Earbuds Round-Up
Oct 2, 2020 at 10:02 AM Post #49,516 of 75,857
Received my ME80 and Rambo II this week. The ME80 is fantastic. I absolutely love it. The Rambo II on the other hand is a major disappointment. I can't get a good fit with it but even when I shove them in my ears the sound is muddy. Definitely regret the purchase. Great build quality on both of them though.

You are not alone, unfortunately.

Rambo II is a disaster for me. They are veiled. I regret the purchase too and I will try to return them.

Can you please share your "Neutron compatible eq" for me80 and Bk2 ?
Nameless arrived today, burning in for the moment...
And as I also have Monk+ SL, would also be curious about your Monk lite eq...

I didn't compile one for the me80 yet, and to be honest, it doesn't need it. the default tuning of the me80 is fantastic. I'll still build one and I'll be sure to post it here when I do.

I'll eventually get around to building a peq and wavelet file for the monk+. I don't have the sl version, though.

@knightaz

A couple things:

1. Fit. The Rambo 2's are fairly heavy. I too was pretty disappointed with the fit as I got them because of the mmcx only to find when I use any decent cable the buds would displace too easily or fall out. At @assassin10000 's suggestion, I wear many of my buds with the cable over the ear.

2. Sound. The veiled sound stems from two things, the mid-bass bleed and the relaxed upper mids.

Here's the compensation curve the Rambo 2's require:

Here are the files that do this.

Do you mind sharing the autoeq file for the monk lite 120s?

lol... going back to find an old post and just saw this. Yes, that diy mx500 is very under-rated. love mine

Agreed, If I were to pick 2 buds out of the ones I have to keep. It would be the MX500 and the Yincrow X6 (review is coming up soon on it). :joy:

enjoy! The monk lite 120ohms were already a great bud to begin with, but I appreciate the leaner mid bass and better clarity these compensation files bring.

Might be worth checking out the Hessian Ansata. Made by the same guy behind Rambo & Ourart. It even looks quite similar to the Rambo II except for a few minor details (so disregard if you're having fit issues). Cheaper as well. The tuning is also purported to be different than the Rambo II. One drawback is that it's not available on AE (I think) but is instead available on Taobao. Unfortunately, mine has yet to be burned in so I'll have to hold off judgement.

Nr 1 earbud rec at the moment. :thumbsup:

Will probably get the RW-9 during 11/11.


EDIT: NiceHCK B40 rank from A to B.

you need to run my autoeq file on the k's nameless. :) cleanest basshead sound profile on a bud ever. The bass is not the cleanest but the overall profile is clean and the bass is tastefully monstrous, and I am not a basshead. I can see why many of us are drawn to a more "fun" sound from time to time.

Agreed on the x6. I still have yet to compare my x6 and rw9. I got distracted by the lz a7

Dont use autoeq, but if you can give me the settings you changed I can try. (I use the Neutron Player)
