IME, I think RX-1 buds outputs the largest sound stage I've heard for earphones, and I thought I've heard large sound stage already. I guess nothing beats huge dynamic drivers for that. :grimacing:

Haha! I sold my RX-1 because I thought they sounded too confined and congested. I've been an earbud nut the last 9-10 years and soundstage is the main reason I love earbuds. Great that you love earbuds. Keep exploring the earbud world, mate!

So, the apertures behind the metal guards are for treble frequencies? It's not noticible on my RX-1. I dunno where it's at and might be covered with the donuts.

I'm presuming this is typical earbud deaign element?

I was listening this weekend to the "15.4mm speaker unit double unit hifi moving coil Tri-band equalization" drivers I placed in MX760 shells. Connected to my iFi Micro iDSD, with the XBass & 3D Holographic enabled, those drivers actually have a decent amount of Bass impact - more than when using them with a DAP.

The set of "DIY Handmade PHEB01 24ohm Hi-Fi DDM Dual Diaphragm Matrix Dynamic High Fidelity Earphone Earbuds" that I bought last Fall, were part of the equipment I gave to my Dad - so I don't have them here to listen to & compare.

How is QY-888? It looks very interesting.

It is actually a 3D printed shell with old Japanese's NOS driver and MMCX connector. So far it sounds pretty much like an old earbud with a rather warm and smooth sound signature. But given it is said to use an old driver, I'll give it some burn in first before making up my mind.

Thank you for your words.
In your opinion, what is the earbuds with the best bass response (and presence) with the Yuin PK shell?

The best bass response using Yuin that I've personally experienced would be Uairekko's custom earbuds specifically requesting a bassy signature. I haven't heard the new version of the DIY PK2, but own the original version, so can only speak from experience with it.

It's easy to find/buy Uairekko's custom earbuds? I found the Facebook webpage. Are they expensive?

I blind bought them as I was curious, and at the time after $12 Western Union Fees and shipping, I paid just a little over 100 for them, with neither of us really knowing how much shipping would cost, so I overpaid to be safe. As far as buying them, you talk to him on Facebook, and he'll ask you a bunch of questions in order to build you a truly custom earbud. I'm currently in the process of ordering another two, but Facebook decided I was getting hacked, so I'm waiting on a response from them to see if I get my account back. All in all, I was quite pleased with the experience, but I may be considered easily pleased by some. @nmatheis Just got some too, and I'm hoping is enjoying them.

How long did it take for your buds to finish from Uairekko? It's been two months and only the buds have been painted. I asked about a different cable, but the dude has stopped responding altogether. We haven't even got to the driver tuning yet... He sometimes won't respond for two weeks. Have no clue what's going on on his end...

Hmm, mine was a couple weeks, but I think he was still relatively unknown at the time. And he was quite quick with communication too. Odd, and unfortunate.

Thank you so much for the information. Sounds a very good solution to get a personalized earbud. I will think about it. But first I will try to order the "2017 New NICEHCK DIY PK2 Ver.2" to test it.
