The 19-21 are pretty fun, but so far I've bought 12 pairs and most of them died, I guess my sources are too powerful for them, the 64ohm 19-21 is my favourite so far but started to rattle like crazy after a few days of listening
The 64ohm ti had a couple version, I got the "composite" ones that costed about 12 dollars, they have crazy amount of sub bass, I was surprised, and the rest of the frequency range is pretty good, definitely give them a try
You have 64 ohm 19-22 on mx500 mmcx ? If yes maybe the wires are to long and touch the driver.

Sadly it already on my hand. Base on your description it like exactly the yuin pk1. It may suit the genres of music we often listen to in east asia (focus on female vocal).
Makes sense, I have wondered why they make such drivers, I guess the 600ohm would be amazing in that genres, I wasn't able to get a very good treble response from it either. Wasn't as bad as the 120ohm but I felt disappointed with it after reading so many people praise it, do you have some songs from that genre that you would use for testing?
Curious to here what it sounds like, for testing voices I figure it must be good.

You can try songs from Teresa Teng and Yao Si Ting or Mayumi Itsuwa.

Damn, i love 130ohm beryllium and 400 ohm drivers. They are so good. I forgot about Smabat M2 pro with ST10s black/gold driver 150 ohm
Welcome to the club of 130Ω & 400Ω driver lovers :wink:
These are affordable, nice sounding drivers with great potential.

Postman been here:smiley:
After a long wait, I have my cables. Cant wait to try these.

The Yincrow is for fun. I never had one of those before.
The cable is Alpinchun LC-OFC cable. I really like the L-plug and the cable is flexible.

This is the wool driver that I will try in an RX-1 shell if it fits. Funny in the description is either 14.4 and 14.2mm, and white grill.
Mine came in black grill. Also the letters are different on the two and it looks like it was soldered before.
One mark is "8B N6" the other is "6V51" whatever it means.

Didn't noticed that the shell I used on my 130ohms were those weird MX500 ones that has a smaller vent and a different cavity configuration.
I don't wanna bother changing because the sound is just REALLY good as it is. near neutral sound with just a good amount of darkness and the soundstage makes it feel like a full sized headphone, it rocks!!!

Those drivers looks like what I saw on Apple earpods... Interesting to see those in different forms!

What weird MX500 shell ? I want to build another earbud with 130 ohm driver.

What weird MX500 shell ? I want to build another earbud with 130 ohm driver.
Specifically this shell (new one in the picture) :

The shell I used on my 130ohms build was from my VE Monk Plus Smoke version. Didn't know that they'd use this kind of shell, too bad it sounded so dull in it, I might buy a pair and use a normal MX500 shell to see if I can get a better effect, and some people have been reporting different sound in different shell versions of the VE MONK Plus too!

Also about that picture, I might make a post tackling the New and Old versions of the "DIY TC200" here and what I found. Maybe some of you might be interested and make a pair for yourselves now that the old version is nearly out of reach...
