In my experience with Lrey earbuds, he uses strong adhesive because I tried opening mine, but I risked destroying the faceplate. I used a modified foam cover with double-sided tape to cover my mind; it works great, but I prefer only covering portions of the mesh. I would probably put it...

Tbh I already expected it to sound like that. I would cover it with something like tuning mesh or metal mesh used in IEMs to keep its aesthetics. Or just add some foam inside when you finally decided to open it. I had to block most of my Lrey Grado earbuds open back mesh because of this exact...

Speaking ABX Test is this legit? I discovered this while browsing through Reddit, so I decided to check it out. I only did the shortest test because I'm too lazy, but even with that, I still got bored listening and didn't really vibe with the last track, which is probably the reason why I got a...

Congratulations, man! You finally own some of Fran's earuds.

True!!! Most cables nowadays are pretty good compared to spaghetti noodles wires back then; even with careful wrapping, they become undone and tangle by themselves which really annoys me lol. It's one of the reasons why I got into DIY buds. A lot of the earbuds on the market, even branded...

I personally use my Fiio FF3S because not only does it sound good, it also looks good. I actually got complimented twice lol. I remember back when I still had my Samsung Level In ANC (it's a wired IEM with active noise cancellation). It was pretty neat back then, but I always felt nauseous...

I'm a bit of a power user coz I usually play demanding games and run emulators on my phone. While not top-notch, their specs are decent, but brands like Xiaomi and Poco outperform them in the price-to-performance category. Moondrop's use of stock Android is great because there's no bloat to...

I'm also curious about the origin of the usernames of others in here lol.

The Yinman's have a warm midcentric and recessed treble tuning, but even though it lacks in quantity, it makes up for it with its quality; it's very satisfyingly detailed and crisp; it's not fatiguing at all. You can use donut foam if you find it too lacking, or EQ if you're okay with it...

I'm genuinely curious to see how Moondrop would paired against Hifiman's QC and price-to-performance ratio.

Will this be powerful enough to fully drive the Yinmans???

I used to be like that lol. That's why back then I tried my hardest not to use online shopping sites and apps, but because of the pandemic, I'm forced into it to get my daily necessities. I couldn't hold on much longer and started splurging more into my hobbies. The more I look at my purchase...

It's something I've been doing. I learned quite a lot about doing DIYs that way, some may find it a bit of taboo thought (because they want to keep their tuning a secret). I 100% agree with this, but the thing with Qudelix is that it has an internal battery, so either way he or she will be...

Yeah, I highly recommend going to Taobao as well. There are a lot of Chinese market exclusive audio gear, electronics, early product releases, and other niche products in there, though it can be pretty difficult at first. (AliExpress also have troublesome to use UI too) looool. It's better to...

How does it even stay in your ears? Lol. It's so ridiculous and meme-ish looking. "The  Gourd" I like it. You can always paint it black and pretend it's always been there, or pretend it's a desk ornament lol.

They will affect the presentation and positioning of sound significantly. It depends on what you're trying to achieve; hole sizes and foam thickness will alter how much treble is perceived and how much bass is preserved. Like @jogawag recommendation Heigi foam is a really good, well-made foam...

Oh, that's why. The 300 Blue Pet doesn't sound similar to the 130 Bery. (I'm just giving you another good recommendation to try out.) There aren't many options for higher impedances other than those custom-requested ones, like those from Huayunxin. Have you tried adding resistors to the 130 ohms...

You can try 300 Ohm PET (one of the recent favorites of DIYers and the same driver being used in TGXEars Serratus) and also 500 Ohm Beryllium. There are some sellers, like Huayunxin, where you can ask for higher-impedance versions of the same driver. The thing I noticed experimenting with...

I haven't tried any of his buds yet because shipping and customs duty in here can be pretty pricey😩(though I've been curious about trying them out in the future). But I have tried drivers that he used in some of them (kudos to him for not keeping it a secret). And based on reviews of his...

You can try the Vido/Yincrow X6. Edit: My bad, I didn't read it quite well either. There aren't many branded buds with a sound signature similar to the FF3, which is why many people find it unique. Your best bet for bassy earbuds with better sound quality with those requirements is DIY. You can...

It's pretty rewarding to me, and it seems to me that a lot of people in here are enjoying making and listening their own earbuds. I think most DIY drivers are being used in commercially available earbuds. But the problem is their implementation of them and not being tuned right. You can check...

I'm just going to share this here because I find it a bit funny.

I read a lot of your old posts, and I really appreciate whenever you make diagrams for them; it really helps me understand the process in more detail. I really learned a lot from you guys in here.:L3000:

Lol, To expand on this each ear hear things differently "People's left and right ears are never the same. Each has their own and distinct hearing abilities, reflecting, in fact, the functional asymmetry of our brain. The sounds coming from the right ear are processed by the left cerebral...

It's very dependent on driver and shell synergy, and the fitment in your ear can cause it to sound different. But in my experience they boost the bass. They're pretty similar internally. You can use full foam covers, cut them, and place them on that flat wall inside, or you can use these...
