I don't think it is safe to use the stuff while charging, unless it is a dedicated desktop amp. Do u still get shocked when not charging concurrently?



How's the sound like?
Any harsh upper mids? And how's the subbass extension?

TIA!
No harsh upper mids, smooth, maybe the best part of this buds. Subbass is also good.

DIY beryllium 400 ohm
Hmmm... first time hear about that one. I know only about DIY 600ohm beryllium and DIY drivers with impedance 400-500ohm are use graphene coat.
Did I miss something?

Can you compare it with Tomahawk? I'm interested in Tomahawk, it has a good discount on the 11.11 sale.
Are you recommend these or the "Green Goblin" ones?

Any idea about the diameter of the shells for TO200, TO400s, and TO600?

I've asked two sellers on AE, including Toneking store, and both told me they have 15.4mm, but I think it's the diameter of the drivers.

Yup is 15.4mm driver + plastic cover = > 16mm. But the main problem is not the diameter of the driver but the shell shape which is characteristic for all TONEKING buds.
I have a fit issue with MX500 (15.4mm drivers). The only shell for this type of driver which fits nicely in my ear is DP100 type and some metal shells with "concave arc" shape.
See this post where I explained what the problem was with different shapes. Even 14.8mm driver with "convex arc" shape like Nicehck EBX can cause a fit issue

What is weird in my case is that my Tomahawk don't give me big fit issues whereas the ISN Rambo II, which have shells with about 16mm, have the worst fit no matter which and how many foams I put on them. They are far from my best fit yet (diy pk1 from Nicehck).

Yes, the MX500 cover has a 16.8mm diameter. Rambo II has a custom non-standard cover and smaller driver.
The problem with Rambo II is that the stem is quite far from the driver and is long that together with the MMCX connector it has more weight outside the ear
and thus pulling the buds out of the ear, while with Toneking, the ear (Antitragus) carries the heavier part of the shell, ie. balance is better.

What metal buds would you recommend that have the "concave arc"?
