painting them is not my specialty, but these unmarked shells I am unable to tell them apart (L and R)

I think adding a small dot of epoxy to make a small bump to the inside left ear piece near the cable inlet (major manufacturers mold it in) aid in a tactile feel so you'll know which is the left side without even looking. This is helpful in low light situations and is definitely useful for the blind to put the correct earphone into the correct ear. That would be an additive method, filing or milling out a small slot would be a subtractive method, but both would have a tactile feel.

Blur uses a small piece of clear heat shrink which works very well. Ingenious really. In the dead of the night you know which side is which.
Yep, another additive method and functional. I guess it depends on the shell and your sense of aesthetics. In the case of the earphones shown the decorative metallic strip would be obstructed, that's why the careful paint job was done(?).

No, it's painted badly, in fact everyone at home is still laughing because of how I've painted it and what I've used to paint it.

but... the sound... that's something else...

Now that you mention it I can see clumps of glitter nail polish or what ever you used. But you were still being careful to not ruin the aesthetics of the shell design. Of course the sound is always important.

I like to play with spray paint. Sometimes too much, I admit 🙃

Red colored cables look quite striking. I havent seen them again recently until now. Is there a link?

Hi all! I am back with a small update on small things:
1) Planar buds will happen, just need to finalise getting a resin printer once I have enough cash on me...those things arent cheap to setup (in total $1k for a "good" setup).; I did a good amount of research on planar dynamics and their functionality, so I could and should be able to get one setup.
2) I have a personal bud I am working on! They are called the Valar v2's, with the v1's now being done as they arent anything special. These ones I want to share with you all are something I am very proud of, and is still an on going project I have been working on for the past few months.

These are little product shots that are not official yet, but are something that will be appearing on my FB page very soon!

He puts it on the cable and it’s clear. You have to really look for it to see it, but it’s easy to feel in total darkness.

I can't find the qianyun qian69. Any other alternative? Tried yincrow x6 and it sounds just as good, but it's a bit difficult to fit in.

Can you access Spanish shopee?
If so, ask this seller https://shopee.es/fenwei9z.es about q69. He sells them in Brazilian shopee.

Update: the seller fengru.es also sells them in Brazilian shopee.
