Blur earbud?The Black Panther has landed ! !
One down, one to go!
Looks the same size in the picture but actually it's about 1m smaller in diameter. Fits more comfortably and seals best with heigi full foam now. No pressure on the ear with these foams like before.

Kanzenoka Parangtritis. Excellent separation of vocals and instruments, pace, rhythm and timing among the best I´ve heard so far. Clear and clean treble, very clean mids. For lovers of jazz it´s a dream come true, but for all other genres it sounds also superb. A steal for the price.
They’re a Wong Kwan Wae creation/mod of I think a Docomo earbud that I believe is available in China only at the moment.
So yes , @seanc6441 you called it right they’re a Blur!

What exactly are you doing with your BS1s here? Love the sound sig when it's wedged correctly but having major fit issues...
I believe he is reshaping the bell to reduce the size. I did the same thing recently with some emx500 shells. It's not the front of the bud that sits closest to your ear drum that is the problem. It is the area in the back closest to the wire that presses against the outer ear... This is where my ears hurt when the shell is too big ..
Here is a pic of the reshaped shells

I also had some experiences with sanding MX shells (front part in particular). They are a disaster to clean afterwards because a lot of the fine particles ends up in the vent holes - possibly some in the damping material that can't really be removed. Front holes are fine, everything that enters can easily leave afterwards and these membranes are not sensitive to extremely small particles.
I keep wishing for earbuds that could easily be modified and it's not happening. Problem is as always, drivers that are glued in the front plastic - these are often very hard to remove, almost always results in a broken front cover or broken coil wires. Broken front covers are easy to replace though.
They are if you contact Wong through Facebook and private mssg him (Earbuds Anonymous group) that’s how I got mine from him directly.Thanks!...thought I recognised them lol! Wish they were available in the UK!
oh you don’t wanna know... Let’s just say it involves sandpaper and the will to devalue your earbuds
Basically I’ve sanded the edges down a bit but sadly the back piece is actually metal so it won’t sand much but the other part is plastic and easily can be take down.
I tried my best to keep the form of the earbud by sanding at two angles first then finish with a flat sand to remove any rough edges.
It’s actually more comfortable now despite only being 1mm less in diameter. I think that was just enough to take pressure off my ear.
This guy knows his stuff. Usually you don’t wanna mess with the curve of the front at all, it’s tuned to sound well with that face surface. But if you can take some off the back or back-top it’s ideal to reduce the bulky earbuds.
I barely sanded the front to keep the general dimensions the same but took most of the sanding off the back and top.
