Can't comment on other devices nor for pairings with good quality IEM/headphones, but do own ES100 via 3.5mm unbalanced stereo output (don't balanced IEM to try 2.5mm outout) & use it with the stock IEM that came with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tuned by AKG basic sub $20 IEMs, which I generally...

Holy Smokes is that pricey with shipping to USA. $75 USD for MMCX w shipping from England $42 USD for MMCX $33 USD shipping I can get 3 pairs of Eidolic MMCX for that price, which is pretty unfortunate for me as those rhodium plated Ber Cu MMCX piqued my interest. Anyone know a place...

Eidolic kinda seems like it's the go to brand for MMCX connectors. Older version is gold plated, the newer version I think is supposed to be Rhodium plated... but I haven't seen anywhere that actually carries the Rhodium plated version... biggest downside is finding a place that actually has...

Any recommendations on places in North America to purchase both Final Audio eartips, Spinfit and maybe a couple others? I considered MTMT audio in HK, but even prior to protests couldn't ever get a reply from them.

I wouldn't necessarily call them bright in traditional sense , but there is a harsh EQ spike/sibilance in upper mids/lower treble, primarily with female vocals, snare and any clap/snap type sounds. I'm also 1 of the people according to study that has developed extra neural connections tied to...

Any idea on what the flange widths are in mm for their SS/S/M eartips? I need 11.5-12mm range, possibly up to 12.33mm, but can't find any info on their actual flange sizes. Any other suggestions for brands/models of silicone, silicone/gel with or without foam sound tube eartips for 5mm IEMs...

Do any of those tips work properly for IEMs with 5mm sound nozzles? Any that also reduce Bass/Sub Bass some to a fairly significant amount & increase definition? Bit off subject but how do you like the Earstudio ES100 BT/EQ/DAC/BalSE unit?

I have 3, hopefully quick, from my point of view, somewhat related questions to thread... questions touching upon both sides of the subjective Vs info/building/sourcing/techniques. What is the exact inner diameter bore fit and I.D. range of bores that work well for new/replacement eartips to...

Useful info, thanks. Where are you sourcing your neotech wire from, UK hifi? The neotech website doestnseem to be all that up to date with official retailers as only 1 listed for USA doesn't appear to sell direct at least in consumer amounts and appear to have own spec versions. I haven't...

Have you used solid core pure silver or Neotech gold plated Cu wire for anything? In any case let us know how the AG/Gold cable sounds if you can

Hey, So I haven't had much if any luck of getting help/info on the DIY thread so hoping I'll find some here or at least point me in right direction for the info I'm after. My IEM with current El cheapo SPC 28 AWG Chinese cable have a harsh distortion/sibilance especially with female vocals...

Does anyone have any experience with different metallurgical makeups of lead free bar solder for audio use tinning litz wire? It's for use in a small sub 650g solder pot crucible. A Popular 1 is SAC 305 SN 96.5, AG 3, CU 0.5%, but all are around $60-$65 USD plus shipping. Way too much for a...

The cheap Chinese temp cable is Ag plated and way to harsh n brittle top end with siblance, no dielectric with Teflon outer jacket and only 28 AWG. I just came across neotech gold plated stranded Cu I'm gonna look into, or may try Cardas "Clear" litz hookup wire. I would have gone with DHC Cu...

Buller? Bueller? Anyone at least have any suggestions on Cu, GP Cu or Tin plated DIY wires for IEM use that are lush, musical, smooth and warmer sounding?

Good to know and thanks for response. I was more referring to applying similar principles & effect as what Litz does. I'd read that for more basic 2 channel 3.5mm source plug to IEM setup like mine, some really liked using 2 smaller Cu or Cu and Ag/Ag plated wires combined for each channels +...

It's a LONG post of question and details. I had to buy a cheap $20 amazon cable (IEM didn't come with included cable). It was a MMCX-3.5mm IEM Ag plated Cu 28 AWG cable which shorted quickly at MMCX. This cable/IEM combo has a kinda nasty harsh sibilance esque distortion/Hz spike in treble...

It's not paracord or tech flex but similar, stuff called MDPC, they have smaller size for most regular sized cables size and a fair bit larger size. I don't recall what exact diameter is but if memory serves it might be in the ballpark size wise. Also have some nice color choices, several heat...

Opps, somehow got directed to much older part of thread. So disregard. Yeah if I'd had any idea prior it would take this long and still not be resolved I would have opted the more expensive route but when already nearly into start of 3rd month, time wise it's not making much of a difference...

Unfortunately they do not sell MMCX connectors of any brand/kind. Found a Canadian seller who might have them... for nearly 2 times the price. Furutech has MMCX, but only on their ADL iHP-35M/M-Plus premade cables. Anyone have any suggestions on other brands/stores that sell good quality DIY...

I placed an order for bunch of DIY stuff in late Dec. Showed pre shipment but nothing else, it just showed up around Jan 22nd or so. Unfortunately it was missing the center pins for the Eidolic MMCX connectors. I emailed him about some info on solder pots and litz wire and got fast response with...

Very old thread, but seems to fit what I'm after as well but more budget minded. Sub $200 new/on sale/used IEM. Closest thing I've read about that's still available new is the Yamaha EPH 100SL flagship. Any suggestions for my search?

Wow, after looking at the pic, I checked back of remote... it has mic. Only took me 7 years to figure that out

They look fairly similar, kind of like if you took those android blended them with a reverse shaped lady Gaga version. Hopefully this pic shows up.

I'm not sure which model the Beats are, it was 1 of if not their 1st earbuds they ever produced around 2010? or so. Maybe called iBeats? They came with the very 1st Beats by Dre Cell phone, HTC ReZound. Here's pics of whatever they look like minus the 3.5mm plug since I wanted to see I'd the...
