hmmmm, this sounds familiar.


Didnt turn out so well for me lol. 24 buds and 5 more incoming and another one I havent even ranked yet.

I don't see the M2s Pro in there yet. Where is it going to end up? Can't remember if you mentioned it in your review

Ignore. Need more coffee.

With M2 Pro (no M2s Pro) you can even go further and try any 15.4mm driver and not just the ones that Smabat offers

Just go with the 8. place on the list, and you don't need to worry

I think the issue I'm having is how hard some of these are to track down. I'm not very AE-savvy, so trying to find specific K's models, even with the guides some of you have posted here, seems rather difficult.

Any pointers?

Considering how much Chi-Fi, TWS, and random IEMs I've collected throughout the years, I'm hoping I can at least do earbuds with a shred of discipline hahaha.

Famous last words. When it comes to earbuds, there's no such thing.

I think I too said this once many moons ago. Now, after 50-60 or so earbuds later, I'm writing this to you from quite a ways into the rabbit hole. What's worse is that the bottom is nowhere in sight.

Those K buds are definitely hard to find thanks to the name lol.

But here are a few:

The parallels between this and the early days of the Chi-Fi race are so similar. Guess we'll see what happens. If I start filling tackle boxes with buds, send help.

Exactly what I was looking for. You're a lifesaver!

I can give pointers on what type of tackle boxes/other boxes are best

Sorry I can't see you there. It's too dark. We are probably at the same depth, but I'm in the different "DIY parts and buds "

Oh, that's another hole entirely, one which I'd rather not venture into. I heard the rabbits are nicer there

You can bet on that. It is warm and comfy here, but also too stuffy from all these parts

Check out Awedyo Audio. Won't have all of them, but you might be able to demo some. I had a good experience buying from him. I got my K's LBBS. I was (and am still) leary of buying from Aliexpress. This forum helps tremendously though

In other news, gotta love USPS. My Earbuds Anonymous havebeen sitting in Chicago sine June 24 with no updates on Shipping. I'm in NY!

I look at it this way: just from the M2s Pro alone, there are 6 different driver and 3 different tuning disks that can be used within that shell. It'll at least get me miles ahead on learning more about the available tonalities before I go sinking more chasing various companies' house sounds.

I am very practical, although there are 6 different controllers, I look better having 6 different buds ready to use. That's why this interchangeable controller roll is not for me.

I understand the mindset. Easier to do A/B testing that way as well. One of the reasons I tend to buy cables cheap and in bulk.

Figured the M2s Pro will be a happy middle between "someone figured this tuning out for me" and "I can at least perform a little DIY" without losing myself in the process. I tend to make my first device or two something I can grow with throughout the hobby.
