I like the drivers I bought

Has anyone tried these shells in diy projects? I have two pairs and the fit is very good in my ears plus they accept 15.4mm drivers. If someone managed to create good sound with these I'd be interested what kind of drivers/tuning are ideal.

Nice idea, depending on the wires thickness, it could be a great idea!
Those MX760 drivers look having much distortion at "high" volume, you are right. I did not spend much time with my MX760 mod since, but for the price it's still one of those hard to beat
.

I measured the frequency response and the problematic area is typical of small shell earbuds, with a little EQ it can be easily smoothed out: pull down the 3k-6k range by a couple of dB, especially around 3.5-5k. Plus a small boost below 100hz and slight decrease around 200-300hz will help the bass to become tighter more focused.
Actually this 3-6k range is my most common problem with earbuds, it would be awesome if some kind of physical mod could target this area in isolation yes I know tuning foams help, but often they're not enough or have unwanted side effects, I'll experiment further.
I'm really impressed with the extension and linearity of this mx760 from 9-10k upwards, this is what truly sets it apart in my collection. Amazing rich and realistic upper treble, airy and immersive. By the way below 1.5k the frequency response is almost indentical to Qian69 and they do sound very similar.
I ordered virtually the same driver in mx500 configuration so it'll be interesting to see the differences in a bigger more capable shell.

Another question: is it possible that RY4S UE has EMX500 drivers? I've just opened mine and they look exactly the same as aliexpress listings of emx500, but I don't have those to compare directly. The tuning is a simple horseshoe foam similar to vido, nothing special the drivers are bare.

I would not be at all surprised but I do not have the UE version to check

I could take photos but they really look exactly the same, I have a pair of emx500 speakers on the way so I can compare them when they arrive

I put the ry4s ue drivers into a white vido shell and they gained a character similar to vido - V-shaped sound with heavy-hitting bass and recessed lower mids, but the treble response remained quite similar to the original so still bright and clear. These tuning foams do matter a lot! Not my favorite sound signature but it's quite good for a punchy v-shape character. I plan to try these drivers in the meizu shell as well (which I posted above)

15.4mm 130 ohm beryllium drivers :
They are for now my new favorite/reference and king of any drivers I found for now since I DIY. I just ordered a backup pair since few days already.
The sound is exceptionnal, truely a "TOTL" one, many DIY potentials with some kind of shell mods.
Sound is extremely transparent, fun and natural, with a nice touch of warm. Thanks to its dark (not cold) background and presensation, the soundstage is incredibly deep (and large when it needs to be), instrument separation at its top notch level.
Details are extreme with a rare kind of precision (I keep rediscovering all my tracks with them, this is the first time I feel that on a DIY earbuds).
Bass is punchy with nice mid-bass presence, sub-bass rumble has the right amout without beeing overwhelmed (maybe some will find this part lacking), mids are just insane (vocals singing just in front of you), never enjoyed that much from any earbuds I listened I think. Highs are never sibilant nor harsh, the tune is exceptionally good, they achieved micro-details without any listening fatigue at all (for me it is a crucial point). Good drivers always need to be like that in details/highs area, this is the way you recognize good drivers.
Brillant tune and build quality done on these drivers. Highly recommended! (I recommend to buy on Chitty's store as they do excellent shipping packages, never disapointed until now).
I would say.this is the kind of drivers that hurts a lot "TOTL" already-made eaburds over 200$+.

wow! and yes;
it is exactly how you described.. totally agree with all of them.

Do you know how to remove printed text from shells? I have a blue vido shell in which I put RY4S UE drivers and it sounds fantastic. (the y cable version of blue vido which is tuned flat - edit: thicker tuning foam inside) But the white Vido print bothers me. The shell has a glossy finish which might complicate things and I dont have a spare one to test chemicals.Thanks!

Have you tried these shells for diy? I wonder if they can snap on mx500 or mx760/dp100 drivers.

Interesting, looks like Edifier H180/185 shells that I really enjoyed few years ago (I have two pairs).
I almost destroyed one pair once I was training to remove drivers from shells, lol, so maybe I will give a try! didn't know they were snapping perfectly 15.4mm drivers

I use nail polish remover to get rid of the print and a buffing block to bring back the glossy finish.

Can DP100 shells snap on mx500 drivers? Or they can only accept mx760/dp100 covers by default?

By the way I've just checked out NSC Audio store on aliexpress where I've bought the mx760 set and they put out a lot of really good deals!
Just a small selection that caught my attention:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000247263113.html (5pairs of transparent dp100 shell under 5usd)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000250922044.html (maybe these are the same 19-21khz "carbon" drivers @HungryPanda recommended?

I dont know what they can snap on that's why I'm asking.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Oops sorry, thought it was an affirmation, I misreaded

Well you could try it if you have a spare one, and tell me afterwards It would be nice if it could snap on the mx760 driver for example, maybe even tame the upper mids a bit. This is the reason I'm thinking about dp100 shells too. These form factors are usually offer a good fit for outdoors and the big shell + deep position usually adds a bit extra warmth/depth to the sound.
I've put Vido drivers in the meizu shell and tuned it to sound warm/balanced with medical tape temporarily. Very good fit and pleasant non offensive sound for long term listening/walking outdoors.

Ok I'll keep that in mind with my others fun DIY misc stuffs to do. I stay you tuned
