hmm, mine do not seem to fit with mx500 shell
Sand the "lip" of the shell

also, if the shell not have any cut, add one at the top or bottom and orient voice coil hole of the driver where this cut is

Hello everyone, hds-3 arrived, I connected a resistance of about 32 ohms with a cable from kbear stellar in my own buildings. the sound is interesting. I will listen. Tell me if the replacement of the housings (kbear stellar) will make a difference in sound? how to damp them correctly?

Лучше в классической оболочке MX500. Он у меня в обеих оболочках. Я откажусь от тех, что в прозрачной оболочке Stellar. Кстати я тоже поменял лицевые панели
but how to remove the speaker from the front protective panel? tried to insert with the old panel into the case from stellar, the magnet is too wide. while in old buildings, the native damper, paralon, died, I replaced it with half a cotton swab

Removing a speaker from the faceplate is always risky.
If You do not need the faceplate anymore, then it is better to cut it into pieces, and remove it that way.

Taobao seems to have a lot of very interesting drivers, but never ordered from there. Is it worth? It's way cheaper and we get more options than ali. Btw, whats the difference between the PKs? And whats Fengda or Fengru? I'm kinda new to this stuff. Also, what is 3H, 4H etc?

Well after a day and night full of Halloween partying I thought, what was a better way to end my night (morning) than finally recable my Sony HPM-62?

So, inital impressions, I understand why ClieOS put his recabled HPM 62 where he did. It has very nice soundstage and above average detail but is bright and forward. Gonna mess with it some more.




@BloodyPenguin already has dibs to be the first person (After me) to try them out! My only complaint is the shells had these built in guides for the stupidly thin cable, so I broke them off and it turned out to be one of the clips, so there's a little electrial tape there now

Took like 5 minutes to do, everyone should be DIYing buds! It's too easy.


lol i thought i was the only one recable this HPM62 for general use/portable..
i found this HPM62 from the drawer, it seems came from Soner K750i that belong to my wife long time ago..
but vary from yours, mine are quite warm, very forward vocal with lots of midbass, great details and good high..if it seats just right on your ear, it sound huge..like stereo speaker..
which is are okay, even a lil bit too warm for my taste..so i have to mod them a lil to tame down the over dominant warm+midbass..
i think its becos the cable that i’m using which is a cable from Vido with mic..
yes, i use this HPM62 for gaming and calls..quite good for mobile gaming..
oh, and i use donut foam cos wearing without foam make this HPM62 easily fall off from my ears..yes, i know its add more bass becos added more seal to the ears..

i even have use KZ HD9 cable before, but its too warm from this Vido +mic that i use right now...

I want to create an earbud with sound as close as it can be to the yincrow x6.
What drivers should i use?
There are these in AliExpress that say the are vido drivers.
For shells i guess some standard mx500 will be fine?

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000271073576.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.796e3ac6WdubcQ&browser_id=cd513dc85e7143e8b4fc4a35e20ece48&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=17bda46d1536fb899271166adf1515a76e58d16544&gclid=&_imgsrc_=ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Hc8eb59cf720041eb9fa2c923d9584faf2.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg

Any particular reason why? I'd probably just buy an x6, they're not too pricey IIRC. Or do you just want to experiment?

Do you just want a better cable or connector? Buy an X6 and mod it, would be my recommendation.
