Changed first to show ranking result.
Please watch the "Earbud Survey" ranking result and vote for the ranking!
I think that this would be a reference when purchasing new Earbuds.
You need Google ID(like Gmail).
Price is divided into 5 tiers of /$0→, /$20→, /$50→, /$100→, /$200→.
You can vote 1 - 5 rating to any earbuds which you've used and can submit form. Then you can watch the new ranking result. The URL is as follows. Enjoy this!

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

Those are parts of the "Neutrik NTP3RC-B Plug 3.5mm Right Angle Black/Gold" connectors, that I ordered from Zack Electronics (they have the lowest price I've found in the USA).
http://www.zackelectronics.com/neutrik-ntp3rc-b-plug-3-5mm-right-angle-black-gold.html

Using a technique shown to me by Wong Kuan Wae, I take the right-angle part of the shell, and place different 2.5mm & 3.5mm plugs in them, to make compact right-angle connectors.

Here's one with a 2.5mm TRRS plug, before the final assembly of the shell (it gets filled with Gorilla Glue, and then the strain relief is pushed over the threads).

that price is excellent but overseas shipping will be kill the deal.
thanks for the technique btw..

Woo-hoo the 89cent per 100 foams that I ordered from AE just arrived.

Take that VE!

Perfect almost as porous as VE thin foam. It's so much that I even donated some to my friends. I sure hope they add more color in the future. I wouldn't mind paying more for color.

If we are wishing for things then if they charged an extra dollar or two for a softer foam I’d take that deal.

So I decided to pull the trigger on a usb dac after some reading and weighing my options.

I went for the Hifime Sabre UAE23HD which is mostly a DAC but also has a small amp suitable for IEM’s/Earbuds, but you can add your own amp if you need more power.

It’s not a fancy looking DAC but you pay for the internals and apperantly it’s a great performer especially the newer revision.

I paid €75 (about €15 cheaper than dragonfly black). So it doesn’t break the bank and gives me a taste of what external DACs can do. Add to that the apple camera connection kit needed to connect the DAC and the price comes up to around €100/$115. Not too bad.

Oh and I also received my DIY graphene’s today. I will burn them in overnight before giving my impressions. Initial impressions are very good natural sound similar to the shozy signature. Looks awesome too (I got the clear version)

I’ll save the comparisons till the burn in.

From Wikipedia - Neutrik was founded in 1975, and headquartered in Schaan, Liechtenstein.

I suspect they sell worldwide - check for a distributor in your area.

Using their modified right-angle connectors does allow for really compact plugs, on earbuds & earphones.

I'll delete the post if you tell me how.

Just edit your post, and replace the content with something like "deleted" or "."

this is what i'm using:
you can use it mmcx earbuds like the Svara L (i'm using this one), ourart ti7, **** PT15, Daik, Tonekings, etc

I've got that and the PT15 on the way. But it is "over ears" design cable. Can the PT15's be effectively be worn over ear?

Another interesting option:
AUGLAMOUR AG1-BT Wireless 4.0 Bluetooth Cable

You can use a bluetooth receiver such as the FiiO BTR1 (just one example — there are others). Then you can use your favorite earbud.
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fiio-btr1-bluetooth-headphone-amplifier-aptx-discrete-dac.850675/

Thanks for pointing that out. Inexpensive. Small. Has a built in clip. "Bluetooth 4.2, supporting SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX low latency". Very interested in that!

Don't know how I missed that. I would have bought black and another colour! Silly me.

i didn't own the **** anymore to try them with the bluetooth, but from what i remember the ****'s cables have enough clearance that makes them able to be worn over ear comfortably

that auglamour is tempting, the promised 8 hour battery life and magnetic swappable cable system could make them a winner
