I have received NiceHCK DIY Graphene MX760.
Now, I will compare 4 of
TY Hi-Z HP-150s(150s) / NiceHCK Graphene MX760(MX760) / EMX500(EMX500) / NiceHCK PK2s(PK2s).

Bass: 150s=EMX500>MX760>PK2s
Mids: EMX500=MX760=PK2s>150s
Treble: 150s=MX760>EMX500=PK2s
SoundStage: 150s>MX760>EMX500=PK2s

In terms of sound quality, below.
MX760 is similar to Shozy BK and a clear treble added.
EMX500 has deep bass.
TY HP-150s has good SoundStage.
PK2s has good SoundBalance.

If you need to choose only one, I recommend Graphene MX760 for sound quality which is similar to Shozy BK and a clear treble added.
If you like a deep bass and cost performance, I recommend EMX500.
If you like good SoundBalance or your ear hole is small, I recommend PK2s.
If you like good SoundStage or V shaped SoundBalance, I recommend TY HP-150s.

TY Hi-Z HP-150s(150s) / NiceHCK Graphene MX760(MX760) / EMX500(EMX500) / NiceHCK PK2s(PK2s)

Very informative! Thanks.

You could buy one of these



Maybe an all-clear transparent version for looks. They are very common in DIY stores.

Someone on Earbuds Anonymous did a detailed comparison of the Graphene vs PK2S. If you don't use Facebook, I will quote it here.

Graphene MX760 vs PK2S

Treble: Graphene is a more competent performer and produce some kind of rare attributes in order to extend the brilliance with great resolving power compared to PK2S. Some people however will be having problem with the extension of Graphene thus can opt for the more polite PK2S. The Graphene is more of showing off character whilst PK2S is more of relaxation and engage people in order let it sit down and listen to it all day without having a possibility to ear-fatigue.

Mids: I would give a slight edge on the Graphene as it does strings, bow, woodwinds with more body and proper decay than PK2S for my taste. Piano strikes are almost on par between both. Female and male vocals produced by PK2S are with great body and often people prefer this type of vocal than I would associate with Graphene. PK2S do produce a decent extension on each instruments and vocals nicely until at one point (usually 3-7khz), it is a borderline bright-ish character start to take over. Might bug some people but if it persists and bugs one, a stock full foam ( thicker than Monks+ foam ) would rectify the problem. Graphene however is a no slouch performer either. Preference is the 'key'.

Bass: Graphene produced more snappier , tighter and bolder bass impact than PK2S usually does. It does extends down lower than PK2S and offer more grip on the driver whenever bass lines hit the ground. I for one, much prefer bass on the Graphene more than PK2S. It is not night and day preference though. And yeah, only 'preference'.

Dynamics: Micro and Macro-dynamics are better and slams harder on the leading edge for Graphene. Micro dynamics is something that Graphene can do subtly better than PK2S. Its hard to judge but side by side comparison made it quite obvious with tracks packed with microdynamics and leave a gap between PK2S and Graphene.

Soundstage: Graphene is slightly wider than PK2S, PK2S do not produce a great depth which Graphene is able to render. Stability in height, I would give a slight edge on Graphene. It can differentiates which instruments should be located more accurately than just a right or left panning. On that reason, Graphene deserve to be crowned as more 3D than slight 2D presence of PK2S.

Imaging: PK2S is pretty intimate in producing sound. Though its soundstage is not as wide as Graphene, they image a very well proportion of imaging and soundstaging. Pretty decent manner of imaging and do not clump together as one inseperable blob. Graphene is different from PK2S in which it presents itself in a bit laid back vocals. They image better still than PK2S in my standards. More air and open feeling on Graphene. Both are pretty vivid and cohesive though.

Separation: Both are almost on par. They separates each notes pretty well and nice. If I give a slight edge to Graphene, would that be a problem if its the case here? I hope not!

Sharpness: Macro details extracted by both Graphene and PK2S are very well respected. Its not better than the other. However, ever so slightly, Graphene extracts a bit more information on micro details/ levels than PK2S.

Tonality: Well, both are different in tonality. Aggresive vs Polite. Silk vs Butter. Delta Sigma vs R2R Dac. Graphene is a more aggresive manner and revealing while PK2S is a more polite and not really a shy boy either. PK2S is more of a guy that you need to know more in depth and they will show what they can do and starts to appreciate. While Graphene is more of egocentric and show-off kind of guy that you always feel amuse by from the get go. However, both are reasonably balanced signature. Love them both with their each commandable strengths.

This is only based on my testing and preference. Which one I do prefer is the more suitable to my liking only. YMMV

I have mine in a little flight case:

I have added labels to mine like that too...except for cases that are already labeled by the manufacturer. I got tired of unzipping them to see what is in them. I do remember some based on the color of the case.

I think I need to label some of my headphone cases as well.

Matter of interest what are the blue and red demun earphones like and also the raven mk2? I am also wondering about the edimun v3. Do any of you have any information about these.

I like sound of blue De'mun, but cable is very stiff, so if you want to use it on a go, it's very hard and need to use earhooks cause they keep falling off
