Earbuds Round-Up

As you have not heard either of the two earbuds that have been inquired about reading your post could be off putting to someone reading it
Only wanted to pass an info I've read/heard, much like a lot of discussions here. No offense meant whatsoever.
I did also state that I've never really tried them as a disclaimer so any reader can take it as it is.

And yes, I like the DQSM Panda PK2S more than the NiceHCK PK2. They're one of my favorite buds with PK shells.

Panda looks interesting. Could any owners take a photo of the front plastic cover? It looks glossy black unlikes a typical front cover of PK shell.

I rate the panda’s over the original diy pk2 but it’s neck to neck with the newer pk2 variant that has had some obvious adjustments to tuning and durability of the cable which is now coated like the graphene’s in clear silicon.

New pk2 extracts more detail but isn’t as smooth as the panda. Better treble but worse bass. Wider soundstage but a little more peaky in high mids which makes the music get a little busy at times for the smaller soundstage to handle.

It’s more like a sidegrade to my ears.

It’s vents are bigger and differently spaced than regular pk grille. Sounds more directed at you than wide field of sound.

Personally I preferred the spacing of original grille but this one is really nice for comfort as the front is curved and very smooth. Looks great too.

Ah yeah, definitely just a sidegrade between both in terms of SQ. You can't go wrong with getting either of them.

But if you don't like oxidizing cables though, then get the Pandas over the NicePK2. :)

I wonder if the new pk2 will oxidize it has same cable as graphene's now coated in silicone. Anyone's graphene's oxidizing?

I made an an error yesterday comparing BGVP DX3 to OurArt Ti7, I actually meant NiceHCK EBX. Neither can touch the OurArt Ti7 (Especially since I fitted the very good balanced cable)

Ourart TI7 is that good? I read mixed reviews but absolutely love the look of it and the grille design is very cool, like a mini headphone driver. Also the foams look really pourus and thick unlike any ive seem before. Are they different than standard donuts?

What makes them so good if you don’t mind me asking?

To me they are my favourite earbuds, superb build quality and sound close to full size headphone than others. My K's 600 does that too though

You are usually a lot less specific because you do enjoy all kinds of earbuds so when you say that something is clearly your favorite it carries a lot of weight. I've had my eye on OurArt Ti7 for some time now, many people really do enjoy them.

Cool I might have to purchase these now lol!

Maybe balanced is doing it? have you tried it with an SE cable like maybe stock cable or something and does it sound close to as good?
