Nice idea to keyword the posts!The 64 Ohm titanium with blue dot, is it this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000193238068.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.16.2e9518cf0NRKGk
P.S. Did you see what I did there, I repeated a couple of times "64 Ohm titanium with blue dot" that way I hope we can search for impressions scattered in this thread easier hahaha.
I have the 32 Ohm titanium with purple (more like lavender/pinkish) dot in local market, like the photo below. It is also available in plastic cover. Another one is the 64 Ohm titanium with red dot and light blue blob, I wonder if you guys have any experience with these?
I'm not familar with the drivers on the pic, they look similar to emx500 by the layout so maybe these are older models. But still quite interesting, I haven't seen these aliexpress.
Yes that's the 64ohm blue titanium I spoke about, but you can get it for 1/3rd of the price at nsc store. I like it, very deep smooth darkish sound, ideal upgrade from vido, rosemary etc. Needs good power and brighter dac though, I enjoy it with my es9018k2m but it can sound too soft dull with darker/generic sources. A bit fragile based on the feedback, I also had a semi-faulty one in the first order (but nsc sent me a replacement for free)

I wrote about these titanium 32ohms:

and here's a more expensive new model, the 68ohm vocal

Thanks I'll buy one probably. The problem with a few spot only is that many of these shells have a large gap, so if I only glue it partially than it will be unstable and with lot of uncontrollable venting :/ Not sure what to do with these honestly.It's not that strong like RY glue But for one pair of metallic shells, I had to use heat to separate the driver. Use it on few spots only.
This glue is mostly used when repairing mobile phones so, in my opinion, it is a great solution, and I don't believe that anything is much different from 8000.
It creates an elastic bond and the remains can be easily removed from the surface
I also had a ry4c shell which I salvaged, it's hard to put on a cover but it's doable. Maybe you can also sand down the lips. Venting is pretty lackluster with those shells also, need to drill more vents and the inner layout is weird.I have 10 pairs of this type of shell that have the same problem but the lip is set on all sides not just left and right. I couldn't attach MX500 cover
Interesting, the 130ohm did disappear from everywhere except for the greedy stores with double price. There are a lot speakers in the 5-20usd range that you can try but I personally don't have experience with them. Some notable ones are the N52 300ohm, the 400ohm graphene, a couple of 14.8mm ones, and for cheaper there are the titaniums (same layout as 19-21)Apparently I can't find beryllium 130ohm speaker anywhere anymore, they were available until yesterday, I asked nsc if they will restock but communication with them is pretty weird and unreliable.
Do you know any other good driver around the 15$ mark or I should just wait, maybe even for the 150ohm red film?
Probably I'll just go ahead and place my order for the cheaper driver for now, but I wanted to save shipping costs.
