Earbuds Round-Up

Is that the Edgun #1? Not the #2 ?
Its #1. But 1# and #2 have the same sound, but different colored.

Edgun sounds like Earbuds Anonymous, Faaeal Snow lotus 1plus, Edifier

Nice to hear that we are readen abroad @golov17 @RuFrost
^ I always find some very good info there... on a few earbuds it made some things very clear and helped me avoid a purchase or two.
Thanks.
I might be one of the few here who reads that place for info ( on fullsized stuff also ).
Translation tool is not great but you get to understand a few wierd words it gives :)

^ Ahh ok nice to know the #1 and #2 difference is only colour.
I will get to hear them soon enough.
I could not avoid them since it is a Rholupat tuned thing.

Always interesting when manufacturers list the FR with this kind of range:

I am more interested in the good ratio of the fourth and fifth items, and as far as item 6th is concerned, I'm just looking only at the FR for dolphins (3Hz-100kHz) :wink:
I keep one here in the yard :relaxed:

ok. I sold off my pixel 4xl so I have some funds to purchase either one top tier bud or a handful of mid/lower tier buds. What models do you want me to buy and compensate?

Yincrow RW-2000
At the price we talked about the day before, this would be a very good recommendation.
We haven't seen anything new in the top tier price range for a while, probably another interesting model will appear soon

The RW-2000 is the most likely bud for me to get since I love both of their other iems (X6/RW-9) but I want more info on it, since I dont want it to be another turandot for me lol.

I don't know about your experience with it, what happened?
I was expecting similar performance from DLC drivers in earbuds, such as the BL-03, but I was totally disappointed with the BGVP DX5 model

I'm listening to the ry4s 300ohm right now, at this very moment! :) They are warm stock but sadly are a tad congested in the lower mids. But great buds for the price, for sure.

I EQ this way, to increase soundstage and bring better clarity to the lower mids:

31 Hz Gain 7.4 dB
62 Hz Gain -1.9 dB
125 Hz Gain -8.0 dB
250 Hz Gain -3.3 dB
500 Hz Gain 0.5 dB
1000 Hz Gain 1.3 dB
2000 Hz Gain -0.9 dB
4000 Hz Gain 7.9 dB
Do (should) you "auto-level" after setting the EQ?

I'm curious how they look inside. I saw that HP-V16 has similar look but position of these two tubes are slightly above, on the stem.
Are they used as a vent system or have some other purpose?
Depending on the model, the Dream and Fantasy Bass Flute (Pipe-Phone) systems used either one or two resonating ducts (enhancement "pipes" aka "flutes") in various set-ups with various ports to thicken the bass and even to extend treble.

For example the dual pipe phone system (Duo Bass Boost Pipe Phone; Double Bass Flute) incorporated two ducts (pipes/flutes), a short resonator duct that came straight out the back of the head behind the driver and a longer resonator duct that went along and came out of the bottom of the stem. Both provided deeper, richer bass sound and extended the treble.

Aiwa used to detail these ducts in small diagrams along with the specifications on the back of the ear bud packaging... for the life of me I can't find an example of this at the moment but maybe someone else knows what I speak of and can provide a picture

That would be fantastic. I am looking forward to it :beerchug:

I use a preamp value typically between - 7 to - 12 dB
For me -6dB is the sweet spot. I rarely go below -6dB (-3dB to -9dB)
