ME80 has better soundstage and low end than RY4S UE

 

[mbwilson111]

Hope it’s better than Ry4s UE

I like my RY4S UI and will be receiving an RY4S MMCX Plus soon and my husband is getting the RY4S 300ohm. The balanced cables for them arrived today so we are ready.

I also am one of the few people in here to give the RY04 a chance and find it to be a very balanced and relaxed listen. Beautiful. Oh and I don't want to forget the RY4C. I like that one too. Very comfortable shell.

This lucky bag bud that I was talking about earlier has nothing to do with RY4S.

Spoiler: lucky bag bud

It is the NiceHCK ME80 and is not in an MX500 shell.

@snip3r77 I was just looking at your list to see what you do like. Is it up to date? I don't even see any buds listed. You have asked about so many different ones that I thought by now you would have several.

Lol what even is that design on the new **** earbud. Surely that thing would stick out of your ear too much to stay put with a cable attached...

Seems like wearing this looped over ear is a must. I guess the design is for tuning and not aesthetics/practicality. Might sound great but it sure does look funny!

like i said, they copied jvc fw10000

 

[cyh03176]

did a little bit of research, jvc did that design because their engineers wanted to focus on the sound when designing the chambers and didn't want to bother with where to put the mmcx plug, that's why they design the mmcx plug to be separated from the housing. so jvc actually had a purpose for that design

can't wait for mine to arrive. but looks it won't arrive before my vacation, so sadly can't bring it along on the trip

Nice. Time to update the list

I'm proud to say my list is currently up to date

It works better on IEMs because they insert deeper and are physically smaller. Also the fit is more secure so you don't have to worry about weight distribution as much.

Not sure I agree with that design for earbuds but i guess until someone tries the finished product we won't know how it works in practice.

FENGRU DIY Tingo TC200 why is it called FENGRU Silver because of the color? Or is this the official name?

Here is a list of posts that might explain the name:

By the way, anyone who is still looking at storage options for earbuds and related parts/accessories. I found this to be a perfect solution for my needs:

For me, "Silver" is way easier to remember lol

But, their sound is "golden"

Seriously though, I haven't compared to any other buds, and my ears are quite easy to please, but they do sound very good to me, and are great for the price. Plus, the color is nice and unique, and I quite like the cable as well.

Earbud - Linsoul DTM A8 MMCX

Cable - Tripowin C8 Silver Copper Foil Mixed Braided 2.5mm Balanced

Got a chance to try out these review units and take a few photos.

The Yuin type style shells of the Linsoul DTM A8 are very unassuming at first glance. Though they are nicely put together with the MMCX connector.

The Tripowin C8 Silver Copper Foil Mixed Braided 2.5mm Balanced Cable is a thing of beauty. I did my best to take as good as possible pictures, but even that does not do these justice. They come in many types of terminals, for different connections. When in use, they bring a whiff of warmth to the overall sound signature. I do wish these had the straight connection and not over the ear, as for use with the PK1 shell, it does not work as well than it would with something like the Svara - L / SMABAT ST-10 earbud which have the MMCX connection on top.

When these two meet, they come together to produce a extremely smooth and vocally biased sound. Bass is present, but limited. Mids are forward and excel in delivery. Highs are rolled off a touch early, but with just enough detail left behind to round out the overall signature.

I will say on its own, the Linsoul DTM A8 is versatile on its signature depending on what MMCX cable used and what type of foam cover is worn. Personally, for me, I use the airy VE Foams (not shown), to let the optimal amount of sound pass through, while still providing good comfort.

Final thoughts are that maybe this pairing is not made in heaven, but the Linsoul DTM A8 Earbud does play nice with many types of cables and the Tripowin C8 Silver Copper Foil Mixed Braided 2.5mm Balanced Cable would be a wonderful pairing for Earbuds/Earphones that could use a touch of warmth.
