Why did You choose that if You feel the graph is weird?

I usually really like the sound of titanium coated drivers and i had to spend 6$ more to use a coupon, so....

Next purchase will probably be a high impedance driver if i can resist buying the zen lite next week.

Hi there,
How's the red film on LB shells sound sig compared to pks?

Dunno, don't have them in unmodified PK shells. And they're probably tuned different than a PK1 most likely.

I tune to my preference which is similar to DF neutral when graphed. Which is less warm than typically found in earbuds.

So, then tell us how you like it when it arrives.

Absolutely! But it will take a while. I'm still waiting for stuff ordered at the end of june.

Spoiler: :^)

While we wait i have some big boys coming soon.
I currently have 4 (maybe 5) really interesting projects in the making. I just need to wait for all the parts to arrive.
No more spoilers tho.

is there 3d model of mx500 housing that we could print out? wouldnt that be cool

Blue is LBBS, Red is 150Ω.

Gray is MMCX PK shell, Red is K's shell.

 

[earfanatic]

Red is the red, right?
I wander on the lower end. The PK shell should be more different than a bell shaped shell, at least I would expect that.

Whoops... forgot the legend.

Top: Blue is LBBS, Red is 150Ω.
Bottom: Gray is PK shell, Red is K's shell.

Today i received a pair of used Nokia HDD-1 and they look BRAND NEW!

I don't have any 2.5mm source so i had to test them with this improvised cable (i know it's ugly but it works).

Apparently the 2.5mm jack isn't standard since i could only get sound when i touched these 2 points and only in stereo????
Probably the clip/mic thing has something to do with it. The cable is also extra thin.

First impressions aren't exactly good. The sound si dull and muffled.
I hope to get some kind of improvement with a new cable.

I'm playing right now with it Received HDD-1 and few more Nokia's today

I'm still figuring out how to insert the cable, the cable relief is extra tight.
This is how it looks inside:

If You measure the line resistance with a multimeter, it is 75Ohm, not 150. I believe the left and righ speaker is connected parallel.
So Nokia phones do not have to drive 150 Ohm, they see 75 Ohm. If it is the case, then it is not stereo. It says "dual headset" on the package too.

I was wondering how they managed to properly drive 150ohm earbuds from 2000s phones. That's both smart and interesting.
Has anyone tried to open the clip that comes with the cable?

Not yet, but I have saved them if I can make something with them. It is so ridiculously big!
