Are these the 64 ohm drivers you are talking about ?

Yes those are the ones I have, so far they are my third favorite, after the 400 and 130 ohm

Many thanks, i was looking on it, now will order.

M/t can you please point out where to read how to solder balance cable instead of usual one ? Is there special unit must be or any are possible to convert to 4,4 pentakom cable ?

You need a multimeter to check the pinouts on both sides. I didn't build any 4.4mm balanced cable maybe someone can post the schematic for the cable. I updated my previous post with some useful info

I have tried the 130ohm they are on the brighter side compared top the 600ohms but the bass and soundstage is lacking for me. The 400ohm that you are talking about is it the blue rim graphite driver? will also give the 64-ti driver wa try .Thankyou so much!




will do, infact if I get a chance to demo/audition the em5 I will give you an update.

Try this mod, I did something similar with my metal shells and the 130ohm drivers, best sound I found with this combo

Love the type of shell of your B&W edition earbuds. I bought a silver red and blue variant a while back. For now, only silver variant is combined with
a handmade wooden piece.

And this is a complete version

Nope. By enlarging inner space you will reduce mid-high because the reflection of the sound wave is not the same, it's slower. Also, you will get a more spacious sound.
Resonance in the wood chamber is also present which gives a little flavor to the sound signature. In short original shell simulate "closed-back" sound and modded
(with large cavity) "open-back" sound

I've been considering trying to make a rose masya/mojito clone type dual dynamic driver earbud, how did you get this wooden shell part?
did you make it yourself, or can I find it somewhere?

Handmade.
Great idea. I planed to do something similar but with smaller drivers. Do u have an idea how Mojito, Masya, or Maria looks inside?
I saw somewhere section of Masya but I can't remember where? For Mojito, they change the angle of the front driver to get better sound.
Maria, who knows? It's too expensive to play with it
For shell prototype, you can try with polymer clay

Ok, here we go. Lately, the question has often been asked is where to find earphone or headphone parts for DIY?
Of course, you are welcome to suggest more links and I will update the list. But for now, let's sum up

***For DIY Earphones parts there are several stores on Aliexpress. with a very diverse offer.
Most of the stores have the same parts, so it's a good idea to check where the parts are cheaper.
- NSC Audio Store
- JieTu Audio Store
- DIY Earphone Tribe Store
- Chitty's Store
- CKLewis Audio Store
- RY Earphone Store

***For Plug and Connectors related to DIY cables (or audio equipment)
- QYFANG Official Store
- Zeatop Hendar Official Store
- R Connector Buy Official Store

***For pre-made "fancy" cables (NiceHCK, Yin.Yoo ,KBear)
- KBEAR Official Store
- NiceHCK Audio Store
- Wooeasy_Earphones_Store (all in one place)

I have seen some different ideas on some of the Asian earbud groups, I remember seeing what seemed like acrylic tubing, I maybe wrong, but acrylic is fairly easy to manipulate, bends with heat and you can use wood worker tools on it..
Cool idea
The 130ohm "abs" are for low freq and high freq adjustment (using a capacitor and resistor) so it maybe a good place to start, but I don't know where you would get the second driver to match it....

So I've soldered together my 120ohm berylium 14.8mm pk shell earbud, should I just burn it in or should I find some foam to cover the vent with to tune it a bit too?

 

[jogawag]

I made the old variant docomo shell compatible with mmcx and replaced the driver with the well-established new variant docomo's, which is told to be the same as Shozy Cygnus/BK.
The bass was much amplified more than in the original new variant of docomo shell, probably because of the thick stem of the shell.

@jogawag
Where did you get the Docomo with Shozy Cygnus/BK drivers?

I got the docomo earbuds (drivers) at my country's flea market on the Internet for about $8. I'm always looking for them, but they are not listed these days because they're accessories for old 2006 cell phone...

Both.

This driver is not perfect but there is something about it that often brings me back to using it. Pure silver cable and the hard metallic shell will increase the clarity

Thanks @furyossa For now I let it burn in some more, and it is improving. I'll keep your advise in case I got the itch to mod it in the future.
Could it be the correct "timbre" and the natural mids that make it easy to listen? As I said, in the MX500 housing it reminds me of a single driver, full-range speaker.

Did you ever post how you bore out the wooden piece? Was it by lathe? Sorry if you've posted here, I've searched but couldn't find a specific mention.
What will be the effect if the chamber is not conical shape, say, a straight cylinder? By saying "enlarging the inner space reduces mid high" does it mean this tuning benefits treble-heavy drivers, and bass-heavy drivers will have even less treble? I'm thinking of another project in the future, not using 130 Ohm Beryllium driver.
Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Could someone verify, whether these 15.4mm drivers (1, 2) are any good for a first 150 Ohm build? I have a feeling they might be the same drivers used in FAAEAL Rosemary.
I might be wrong of course, but if they're good anyway I might as well give them a try. Thanks!
