There’s a big post somewhere in the Earbuds thread that’s like a sticky, includes a discussion of foams. Anyone have a link handy?
Search for 'Trig Rain' foams on AE. HieGi foams are even better but only come in black or white. They are also available on Shopee if you're in SE Asia. Wong does include foams with his earbuds, though.By the way, what about foams? Where to buy and what are best brands?
This is a totally diferent world from iems.

Yes curious on that too, I checked Amazon and couldn't see many options... I'm guessing AliExpress but I hate waiting weeks

What´s the difference about sound ?
Looking forward to hearing what you think of 'em. They are on the list now. May they travel swiftly without much delay.
Blur Wraith PK150 with 266 cable incoming...
Its a new build by Master Wong since he says im the only one requested it so far. Well its bcoz i dont really prefer OFC cable actually, not that I hate it...and just thinking why not go 266 all the way
From the graph Wong said that he need to retune the sound by trim off a lil bit of mid-bass there so it will be more balance and retain the original Blur SS target tuning.
Personal Preference | Model | Strength | Weakness | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Blur OFC PK150 Wraith Standard Edition | Male vocals Percussion Timbre Long-listening sessions | May be too warm for some | Source/power very important here. |
2 | Blur 266 MX64 aPs STE and Blur OFC MX64 aPs STE | Male & female vocals Strings Good for critical listening | Hard to fault | Cable believers should ask for 266 if they want more low end presence. |
3 | Blur 189 Hybrid MX64 aPs | Male & female vocals (best in class) Excellent imaging and layering Strings Good for semi-critical listening | Hard to fault | Similar to the MX64 aPs but less forward and with better technicalities. I still prefer the forward emphasis on the STE but the 189 Hybrid is certainly more approachable. |
4 | Blur OFC MX400 STE | Timbre Large soundstage and good imaging Female and male classical singers Strings Great for critical listening | No subbass, low quantity midbass creates an overall lean signature (that may or may not be to your taste) | My choice for classical music and orchestral. |
5 | Blur 266 MX150 aPs Retune | Good top to bottom extension and dynamics Great imaging Timbre | Drier tonality than I would prefer | Great musical versatility. Would be my recommended entry point into the current Blur lineup or if you're into electronic music. Appreciates power. |
6 | Blur MX300 美魔女 Beautiful Witch aPs (not the Limited Edition) | Timbre Great for vocals male and female Intimate presentation great for folk/acoustic | May be too forward for some | Appreciates power. |
7 | Blur 266 PK16 White Face | Hefty low end Full-bodied male vocals Easily powered Long-listening sessions | Presentation somewhat veiled | Good for non-critical listening / pop music / rap. |
8 | BlurMod Vido | Good balance Non-fatiguing Good clarity | Can sound a bit tinny | Perfect to drop in the bag and carry around. |
