEMs.

Here are some pictures of mine.            

My portable rig. As portable as it gets.           

A little update on my single dynamic driver Flex. At first I thought that I had little fit problems, but after few more days my ears got used to it and now I almost don't feel them. This is my first CIEM though.  Also don't judge your firs CIEM out of the box, and not only about the sound but...

Quote: To bad to hear this. Yes it is a tricky procedure of disassembling the TDS-7 driver. You must be 110% careful and glueing the magnets to the body of driver is needed for easy assembling. Exposure of driver in front of ear must cover all four driver openings. I mean those openings...

Nice write-up FuglyPhones. I would like to add that you released out only half of the beast that TDS-7 hides inside this clumsy looking body. As already told TDS-7 are driven a lot better by speaker amplifiers, that are intended for 8 Ohm load. Remember that there are few other modifications to...

Quote:   I can post even more images of TDS-7 if you like.   Your HD535/t50rp project is very cool, I hope it sounds good to your ears. I've got the idea of tight seal between the driver and cup.   About TDS-7 bass, well... In russian forums there are people who did modded them...

Quote:   Hello Wualta. Thanks for response. This is just a project for future. For now I have modded Electronika TDS-5m and what i really like about them is excellent mids and smooth highs, vary moderate midbass (almost without any emphasis), and the problem is lack of deep low end...

My new portable rig. Clip+ --> Cosmic Ears Flex (single dynamic driver). Sorry for picture quality, will make some beter later on.        

Addition to above post. The idea to use deep ear pads with big openings came from Sony XB-500 and XB-700 headphones. They have excellent deep bass response according to IneerFidelity measurements.   http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SonyMDRXB500.pdf  ...

Good evening ortho lovers. I need some inspiration on the future project. Basically not an ortho transplant but rather whole new headphones. So here it goes.   Most important: the drivers. I am planning to go for Amfiton TDS-7 - the soviet flagship isodynamic headphones. Impedance is 8 Ohm...

Quote:   It is my first time with CIEMs. There was a strange feeling with first insertion. Thought maybe the fit problem. But after 10-15 minutes ears accomodate to this. Comfort is very nice and isolation is very good. No comparison with any earbuds, just miles ahead. After little more...

Received my Flex single dynamic driver today and WOW. To early for first impressions. But hey the sound out of the box is really good. Bass extension is very good with low notes going down to around 20-25Hz. Yes there is an audible roll off from maybe 35-40Hz down to 20Hz but it is very minor...

Quote:       Actually the size of X3 according to the last picture of final design posted by James (feiao) gives a hint on a real size. Few pages ago James posted a picture with final design of X3 lying next to an iPhone 4. Estimates that width and height wise X3 is 8% and 4% less...

Here are 3D spins of mine Flex single dynamic driver.   http://arqspin.com/s/ln6wxqwhzeml   http://arqspin.com/s/3wltbsdojasg

Here is a picture of mine today finished Flex. Hope that shipping will be fast enough. Single dynamic driver, top exit detachable cable.     

Quote:   Waiting for your review phlashbios on the new dynamic driver HY3. Considering them as a possible upgrade in future.   Offtopic: read about new freqphase from JH Audio and really am impressed, the time coherence between all drivers is an awesome news in CIEMs market. If it...

Quote: There are color E-ink displays on the market, not to mention that manufacturer can add led backlight. The UI of X3 should be simple and there is no reason that E-ink won't handle it. Last technologies in E-ink and E-paper showed that color and backlight even with animation and video...

Quote: +1   Impressions about headphones change with time the more you listen to it. First impressions may be 180 degrees opposite to final understanding of sound signature. Many believe in driver burn-in and there are also guys who believe in brain-in. So lets wait for a proper...
