Really, if you're going to consider a dap you'd have to use BT with, you may as well look into the AK XB10 which is tiny, has respectable driving power, and easily has the best BT connection of anything I've ever tried.

I should seriously consider that (or something like it). Thanks.

after a few days with the R4YS and EMx 500 i can say i like the sound of the EMX500 better . it has a certain vibrancy which the R4YS lacks although being similar in sound signature

I have received Braid RY4S.
Braid RY4S has sharp treble than Original RY4S.
Comparing Braid RY4S and EMX500, Braid RY4S is similar in sound signature with EMX500.

But the Braid RY4S has a punchy low sound. I like Braid RY4S's punchy low sound more than EMX500's sound.
Perhaps Braid RY4S is the best Earbuds for EDM.

Perhaps Braid R4YS fits EDM perfectly.

I agree the new cable gives better sound there is punchy sub low articulation with a smooth extension but I find the emx500 better in 3D space and sound movement but it's not burned in yet.

The VSIN 215 is one of 4 excellent earphones I’ve added to my collection in the last week. (with 12 more pairs currently on order) This 10mm dynamic driver is producing a sound signature that rivals any of my dual drivers and hybrids. I like the looks too - mine is the silver with a transparent red faceplate. This plastic earphone has an exceptional build so if you view the picture you’ll see that the strain reliefs and L shaped jack are second to none. I have tried this with a number of EQ settings and you will want to use the 215 with flat EQ - this is a basshead IEM with good sounding highs and mids. These are quite a comfortable fit and cable microphonics aren’t much of a problem. Tipwise I’ve had good results with either KZ Whirlwinds or JVC Spiral Dots. These are 32 ohms, easy to drive and have average sound isolation. The VSIN 215 has quickly become a favorite of mine. They are available from Aliexpress.

What's this got to do with earbuds?

For the people using phones as a source for their music, what dac/amps are you guys using if any? I'm debating getting a portable dac amp for my iphone 6s instead of looking at DAP's as I use spotify exclusively these days and all the daps with built in spotify are quiet costly.

Any good options out there for iphone 6s that will notably improve the SQ?

you might try the shanling M1, it's really small, smaller than the cayin n3 I'm using

Even though the N3 doesn't receive BT in aptx, does it still sound okay to you for streaming anything equal to 320kbps?​

I'm using the cayin n3 as bluetooth from my phone for spotify, and i like it alot. it sounded better than my phone or tablet, and the best thing is I'm not bothered with dangling cable when using my tablet while browsing. I'm using the N3 with the Fiio E17K as amp. not that the n3 is underpowered, but because i like the volume rotary and the quick EQ access of the E17K.

another product that caught my attention is the Centrance Bluedac

i agree the R4YS has some good sub bass without distortion as well.. which rivals the emx 500..which is slightly more rough in texture

Can you recommend me a good bluetooth earbud? Or is there a way to build my own bluetooth earbud? Any AliExpress shop which sells the bluetooth cable alone?

I don't believe you can delete posts. Not sure why this is, but that's it.

You can use a bluetooth receiver such as the FiiO BTR1 (just one example — there are others). Then you can use your favorite earbud.

I think you are right. I'll post it in another forum. If a moderator wants to delete it that's okay.

I have to say, putting Monk donuts on my seaHF AWK-F150C buds has improved the sound over the Monk thins I was originally using. Treble sounds better. Currently enjoying Amplifier's Airborne (from the S/T album), RM Hubbert's Simple Things (from the Recovery 2 E.P.).

Yesterday, I picked up a couple of additional storage bins, to hold the parts for assembling & rewiring earbuds.
This afternoon, I did some reorganizing of all the storage bins.

Six of the storage bins -


My main Earbud / Earphone portable storage bin -


Backup & less used Earbud / Earphone storage bin -


Bin for Earbud shells (MX500 / MX760 / PK1), 14.8mm & 15.4mm Drivers, Cable Splitters, & MMCX connectors -


Bin for Various 2.5mm & 3.5mm connectors, 4-Pin XLR connectors, Random cables, & Earbud Tuning Filters -


Bin for some of my various Earbud Foams, Rings, Hooks, & Clips -


Bin for some of my Hiegi Earbud Foams, and Silicone & Foam Earphone tips -

may i ask, where did you source those 3.5 mm connectors?
thanks..
