Very sorry!
If you do Burn-in of "DIY PK2 SR2 PRO 16ohm" more than 30 hours, the outline of the sound became to be blurred.
This is useless!
It became the sound of 1 usd earbuds…
I will continue Burn-in a little more, but I can not expect too much.
Again, very sorry!
If you like a pretty sweet sound, you can use it, but it is different from the sound of SWD2Plus.
Many high end earbuds gets worse during burn-in, then better later on. The people behind specifically state that. You should never say never

The EBX is ~60% the price of the custom Blur hALF/hALF.
Since I always wear my earbuds with the cable over the ear, the Blur (MX500 shell), and the EBX (custom metal shell), are both comfortable to wear.
The MX500 shell is shallower than the EBX, so if you're lying down, the Blur may be more comfortable.
Do you know what hALF/hALF is referring to? How is the bass compared to the K500? Thanks

Keep burning and see if it regains it's original character, nothing to lose and then you can inform us :)

Has anyone gotten their hands on the Bejo V2
I currently am a proud owner of the first iteration for Bejo but soon it'll be sold off since someone was interested in it then found out they released the V2.

Almost made the purchase but I don't want to limit my choice since I've also been eyeing for the VUNBUD and the Willsound PK32.

Everyone, I am sorry to cause you worry.:deadhorse:
When burning in "DIY PK2 SR2 PRO 16 ohm" for over 40 hours, the sound gradually returned to its original state and stabilized.
I plan to continue burning in for up to 50 hours, I have come to expect.
Again, everyone, I am sorry to cause you worry.:deadhorse:

Edit;
2018.11.10
Now I recommend DIY PK2 SR2 tpe 16ohm more.

If you want cheap but good PK type buds (11.88 usd), I finally found a recommendable hiding buds called "DIY PK2 SR2 PRO 16ohm", so please try this with donuts pad.
"SR" seems to mean SunRise driver, and "SR2" means new version. And "PRO" not shown in the graph means that silver plated cable is used.
This buds has clear treble and deep bass, so really sounds like SWD2Plus!

So the recommended one is 16 ohm? How about the other 32 and 150? Kinda curious myself. And found another seller with red cable option, same description.

Ughh.. Read some report on EA fb pages...

I'll wait for more burn report.

Hey what’s your opinion on the sub bass and mid bass on these? Compared to the Shozy BK is it less or more quantity in sub bass and mid bass?

The BK is the only earbud with acceptable bass quantity in a Pk shell for me but could use more sub bass...

About impedance, the seller said that "150ohms is vocal,32ohms has some bass,but not very much".
I like the low impedance PK type buds like SWD2+, Shozy and Docomo for using also on smartphones, only so I recommended a 16 ohm version.

About link, perhaps this seller sells same buds (copper TPE cable version) below.

About burn-in, next time I want to write successfull burn report...:triportsad:

Not sure if it was really caused by the driver itself or the cable. I believe more the cable because since I received both new drivers L & R, the R unit has still bad contacts from the connector itself.
I'm back to home and did a quick test : I confirm that the problem is definitely not from the cable but the Right driver itself.
(if it can help)

Think I’ll buy the TPE-Rubber cable version and recable if I feel it’s good enough. I like how it has more bass than the cygnus and docomo stock but not more bloated low mids and still retains most of the high’s.

Plus it’s like $12.
