I have collected a few Kube colors and would be happy to find more. I don't expect them to sound different. I just think they look cool:)

yes,especially if you put them together, they look like rainbow candies :ksc75smile:

Why do you say that? I only have a white Vido and I got mine probably two years after everyone else. Mine is recabled with a blue/white twist cable.

Oops sorry! I got confused and thought GREQ was talking about the Kube V1's :)

I know this is more of a DIY question but I'll ask here because more people will be able to respond!

Does anyone know where to buy mx500 front covers with metal front grille?

I'm looking to buy some to replace on my Penon BS1 when I transfer it to mx500 MMCX shells.

The original covers got damaged when removing the driver from the stock shell. So I need some new ones. Any links to buy some would be appreciated!

The UE has good quality bass (tight and punchy, no bleed into the mids, acceptable extension) but I always felt it was a little lacking compared to say, kube V1, WS MK2 etc. Yes those are bassy earbuds, but nonetheless the RY4S was considered top dog at it's price point. So I was being critical of it's performance.

But if you bass port the RY4S UE (a very small port not to overdo it). You get a nice boost in punch and some extra depth, still it doesn't bleed into the mids.

Sadly it does emphasis the biggest flaw of the RY4S UE to my ears which is a dip in the lower vocal range relative to 1-3khz (so there's a tendancy for the vocals to be a bit agressive and mids are a little rougher). I wouldn't call it overly lean as it's not a suck out, just a small dip, which gets more noticable if you boost the bass with the bass port mod.

Maybe extensive burn in and/or a cable swap would help tame that midrange, i haven't tried any of that though.

Maybe I should!

Small issue based on price point. don't sweat on it and enjoy the ride

When/if I can get a couple more Kube colors, I will line them up for a photo shoot Right now I have purple, orange, pink and white.:) My husband has blue and white.

Meanwhile, I think I have finished collecting Sony Ericsson HPM-64 colors. All re-cabled by @HungryPanda. Individual shots of some of them are in a spoiler at the end of the post.

I have both, the tc 200 and sr2 16 ohms, and the sr2 is wayy better, sweet, fuller, frontal vocals, nice clarity without being brilliant, nice kick bass, not so much rumble, the soundstage is a little intimate, but in a nice way, its perfect for acoustic songs like "la soledad y el mar- Natalia lafourcade", i prefer them over my kz zs7 and ****. for me, they are a must have if you want nice, clear and mellow mids, for 15 dollars they are awesome.
