Earbuds Round-Up

yeah, dont change it if it works should be applied more.

But I do think having more shell types will make it so that more people can get a good fit, as everyone has different ears.
(for me the mx500 shape fits the best)
Yes, I agree with you, but obviously, it is rare for a good model to be repeated again.
Has anyone tried these models.

Audio Technica black shell looks very cool. Beautiful, simplistic, and clean design.
I like this T-Music V5, it can be seen that they made an effort to improve quality through each subsequent version

I was actually eyeing some of the newer T-Music buds, especially their 32 ohm and 130ohm beryllium driver models. Might try order a couple pairs from them on 11.11 :D.

Cool. 130ohm "Bery" is probably in the top 5 list of DIY drivers. That is also the reason why I build 3 different versions :wink:

Hey everyone, haven't been posting as much lately. I have to set up an old laptop with a light dev environment in order to continue generating more compensation files for earbuds. I hope to get that up and running in the next couple days.

Have a great weekend!

Was wondering where you've been! Hurry up an get some files done up for all of my earbuds, will ya?

You might as well start with the RW9's, followed by the Kube V1, I'll let you know which others you should work on when you've got those ones done :wink:

NiceHCK really should separate their listing for the MX500 and the PK1.

Btw, I have the 2017 MX500's: AK New Arrival DIY MX500 In-ear Earphones

One of the drivers rattles (and no amount of sucking will fix it lol), so I haven't listened to them in a while. But I thought they were really great for the price.

After I got them, I was wondering how they compared to the "2017 New NICEHCK DIY MX500 PK1 Earbuds"

And now, I am wondering how they will compare to the the "2019 New NICEHCK DIY MX500 PK1 Earbuds" lol

If they sound as good as my initial ones, then I'll be happy enough. But I suspect they will be even better (ie more refined).

Hi @antdroid , I remember you also like the galaxy buds, which has good timbre. Do the yincrow x6 have better resolution and technicalities than them? Planning to get them on 11.11. Thanks

If I understood correctly, TONEKING D.V. uses a hybrid diaphragm driver (3 layers) where "PU" is used for Low frequencies, PEEK for mids, and Ti (Titanium) for highs?

I'll definitely get the rw9 file together for you!

Don't have the kube v1. I'll look around to pick that up for the 11/11 sale. Is it a currently produced buzd?

I think v1.4 has been good. I'll most likely make a version with more sub bass and bass as wel and offer two compensation files from now on. They'll eventually all be avail on my blog site when I get that up and running.

Are there any other PK shell earbuds I should try? I'm enjoying the nicehck b40 immensely for listening in bed and sleeping, at low volumes, very cozy, sound profile is rather mellow, but with more subbass than I've heard on any other earbud thus far.
Is the Yuin PK2 and PK1 originals still worth the cost? I've heard the DIY versions that are cheaper don't sound as good.

I ordered the smabat m2 pro diy stuff, with the black gold driver, I considered the ST10s, but given I can try the fancy black gold driver for cheaper than the base st-10s, I bit the bullet there.
Will give impressions when it eventually arrives.

Supposedly my yincrow RW-100 and Memt T6 are in the country, as are the other jcally/smabat cheaper bud, the jc10, so I'll give impressions of those when they arrive, I have a feeling the jc10 will be far better than the ec01

The Jcally/Smabat EC01 are okay, they distort at high volumes however and are overall bright, with decent enough tuning, with foams there's a bit of midbass so it's not aneamic, I think the shell would be great for small ears, smaller than the PK shell, but I think I'll put a better driver in them in future so they sound better, as the current one just feels pretty mediocre to me.
There's definitely far better value buds around for the money, even if the EC01 come with a lovely soft earbud case, and have a rather nice feeling cable, feel and look reasonably premium.
