Me and @robar comment about these few posts back. Also, you have in my inventory some mod examples where I explained in details pros and cons for some metallic shells.
The shell that cache my attention is this one, and I really like to try them one day :thinking:
Indeed very beautiful shells. I order the silver ones for 600ohm. If they are what I need I will take the black and blue ones for 19 21 red dot and 130ohm beryllium drivers

Hi guys ! What to choose ? 600 ohms, 500 ohms or something else? I keep an eye on LCP drivers as well
Take the 500, much better then the 600, its like the 600 with highs...

I know only 400 ohm. I like them very much. If the 500 or 600 ohm is similar to the 400 but with more bass would be perfect. So which one to be?
Skip the 600, I don't know why everyone hyped the 600 so much, it's like the 400, with less sub bass, and nothing over 14-15kz, basically it's freq resp is 60hz to 14kz, it is a horrible driver for the money, I have tuned them every way possible, had to buy a second pair because the first broke during tuning
Tried different shells, but no mater what, you can't get the highs up. in its stock form, it's just OK, pretty good if you don't plan on tuning anything
But if you want details and bass, any high impedance driver is better
The 500ohm are so much better that I got angry at myself for trying so hard with the 600
The 600, in stock form is not bad, but the 500ohm runs circles around it, in the sub bass it blows the 600 out the water, and in the highs, the 500ohm eats the 600 like a snack


I would rate the 600 ohm, just above the 300ohm without tuning, after tuning, anything is better then it, the 19-21 pink is much better then it is

Bro in conclusion worth to buy 500 ohm if i have the 400 , 300, 150, 130 bery ohm drivers?

So you buy them all, only 500 and 600 left. Now is easy, go with next number (500ohm) and 600ohm another time.
There are no other choice if you are high impedance lover.
For some time the situation for DIY drivers has not changed, from time to time some mediocre driver up to 120 ohms comes out and that's it.

@furyossa , @Themilkman46290
the idea is that I don't feel like paying this money if it's not worth it or just for the sake of the collection. If there really are good drivers like 130, 400 or 19 21 then I would buy with great pleasure.
BTW how did you tune the 300 ohm driver. I use the one from RY4S
@Themilkman46290 has already answered the question which driver is better. I don't have a 500ohm version, so I can't say which is better
and I certainly believe @Themilkman46290. I like both 400ohm and 600ohm (i'm treble sensitive so treble roll-off after 14kHz don't bother me that much)
Also, I don't have RY4S 300ohm

Honestly, if you don't mind a treble roll after 14, take the 120 14.8mm, remove the stock tuning and the second filter on the back of the magnet, they became one of the hardest hitting next to the ti composite 64ohm, but I need the treble. Want the details.

If you want decent balance, and extremely rumbly sub bass, the 64ohm ti composite is the best I have.
If you want something more balance with good sub bass try the 500ohm
It is a little better then the 400ohm but has a wee bit better mids and a little less highs (depending on the tuning)
It's like the 600ohm but it's more detailed, it has more sub bass and highs

:)) now it's even harder for me to choose something. only the 500 and 600 ohms are missing. Apart from Nicehck B40 I have nothing with PK shell. Should I try these drivers or take the 500 ohm one

I really like the 500ohm, been using them a lot lately.
But if you just want crazy sub bass/ bass, 64ohm ti composite beats everything I have
If you want highs, sub bass and clean mids take the 500ohm
