Speaking of faceplates that don't fit well on shells. How do you guys go about temporarily fixing them on so that you can listen while still in the tuning process?

I have been relying on the foam to keep it in place, but that could easily allow a gap to open in between the shell and faceplate, changing the sound.

You can use double sided tape.

I use micropore paper tape, the one from the pharmacy or first aid kits

Oh, I happen to have some of that around. Works good!

If the faceplate is bigger than the shell, you can use double-sided adhesive tape, as temporarily solution.
Sometimes I leave it like that even after finish with all tuning.
If you don't want to tune them anymore, then use B-7000 or T-8000 glue

Red dot its own magic, it's not perfect (stock) but it can be improved with experimentation for sure.
I think your beautiful cable add a bit "color" to the sound

trying DIY earbud made by my local friend. using dual driver Ceramic Piezoelectric Graphene Film 13.6mm and unknown 15.4mm driver. inspired by rosetech earbud, using 3D printed resin.

How is the sound ?

I think it must be the same dual piezo / DD driver I used in this build? The driver in my picture is the same driver as used in the Lun Sheng Aeolian Bell earbuds. The A-Bell earbuds are cheap and sound very good.

light bass, thick mid, treble smooth dark. maybe need some tuning or changing another driver.

idk the driver same or not.. heres the driver's pict. 13.6mm with 6.3mm thickness

We need to see inside the shell to change something. I really like the ideea

@Kyonnie I took the cover off of the plug for the Yinman.

At first when I looked at it, I thought that the place where the wires were soldered was encased in some sort of epoxy. After looking at them again, I can see it is just clear shrink wrap.

And then that black rubber piece above the connection, I wasn't sure if that was something that I would need to buy separately or not.. Now I'm thinking it was just part of the connector. Fitting the wires through that looks kinda challenging though.

In the end, I guess it looks simpler than I thought. I was maybe worried over nothing.

I was thinking of using epoxy at first for holding it, but it's too pricey for me, and you can't do maintenance with it once epoxied. Also, most cable makers I know just use heat-shrink tubing instead.

It's something you can buy in bulk in DIY shops; I think they have different sizes. I mainly see them used for 8 cores, but even then most people would just use heat-shrink tubing lol.

That's what I thought at first too, but after seeing so many cables and "reverse engineering" them, it's much simpler than I thought; they're easier to solder than earbud drivers. The hardest part for me was braiding them lol.

I also use shrink tube. @furyossa do you remember?

Does anyone know the driver for this "newb", thank you
