Could someone please provide me with the best current links for the DIY SR2 16 ohm bud. Ones that are less than $20. Thanks. I think there is a black cabled one and a red cabled one that have been recommended. Ali searches are not working well for me at the moment.

I am trying to help a friend and the one I have was from an old listing and had a stiff cable until my husband recabled it.

Thanks. Do we agree that this would be a good choice as a first bud for someone who likes a balanced signature with iems? Am I overlooking something? My brain is fried from the heat.

I bought my SR2 Pk2 16ohm here, they arrived fast: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32801646835.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.143a63c0QswZvS
and what a nice earbud they are, they need thicker foams to become more balanced in my opinion, the thinner ones have them sounding slightly bright for my taste, also a much better fit than the EMX 500 type shell for me.

We like that store. What color cable did you choose?

I chose the red, I needed a break from the "all black" monotony to be honest, I even purchased a pink headphone extension cable because the gold 2m length was not available, not the most masculine of colours but I´m also very happy with it and wouldn´t change it for a black one.

By "revised", I mean the time they revised the MMCX socket and cable. Some reportes there is also a slight change in tuning so that's what I am interested in. Even if there is no change in sound, I don't personally mind having a 2nd pair of ST-10 as backup.

Darn! I thought you meant "revised 32ohm version of the Svara L", and I was excited to hear your comparison with the Smabat. Oh well!

Btw, I am really enjoying these ME80's. Are you sure the Smabat's are better than them?

The Smabat fits me better... I can't really walk around with the ME80 or it will fall out... any bigger and I would be unable to wear it

Smabats are worn over ear ME- 80 are not

Interesting. I find that the ME80's fit perfectly in my ears, whereas the Svara L's are a tad bit too small (not sure how the Svara L's compare sizewise to the Smabat's though).

They are the same size.

Hey everyone. Back here after almost 2 years hiatus. I have sold everything and kept the AstellnKern AK70 as my source (love it), and Shozy Cygnus as well as Rose Mojito as my earbuds. Sold everything else including my HD600s and my tube amp, as I was just not using them enough. Unfortunately the right ear driver on my Cygnus isn't working anymore, and I unfortunately broke the right earbud by accident on my Rose Mojito (after about 5 years of perfect use).

I messaged Penon Audio if they could replace the cable on my Cygnus and the earbud on my Mojito but no reply yet. Any other idea on what I can do in terms of repairs, or should I just buy new pairs for the Cygnus and Mojito?

Also does anyone know of any earbuds with velvety smooth and upfront vocals like in the Cygus, or gigantic soundstage with good sub-bass like in the Mojito? Anything dual-driver like the Mojito out there?

No. No they don't. Lol

Why don't you get both and tell us about it

Part of the good thing about MMCX design is that you can swap side (*the driver) on the ST-10 and wear it straight down. I do that sometime.
