yeah lol. Then again, I doubt you find an upgrade to the MX500 in that same price range...

Don't be sure.
DIY 130ohm Beryllium and probably one of DIY 19-21KHz 32ohms

 

[chavez]

50-200 usd.

(if I gave a more specific price you would know which one I am talking about and that's no fun )

Aaaaand im out .

DIY 130ohm Beryllium

Not to me and they are tuned differently anyway.

It's not okay to compare an exotic high impedance driver with 16ohm basic driver. My bad, but are you really think that even if they tuned the same way that NiceHck MX500 can be better?
Just look at that abs 6-pack man!

 

[jeejack]

130 bery and 19 21 - 32 ohm are much better than the Nicehck mx500. I have them all

The important aspect is the tuning. they could use whatever exotic material and if they dont tune it as good it wont be as good. Simple as that.


The Blon Bl-03 and the Periodic Audio BE are 2 examples of this in the iem world. The BE is (claimed) a pure BE driver but it is inferior to the 03 due to it having worse tuning.

I agree with that, but in this case other members can confirm which one is better. I own 3 pairs of 130ohm Bery's and I tried 5-6 different types of shell. Don't work well in some, but in MX500 and some metal shells it shines. Of course, don't expect to throw the driver in the shell and "call it a day". All DIY driver requires a "final" touch

I don't know, I'm a bit freaked out by that statement about the mx500 ... well, how did you use the BL3 blon, I'll stick to that example, I have four sets of blon ... and they all sound different ... so the issue of "tuned" should be linked to quality control, and here, there is much to improve on low budgets.

Well...if you bring in QC into the table, I dont really know what to think about most of these 0-10 usd buds. They are obviously mass produced to keep the prices low but QC might get thrown out the window with that...

That's what I mean, they are great budget, but I do not consider them a reference within the 0-50 €, at least in my opinion.

 

[furyossa]

This 0 -20 usd buds use $2 drivers and other parts have similar price. By adding logo the price jump to $20

To me the NiceHCK MX500 is in the top 3 until you reach the 100 usd area where you start to see proper upgrades.

 

[Narayan23]

Well well, how many of you guys are using the NiceHCK MX500? Perhaps you are looking for an upgrade? Well, stay tuned then.

Not using the MX500 but will most likely buy them since you speak so highly of them, I would be interested to read your thoughts on an upgrade to them.

On another note, I just got the FAAEAL Iris Ancestor 32 ohm and I find them rather bad, bloated, boomy bass and recessed mids that make the Yincrow X6 sound like a TOTL bud, they lasted a mere 30 seconds in my ears and were relegated to "give as a gift" status and then to "I wouldn´t do this to a friend so I´ll keep the foams and thrown them away" status, I don´t have them now but I remember the RY4S sounding much better, those for me are the true cheapo champs.

Wonder if the QC is just that bad with them being a 4 usd bud....
