Earbuds Round-Up

I am interested in getting an inexpensive balanced cable for my Rose Masya but I don't know if there is anything out there that will sit flush to the black part of the stem... like the stock cable does. Does anyone have an aftermarket cable on their Masya and if so could you post a photo?

Sorry not cheap but excellent balanced cable. ISN audio S16 from Penon. Convinced me that cables have their own sound too.

Those are nice but I want to avoid that gap between the black connector and the black part of the stem... like with the stock cable... it fits over and covers the plastic bit.

I know you don't see it when you are wearing them but...

The connector on the Masya / Mojito is known as the old UE 0.75mm 2 pins. You can find them on very old UE's IEM, like Triple-fi 10 and such. YOu can buy a balanced cable and has it reterminated with these connectors, which you can find on Aliexpress.

I found the connectors that attach to the earpieces. So we could buy some and put them on any balanced cable. Or, did you mean there are places to buy a balanced cable already with those connectors?

Old UE 0.75mm 2 pins are not a particularly common connector to use these days, so it won't be an easy find when it comes to ready-made cable. Retermination will be a better bet.

Phew! Thought I had lost a bunch of buds, including the Zen lite I was looking for. A computer component box with my Shozy BK, Zen Lite, Kinera bud (this one works!), a Sabia, Qian 69, and a Vido. Plus a couple of amps. Took me a week to find, despite the box being in full view. :o2smile:

I really have too much stuff and need to part with some of it.

The KZ plug fits over the Masya. This is just the basic cable. You could reterminate to balanced or try to find a balanced cable with these plugs (don’t know if they exist).
I don’t know how the Masya or Mojito are wired (which hole is pos/neg, or what).
Edit: CCA cables. I don’t have. KZ.

Thank you for the recommendations guys. I now own 5 headphones/earphones with braided cables and all of them are my favorite, including the Nicehck B40 that you guys recommended. I'm a happy camper :D

I like the small lip that grips onto the foam covers, more earphone companies should do this.

You know you're really in trouble when the buds you're looking for are in your ears! :)

Looking for reviews/impressions of the Toneking TY2 (pro or not), it's the only really interesting 11.11 deal I've found so far, 61€ instead of 94€ so it's tempting if they are good.

Can't find anything online :/

The MusicMaker ToneKing TY2 was the first set of "expensive" [$88] earbuds that I bought, back in November of 2016.
I ordered them, because I thought they looked pretty cool.
Mine have pretty good Midrange & Treble, but not much Bass - a bit like the PT15 (which are less than $10).
Due to their size & shape, the TY2 are not as comfortable as my other earbuds - so I haven't listened to them in quite a while.
.
In the same price range, I prefer the sound of my VE Asura 2.0s.
