Thanks for your quick input! ...Hopefully, it will be a good package deal.
PS. I personally don't like noodle cables myself.
Be sure to post your impressions of the Dodocools once they arrive.
They aren't hybrids, so the sound is warm and even a little dark depending on the recording. But I feel they are worth the $12 I paid for them. I use them as exercise beaters due to the metal shell and silicone wings (which they can be used without the wings too).
The stock tips are OK, but I prefer Starlines. I also swapped the red nylon nozzle screens for stainless mesh versions, which gave a bit of extra clarity.
I even modded 1 pair to make them open-backed using a small stainless steel washer that fit perfectly into the back of the shell:
However, you don't even have to do the washer. There is a little "button" in the center of the back that just pops out by pushing it inwards with your finger. Here's what it looks like if you just pop the "button" out:
BTW, the fragile noodle cable is easy to swap out for a standard cable. The front half of the shell pops apart very easily, and the rear of the driver/wiring solder pads are right there to work on.
