Earbuds Round-Up

[foniak]

If you buy 2 products from the same shop they will arrive in the same package? I've never bought more than one earbud at once and I want to buy the 2 earbuds from nicehck shop and im wondering if it will arrive on the same day or on 2 packages.

Whoa thanks! The fit is going to be a huge concern for me.. But the way yoy describes is looks like it is a price to pay for its top tier sound quality

I wonder if there are others with similar SQ but a better fit and no need to EQ? I imagine that there are, but I wouldn’t know what to suggest. EQ is essential with these IMO.

Been making my own personal buds for a bit and only recently I am starting to go fully custom, my own shell and unique tuning to drivers I use. Im really happy that everyone who got them has enjoyed them. I was planning on quitting making these if impressions were ok, but a lot say they very much enjoyed them to where Im going to continue! Because sound is a go... im making them look and feel better now

Custom hakugei connectors, and soon my own unique look for the buds which will have a resin finish, and wont impact acoustics. They were originally called Valar 1's but guess i gotta upgrade!


Here is a photo of them from a friend!

That looks like a very sensible shell. Question is, where are you going with these?

I always received them in the same package

Now that I believe I am able to discuss these things...

I plan to make this an on going project of making earbuds to my personal preference that take a shell thats 3d printable, simple yet durable, and easy to modify for your own acoustic preference (meaning changing different parts of the shell to make something more bassy, add treble or so on). While having my personal experience in working for small groups as a general artist to produce unique looking designs, I want themes with my own buds, to make them "not another mx500" because there are already people out there who do such a good job with this. Newbsounds, blur, Lumen, and many other diyers have inspired me to produce these and I just want to be able to go in and make something to be proud of, which im getting close to. Its mostly a personal project that I want to share with friends and others, but I would love to do this for as long as I can.

So far, I have what are known as Valar 1's which is essentially the prototype for my buds, but they will go to their v2 state once I get better materials for packaging and cables. I'm trying to not make a company or be someone who seeks to be the best, I dont want that, I'm just another hobbyist who wants to show others my passion for sound and buds in my own, unique artistic way.

I hope you don't follow the trend of multiplying the cost price by 10 or 20!

Please share your models, I think it's a great idea, good luck.

Good for you! I personally support people like you that desire that passion over pure greed. I look forward to seeing what you can accomplish (still can't wait for planars also BTW... ).

Haha don't worry! I want to make it affordable but not something too cheap that can be disregarded.

Don't get me wrong, your work is worth money, but quality - price is important.

Wow. I've been listening to the RY4s earbuds (braided cable) with a vintage Marantz 2230 and am completely blown away with these little buds. Just hard to believe that sound is this cheap.

Lol. Yep. Welcome to this group of audiophiles who had the same awakening. It is truly amazing, the sound you get from these cheap buds

I received my Smabat ST20 and as others have said, it's really a big and heavy piece but the sound is splendid. Using double foams, silicon cover + full foam or an earhook made the fit better for me. The sound from it is richer than say the M2Spro with super point drivers installed. The bass hits harder, better clarity, timbre and wider soundstage. Sadly, the LBBS feels obliterated in comparison.

This is my endgame earbud. I'm happy I took the bait at half the retail price. If anything sounds better than it, I'm sure I won't be able to afford it.

Great to hear! (No pun intended).

Is yours the ST20 pro or non pro version?
