My mmcx from cklewis will show up tomorrow and I'll share pics with you here. It's red and silver plated copper...

...also Hot Fi seems to have given up on the email harassment. I replied to one of their emails with the youtube video link to Smash Mouth - All Star. That seems to have shut them up

Stock tips are tiny for me, as if they were designed for a little girl. :p  I'm using large Spinfits.



Stock tips is too small & short. I use spinfit M.


Reached home and switched to a L sized tip. WOW.
Definitely the X5 is not overhyped.

Listened to it for 5 mins and it's like a Tennmak Pro that has been unveiled plus a wider soundstage.

I'm now wondering now if the X5 can surpass the Cello.

What drug did they feed to this 6mm Graphene driver.

No i didn't tried it ,i received it today but it was the 3.5mm not the 2.5mm i ordered.

I have done a lot of searching and the best 3.5mm to 2.5mm TRRS adapters I found were the Venture Electronics ones. They are pretty cheap and 
you can order them straight off their website with E-Packet.

What model spinfits is everyone using with the X5? CP100 appears to be the more universal model but I wanted to confirm. Also, since I've never owned them before, how do I figure out my sizing needs (S, M, L etc.)? Or should I just buy a couple of sizes and take the hit?

Just got UiiSii 905. You are absolutely right, very holographic sound, on par with my M4 and just followed IE80!
I like it more than M4 since it's brighter and more analytical than M4. Much better than LZ A2 and 4in1 that I had.
Thanks for recommendation!

Graphene diaphragm chinese iems. I'm quite interested in the applications of this new material in headphones. It's thin, strong, and has very good electrical conductivity. Well, all the following iems are actually using graphene Coated diaphragms. Nevertheless, it's fun to see how it goes.
 
Single graphene Coated dynamic diaphragm:
**** PT15: $8, 15mm driver, 32 ohm. The first one.
Fiio F3: $25, 11mm driver, 40 ohm. A review says F3's graphene diaphragm is just 0.335nm thickness. That's wrong. 0.335nm is the thinnest thickness that a graphene fabric can go, in a lab.
UiiSii Hi820: $19, 10mm driver, 32 ohm. Tons of bass.
I prefer PT15>=F3>Hi820. PT15 wins in soundstage and the music genres I like. F3 wins in pop music.
 
Some hybrid iems with graphene diaphragm. I don't own any of them.
Xiaomi Hybrid Pro: 2 graphene DD + BA
MaGaisi K3/K3Pro: 1 graphene DD + 2BA. Highly regarded in this thread.
**** 6in1: 1 graphene DD + 2BA
