Do they scale well with an headphone amp?

yes bro, as long as its not a warmer-sounding amp or dap.

While we are on the subject of comfortable earbud shells, does anyone know what this shell is or has been used with? These came with the little Benjie X6 DAP pictured with it. I expected they would be terrible but they are actually pretty good... fairly balanced. Or, possibly I am just going crazy.

There are 2 types of docomo shell developed as an accessory for NTT docomo mobile phones: Old(Variant) docomo shell (from 2005 in Japan) and New docomo shell (from 2006 in Japan).

The Old(Variant) docomo shell has a long stem for the bass boost mechanism.



The New docomo shell has a flat head, a short stem and has become famous for being copied and sold as the "Yuin PK" type.
In addition, New original docomo's driver is also used as Shozy Cygnus driver.


Edit:
New original docomo black version was sold as "2017 NiceHCK DIY PK2 black version 1", but this was sold out.

Thanks, good info.

Nice work! I even have some yellow foams Are those stock docomo recabled?

yup these are recabled docomos, stock cable are J-cord with mic

 

[wskl]

That would probably make it warmer. I know my husband experiments with the thickness when making his own buds. If I can get stock ones in this shell inexpensively, I probably would take both colors.

It was posted by another member, a seller from Malaysia has both black and white stock docomo

They look well made.

Trying to find out what that shell is.. or even the driver if anyone knows. They came FREE with a $32 dap!

Coincidentally I was looking at these the other day.
Probably not exactly the answer you're looking for, but it seems to be the same shell.
Different plug though.
I've ordered 3 for modding, unless it actually sounds good.
Hopefully they ship globally, but either way it's a starting point.

That does look like the could be the same... and there are colors! A donor shell if nothing more.

I am actually listening to these right now plugged into my desktop dac/amp and they are really sounding good. So, did I get a $32 bud with a free dap... lol.

Well I tried. One year of high school German a million years ago was not much help, but seems that they ship from China but not to the UK.
