The more I read about K's 500 the more I am glad I never bought one! Sounds like all the wrong characteristics of a bud for me. I'm tempted by the AKG for vocal listening, but I haven't had the urge to buy anything new in ridiculously long. If I don't post much more in here it's because I'm plenty happy with whatever I have...

My sentiments exactly. Until I saw those ABnormal earbuds and saw Marty Feldman before me...





They look really nice and that old hunting instinct got scent of a new prey...


Edit: also, for vocals QFred is number one. A bit expensive though but still leagues above all other midcentric earbuds I have owned...

I'm still leaning towards QFred over Campfred. Would have got the whole lineup by now if I could have afforded it... How is QFred bass relative to Edimun V3? similar depth/impact? I've been using basically just Edimun V3 Rhodium, Red De'mun, Cygnus, Qian39 and Monk+ with my Walnut these days. I also still like my Yinman 150 a lot but almost never find time for anything but those listed already I guess having heard other TOTL stuff like MX985 and certain Blox I know I love what I am hearing, but I know I need to hear how the Cypheruses stack up firsthand.

QFred bass is closer to Monk+ or Cygnus than Edimun V3. It doesn't have a very deep impact but has got very nice texture (it feels like I'm talking about wines...). But it responds well to EQ. The main focus on QFred is the mids, but bass and treble isn't lacking in any way. CampFred on the other hand has got amazingly deep bass for a pair of earbuds, but not too dominating like sometimes on Edimun V3.

But now I want to know more about those ABnormal earbuds!

Thanks, I knew they weren't going to be a bassy signature by any means, but as long as it has excellent depth and good clarity I am okay.

I wouldn't count on the buzzing from being resolved completely, better just to send it back to get them replaced. 
If I remember reading correctly, the cable of these earbuds are also very special (ahem* Wagnus Cable?)

Yes. And they build their own driver too. So it can be out of stock anytime

Oh! Those two Indonesian buds look interesting! After the Cypherus earbuds together with Edimun V3 and Red De'mun, I'm a huge fan of Indonesian DIY earbud boutiques. Too bad about Dipios, though.

That's why i recommended it. So many local builder and production house here. But only a few that fullfill this group standard

@Joy Boy

You don't say how much they cost...

Ah, i forgot. I'll ask them how it cost in dollar. I only know the price in IDR.
Maybe it's around $65-$75

Here is specs and appearance of diomnes. My previous pict is the re-moded one. Less impact, more mid-centric

Happy new year!
I wish you all in 2017 a lot of new earbuds discoveries and satisfactory purchases.
I love you all - you positively crazy people
I am sorry I don't post so often here now but I still follow this thread all the time and realy enjoy it.
I wish one day we could all meet together in person but taking into account we are from all over the world, I know this is rather unrealistic unfortunatelly.

HAPPY NEW YEARS MATE!
MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING MORE EARBUDS!

 

[abhijollyguy]

Which earbud is neutral yet musical with a slight lift in bass region with no peaks and dips from mids to higher treble?

Id say the Red Demun fits this quite well. Edimun V3 is up there aswell, V3 is available from Bengkel Macro again.

 

[vapman]

i would actually agree with the upper post. Red Demun is more of what you're asking for. I think Edimun V3 would be a little too V shaped for you, but you'd probably still enjoy it, just not as much as the Red De'mun.  The Red De'mun has consistently been one of my favorites, period, since I got it - dethroned the MX985 without much of a fight personally - and the Edimun kind of took the back seat for me.
 
I am wondering though, I remember some people saying the Edimun V3 sound sig changes noticably depending on what kind of connector is used. Mine's rhodium. What's the difference with a gold plug? I have no idea what the gold plug one sounds like but the rhodium plug one is fabulous. Since I don't/can't EQ with my Walnut, I find myself using my Edimun a lot more than I ever did before. I think it had a bit less appeal when using it on my desktop setup with an already heavily tweaked EQ.
