Well... Got the new Cypherus Blue Darth earbuds in. Listened to them and thought they were defective and had a horrible channel imbalance. Switched channels to the other ear and still sounded bassier in the right. After a bunch of tests with different earphones and sources, I think I'm losing my hearing in the left...

Sorry to hear that. Dont jump to conclusions though, it might not be permanent hearing loss, it could be a passing issue of sone sort, get it checked out if you can. Best of luck.

I don't quite follow. How is NTT DoCoMo related to Shozy and these DIY "NiceHCK"-branded earbuds? The housing looks similar if not the same. Does NTT DoCoMo manufacture both these and the Shozy Cygnus?

Sweet! My 6yo old son has hearing issues in his left ear, so I can easily sympathize with people suffering from hearing loss. He's already on his third ear surgery...

Hi everyone!
 
I've been looking at this thread for a while because i too wanted something different from IEMs.
Does any of you guys can recommend an earbud similar to Earsonics SM64 (Warm and smooth with a clear bass).
I bought the Zen 2.0 but it's still missing something.
 
Thanks!

TY Hi-Z 400ohm is warm and smooth with good bass IMHO

Qian39 re-wire is finished...  (except - I installed some of the thick Black / White VE foams, after this photo) -
 

 
Have them connected to my DP-X1, and listening to Alasdair Fraser (fiddle) & Natalie Haas (cello) on Spotify.
Sounds really good.  Have not yet tried swapping back and forth between these and the stock set of Qian39 earbuds.

Left: Seahf 650                   Right: TY Hi-Z 650​

 ​

The difference I thought would be more like HD 600 (TY) vs HD 650 (Seahf) but it was more like AKG K701 (TY) vs Grado RS-1 (Seahf).
 

1. The TY 650 you can't really call laid back like the HD 600 or even 650 but it is  definitely more laid back than the Seahf.
2. If you know you like the more forward and aggressive sound with less delicate presentation, go for the Seahf.
3. The TY has a flatter FR.
4. Overall the sound signature is very similar and you can tell it's different tunings of the same driver.
5. They are both hard to drive so have either a powerful player or an amp.
6. The Seahf is not behind the TY in sound in any way despite having the cheaper molded plug. I thought about chopping it off but I really like the seahf logo on it, so it's staying stock =)
7. I like the brown more than the red.

After I purchased the headphones...

$111 for Yinman 600, so going to take a chance. I've been curious and the 500 & 150 seem well received. I hope it goes over well.

 

[noknok23]

Is Yinman 600 hard to drive?
