I just wanted to share this photo I took.
Currently listening to the MusicMaker/ToneKing Ting, one of my favorite earbuds.

Buds you can safely use with the iFi Micro iDSD on Turbo Mode (or any other 4W+ amp at full power)
Ranked by how much power they can take with no problem, before sound either distorts or becomes uncontrolled, with extreme sub bass EQ and bass boost switch set to "full". For those who like to feel like their earbuds are about to explode with energy.
- VE Asura 2.0
- TY 650
- Recabled vintage Sony bud
- Qian39
- VE Monk+
- Baldor E100
- Yinman 150 (I don't own 500 OR i only assume it would be better)
- SHE3800
- Sony E808+
If they didn't make the list and I own them, they couldn't handle being fed over a full watt of power.
The only one that could take 1W but with the EQ bypassed.... Puresounds 600.
No earbuds were harmed in the process of this test.

From another angle, we can think that its power capacity is big , sound stability is good;LOL
I think ‘easy or not easy’ is decided by soundstage 、detail、positioning、”spacesence“...etc when directly drived with daps after all it is a portable headset ;The reason why I like ty400 and 400s less is that they could't give me a relaxable soundstage,vocal is too close,“spacesense” is not good enough;Anyway ,people's taste is different;Choose those what you like
看见了800-1700欧
Look closely and one can see 800-1700 ohm section in Ty's official store
now between the red and blue, the sounded similar, but the blue has more energy and harmonics on treble frequencies...it's like the cymbals are hit harder. I prefer the softer treble sound on the red, and also the red is slightly better at mids, and sounded a tad clearer on that noisy place. But the both are outstanding. according to adhi, the blue and red only differs in cable. the driver tweaks are the same.
PS: they all are fresh demo stocks with no or minimal burn in, so that might be a factor why the edimun is underperforming, because I read that the edimun requires some burn in time to shine while the de'muns sounded great from the start
the problem for as long as i've seen it there is you click, and....
We made it several months before, and we will make some showpieces but not release recently.....

Well, the more I progress in this hobby, the more I think about the first expensive earbud I acquired, the MX985. While I know it's considered one of the best earbuds to many people's ears, there's just nothing about it that in comparison to other similarly or even lesser quality earbuds that really grabs my attention. My concern is that while this could easily be explained by a difference in taste, it could also be explained by being a fake as I have nothing else to compare against. The one I own has a very laid back and non-aggressive sound to it, possibly due to a large soundstage which I am a horrible judge of due to having virtually no depth perception, so I can't really judge distances whatsoever. For the same volume on a Walnut, the Zen 2 for example has nearly the same vocal volume, but instruments feel far more present and louder. Instruments like harp have clear and well defined sound, so that's good. Electric guitar is decent, and certainly ahead of drums and bass, which feels lacking somewhat. It could be that this is a treble-head earbud of which I am no means a member as I am by far least concerned with the treble portion of the spectrum, loving bass and vocals. Vocals themselves are a little distant compared to other vocal-based earbuds, but have a life-like sound to them. Considering the MX 985 is 16 ohm and 120 dB/mW, and the Zen 2 is 320 ohm and both have a rather similar vocal volume given same power, that concerns me as well.
At best, the MX985 is a poor match for me, at worst it's a flat out fake. It's certainly a concern that's been growing with me as time goes on, and part of the reason I've never been willing to see about trading them off as I certainly don't have a real love for these. Maybe I'm overthinking it... but the more I experience in this hobby, especially with acquiring the Zen 2 & Edimun V3 this past week, I'm growing in concern.
Same here, not my cup of tea..So it's not just me that feels what you just felt.
It's not my taste too. It has great soundstage and lively sound, but other than that, i'm not impress.
I mean, even blox be7 and ve ashura beta can out-perform it.
But once again, maybe it's about sound prefference and its sound is definitely not the one that i'm looking for. I got it first together with ve zen v2 and ve zen v1, and i've ever written my comparison. My opinion isn't too different with yours
