Any review for the Smabat M1 Pro?

edit: nvm, sadly no

That's the listing, although I went for the transparent cable. Yep I agree, I was in a crazy mood when I ordered Note: 1 order. That'll be me I still think the cheaper one is good enough to live with the cable issue.

We've all been in that crazy mood before my friend! But you really like them so it paid off for you.

When they start getting to be around that price though, there are already others that I'm interested in... plus new ones popping up all of the time! (I'm looking at you Smabat pro with biocellulose interesting looking driver!).

I got a pair of Koss KSC75s and Portapros so I've been mostly listening to them the past two weeks. I just popped on my RY4S UEs for the first time in awhile and yo! These sound real good! I forgot how good they sound. These are endgame earbud material.

I can't see where they mention biocellulose drivers?

They are! As are many of the cheapo buds these days. Great time to be an audio-cheapo-file!

Fair enough, just checking there wasn't another new one to tempt me!

 

[FastAndClean]

it is supposed to be improved version of ST10 with smaller size, it is a lot cheaper though, go figure

While it could be bio-cellulose, it also could be something else. I don't think Smabat states specifically that it is. The picture shows some kind of composite diaphragm, which can be any kind of fiber that is either natural or non-natural in origin, from wool to nylon (*what shown in the picture, that white-ish diaphragm, actually looks like wool to me) . A true bio-cellulose diaphragm, made famous by Sony's MDR-E888, usually refers to the kind of fiber harvested from modified bacteria, and the diaphragm tends to be close to transparent.

Yep it's a bit expensive for a DIY option that no-one has reviewed, I definitely lucked out it being a good 'un.

That Smabat looks interesting and I'll be keeping my eye out for impressions.

The only earbud I have my eye on at the moment isn't all that new, it's the Asura Omega edition. I already have the 2.0 and 2.0 balanced, they are amongst my favorites but just finding it hard to justify getting another, more expensive, version. Especially considering how impressive some of the cheaper earbuds have been recently.
