Has anyone tried to put different driver on a jcally ep01 shell? I will probably order one just for curiosity but it would be nice to know if it snaps on mx500 covers for example. An additional back vent with a 19-21 red dot driver could be an interesting project. One of the sales pics wrote 16mm drivers if I remember correctly, so maybe it could work

I change the shell. Ep01 in MX500 shell same sound signature with more bass.

Thank You both. :beerchug:
And I finally found one a bit cheaper with unknown driver and more cable:

That one is also just a regular Black DoCoMo from what I remember, I had them send a photo of what the inside looks like and it has the green dot on the epoxy, grid foam on the vents and dots for positive and middle. Chitty's Store and Tribe's Store seem to be the same seller so even those loose DoCoMo units probably have the same drivers.

Also, if you look in Chitty's store description for those cut old style DoCoMo buds, they post a photo of a driver that looks like an SR2/Newer DoCoMo driver in a PK shell, just thought that was something I should mention if you look down there :D.

Nice, thanks for the info! So does it work in reverse too? I mean putting an mx500 style speaker on the ep01 shell without glue.
I see that there is a hole on the top of the ep01 shell. Did you drill it?

Here they are (from the units I received for order https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32581904591.html):

Same drivers as my pink and white Furukawa cabled pair, which kinda makes me wonder why my other DoCoMo drivers don't have that dot but have similar features. They kinda sound different too, guess the guy who I bought from on Taobao might've done some tuning to them or used different drivers all-together (one of the pairs I have convinced me I might've had a 2nd Cygnus).

These require more damping than they come with to bring clarity or rather to bring up the upper mids & treble.

I've inserted the original damping (foams). Now, It is better but they still lack clarity.

Do you recommend any specific tuning for them (damping placement)?

Hey guys, long time no see 👍
Is this recoverable? Or it's dead ? 🙁
As long as the coil is still good, then yes, I had similar proplem with 19-21, they are extremely fragile
You should be able to glue it back as long as the coil or coil leads are not cut
