"Waits Patiently"....

I had the same problem with the paint on my pair of QFred (none of the other problems, though). I solved that by buying a small can of Humbrol enamel silver metallic paint (#11) for hobby models and a small paint brush for models. It was fortunately a perfect match and now it's impossible to tell what is original paint and what is added by me.
You should be able to find that paint in any hobby shop or online. Or some other brand that is silver metallic...

By the way, about the seal at the plug, you mean it is open? I think that is for a purpose. Another Head fier who bought both CampFred and QFred noticed that the same plug is used but the QFred's plug isn't "closed". Herry replied him that it is on purpose because of the cable used for QFred.

When I reported my problem to Herry he replied that he probably will only go with pre-colored housings from now on. He can create the most amazing sound in his earbuds, but the psysical finish isn't always perfect (for example the text on my CAX black started to come off).

 
Thanks, I'll try that paint.
 
About the seal, if the design is intentional then I'll retract my statement. I just thought it was something he overlooked.
 
On the positive side, I really do like the cables he uses. They are the most flexible ones compared to my other earbuds, which tend to be too stiff and stay coiled. (The Cadenza's are the worst at this)

Hello all
 
Looking forward to do any mod in some earbuds, I have thought to get some experience before and I have open one thread to talk about it, share our experiences, improvements, etc..
 
I hope you find it interesting and I invite to all of you to participate.
 
As starting point, what do you think that could produce a bigger modification in the sound, changing the cable, removing internal foams, removing grilles, modifying the housing...?
 
Your opinions in the thread...

So, I was excited to share the Rose Masya and TY Hi-Z 400se with you all soon, as they were supposed to be here shortly.
 
However, they seemed to have gone rogue.  I live about 25 minutes north of Chicago and I was JUST there yesterday.  I really wish I could have just picked them up.
 
Now they are way out in Kansas and I am not sure why...

At least you have a delivery date! There isn't even tracking on my taobao package because mistertao is a bunch of jerks.

Edifier 180 came in the mail a few days ago. Gave them a chance for their sound signature to get embedded into my brain. Now they're definitely a slight step above the VE Monks in terms of mid-bass detail, kind of like Sennheisers, mids are nice and smooth but I can't shake off the feeling there's a big upper mid dip that isn't too great for japanese vocals. There can be good upper treble detail but it highly depends on the song. Soundstage is big and oval-like. 
 
I'd put them a step above the Seahf 320 L-D3.0, but they're about on par with VE Monks as the Monks have a more natural midrange but less detail. I don't think I'd try donut covers since I use the Edifier180's for sleeping and I lose donut covers more than full foam covers. As for comfort, the Edifier 180's are able to seal much better than the VE Monks, plus they have a slimmer profile that allows sleeping on my side much more comfortable.

Qian39's are on their way :>

Haha, they are trying hard to capitalize on name confusion. "We can't call it Beats and we can't call it Zen, so let's call it BeatZen". If they were an American company, Apple would be swooping in so fast...

What are some amazing budget white earbuds? I was thinking of trying to paint them. I was going to ask if the Edifier 180 are okay, but that review above made me curious if it's true... plus the metal piece on the bud might ruin the painting beauty of what a stock white earbud would have.

That's a little too DIY for my knowledge. Is there any online videos that show how to do this? Youtube? 
 
I was hoping for a earbud already made, but I guess I could go to and ask around at a local Maker Lab to see if someone knows more about doing that.
