Kube V1 modded, K's Ling, Rose Mojito modded.

The Blox Yin foamless sort of sounds like a super emx500, but it's smoother and more relaxed slightly so I won't class it as an energetic sound.
Just ordered some kube 1 and 2. What mods do you recommend for 1?

I want to recable some Vidos, since I like their sound, but can't stand the stock cable. How do I know, which cable goes to which bud? Are they marked somehow, so that I don't mix left with right? Or maybe it doesn't matter? Kind of a newbie question, I know, but I've never done this before.

Depends on the replacement wire, most have the core marked to differentiate the common from + or - Some I have had have the red as left and blue as right so I always use a multimeter to test before connecting

You're right. In my case it's red and green (at least it looks like that in the picture). Didn't realize before. Thanks!

So I got the Yincrow X6 and the RW-9 today, and I can't really tell much of difference. there is one, but I can't really pinpoint what it is. But its minor enough where It doesn't matter too much to the music I tested it with (Time - Pink Floyd, Letter - Yosi, Enter Sandman - Metallica, Limit to your Love, and a song from Lorde.)

The bass is amazing and clear though. mids are clean and highs are strong but not overwhelming or sibiliant. The sound much better than the Sennheisers.

I might go with the X6's just because they are cheaper.

What source did you use when you compared them both?

X6 should be more V or U -shaped than RW-9 which is claimed to be more balanced. I have X6 and have been thinking of getting RW-9.

I wonder if the ry4c would be a good candidate for an mmcx mod. If the stem diameter is large enough, maybe shorten the stem, and use roundround connectors to make something similar to the pt25 without the airpodish cover.

Anyone have it mind measuring the stem diameter?

Yincrow X6 sounds like Vido.

I bought Yincrow X6 from Amazon, but Yincrow X6 sounded same as my Vido...
So I returned Yincrow X6 with reason that I bought wrong earbuds.
A friend called me as a super claimer, but I didn't care.

I was using a OnePlus 6T with the USB dongle to test. I do have a Fiio BTR3 i can test with over wireless and LDAC. maybe some amping will show the differences better. I will do another round of testing with the dac. I can also plug it in over USB and use it as a USB dac, so I can bypass Bluetooth issues if needed.

I mean i could tell there was some difference, i just couldnt put my finger on it, maybe with the BTR3 i can pull out some of those details better.
