Nokia HDD-1? Did they arrive?

Well, I'm sure I've bought a fake product .... it hasn't reached me yet, but the colleague @vygas bought one from this ebay seller and it's neither the original pk case nor does it have a red film controller. in short, probably € 18.5 thrown away.

That's it. The black gems. I'm glad you like them
More people have confirmed that this (2020 edition) has a better driver. The Previous model (2018 edition) that I've own has no bass.
K's shells are one of the most comfortable that I've tried aka. the "comfort king". The workmanship is also top-notch.
The cables seem strong but as far as I remember the previous model had a bit of a problem with the microphonics.

@vygas explained what on the difference in the DIY Earbuds thread. Let's hope it's a red film

@Alex.Grimm I see you owned a lot of expensive earbuds, smabats yincrows etc. Which earbuds would you say are worth looking at? I'm thinking about getting the RW-1000 Bass Pro. I'm interested most in detail and timbre; I don't mind using EQ to fix tuning. Thanks.

 

[rprodrigues]

Sure. Let me do some R&D and see if they sound better or same? What other Earbuds you may suggest for better quality in terms of sound and build both. As I mentioned, I have TP16, Monk+, FiiO EM3, Yincrow X6 etc. I need good Bass, Smooth High and Mic is must.

Which one do you prefer between X6 and TP16?

I'd like to know if the X6 are worth it since I already own the TP16...

Are there any earbuds on amazon that are like the Nicehck B40's? My brother actually likes them so I gave it to him. I'm not a fan of the yincrow RW9's and my Qian39's are strictly for ASMR stuff; great for voices but not for average music and gaming. The closest thing I could find that I've liked is the Apple Earpods and I listened to those about 8 years ago.

Edit: I have a few earbuds on the way from aliexpress but due to the pandemic they've been held at the post office for some time now.

This is non-destructive mod for treble sensitive people and a small experiment with different filters, silicone caps and full foams on AKG Y16A.

The B40's frequency response seems similar to the yincrow x6, focus on bass and mids. Dunno if the x6 is on Amazon though.

Thanks to Sam L for the measurements.

The X6 and the B40 sounds very different to me though. I dont like the B40 while I love the X6.

It's been a really busy week and if all goes well, I should be able to arrange to get a pair of VE Sun Copper after the holidays.

These are the best earbuds I could hear (see my signature)... Until I pulled the trigger for VE Zen SU, which is even better ! Despite the name, it's the same shell than VE Sun.
Sure you will enjoy them, but they deserve a good amp.

For a little little more money the VE Zen SU already comes with an amplifier.

I think I have read your review of the VE Sun Copper in another thread. So far I have only come across 3 reviews on it and the rest are about the Sun DICE.

I actually traded in my Zen Black a couple of years back in anticipation of a new model, which was later unveiled as the SUN series. But due to shortage of stock for the initial run, it was until recent weeks that I reconnected with Lee to negotiate a deal for a pair of Sun Copper.

I'm sure the Zen SU will be a better performer, but that price point is simply out of my consideration at the moment. The best I have heard is the Zen Black, but the stiff cable was not portable friendly for my previous use. I sure hope the Sun Copper can live up to its name, after years of wait.

Before I forget, can you also do a small review of the VE Zen SU?

I have just finished their burn in, will need some time (that I don't have much)...
