https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32809743166.html

But "Time to market: 2016" is written at the SPECIFICATION of the page.

My first RikuBuds has arrived, only tested a few songs so impressions can come later. But yeah its L- shaped sound with good bass to be earbud.

My Grand Rider2 will be here end of the week or early next week.

Yeah I saw that... Welcome to Florida

i like the fit of the ff3 and em5 beter than ff5

and the closed backs which lets in less noise

ff5 was waste of money for me. i should sell them

i got em5 from third party seller and threw box out so i didnt check the authenticity number

anyone hear of any fake em5's out there? i havnt. they seem like they would be really hard to build or fake

there is none on the canada or usa amazon so im guessing they are discontinued? anyone know why?

i noticed they popped up on ali express from one seller,

 

[WoodyLuvr]

Ohh maybe I am mistaken then as I thought these were the same Yinman 2.0 but in a 150ohm instead of 600ohm variety. Will message the seller to check and will come back.

No, it looks like you could be right and I am the one mistaken, though the heading doesn't say 2.0... Do let us know?! I am curious to know the answer to this question. You might take a look at @ WoodyLuvr's timeline sheet because I think that these 150ohm Yinmans have been out for some time now (not the newer version), but I could be mistaken about this also.

Edit: Having said that, asking them is going to be (really) the only way to know, because if you look at the pictures, they are all over the place. Some are long stemmed, some short. Some have removeable cables, some are fixed. SHEESH! lol

Unfortunately, both AVCCK and AACKCK on AliExpress have not updated their pictures well which is quite common for AliExpress stores to do, LOL! It is imperative that you always message the store directly and ask for a picture of the current model/reissue that they are selling so you know exactly what you are getting.

That AVCCK store link posted by @Kenyon actually shows pictures of three (3) different 150Ω models produced by Yinman!


2016 Yinman 音曼 150

The above pictured Yinman 150Ω model, in light to medium yellowish-brown Sandalwood shell with clear rubber stems and cable slider, is the older original 2016 Yinman 音曼 150... some models came with a clear rubber cable splitter, slider, and jack while other models came with a metal cable splitter & jack and plastic cable slider.


2016 Yinman 音曼 2.0 醇净 150

While the above pictured Yinman 150Ω model, in light to dark, yellowish to reddish-brown Sandalwood shell with black rubber stems; darker insulated cabling; metal cable splitter & jack; and a clear rubber cable slider, is the slightly newer 2016 Yinman 音曼 2.0 醇净 150... both now unavailable (as you can see when you try to select them in the store; the left-hand side choice does not work).


2021 Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 Green Bull 青牛

The right-hand choice in the store is the now available to buy model in dark ebony black Sandalwood shells with long wooden stems; black OFC cable; metal cable splitter; and black plastic slider and is the 2021 Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 Green Bull 青牛 which came in two (2) impedance versions: 32Ω or 150Ω. This is currently the only available 150Ω model (that is until the metal shelled 150Ω launches/debuts here any day now... ~16 JUNE 2023). This is the very same shell used by the 2021 Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 DR09 and the 2022 Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 2.0 醇净 600 LE.



To confuse matters even further, there exists a fourth and slightly older 150Ω model the...

2019 Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 DR08

The 2019 Longyao-Yinman 龙谣音曼 DR08, which also like the Green Bull 青牛, came in two (2) impedance versions: 32Ω or 150Ω.

Yesterday I was roaming through Shopee when I found a new earbud by Lun Sheng called Aeolian Bells, it is a dual driver (1DD 1PZT), what's a pretty rare combination of drivers in earbud world, and thus has caught my attention.

Unfortunately, i couldn't find anything about them anywhere else but this site; doesn't any of you happen to know something?

I should have taken a photo of the Temperature / Humidity sensor on my porch, as I left the house at 0530 this morning - 81.5°F / 85% Humidity.

Anybody tested the new Rhino from Yincrow?

Those Rhino's look nice. I noticed the shell shape and FR graph for the Calf and Rhino are pretty similar.

Something brand new arrived today...

Spoiler

I guess Edifier earbuds might be getting a little harder to buy brand new these days. I bought these directly from the Edifier web store.
I have to say both H185 and P186 buds sound great, so I'm glad I was able to get them. Definitely some old classics. I hope Edifier jumps back in the earbud game.

just because a sound signature drops off at the sub bass doesnt mean you cant get sub bass with eq

turning up the sub bass might make everything else quiet but just counter that will more volume

most classic ear buds drop off at the sub bass, using the foams can help

also some earbuds have the bass ports in them

usually i go up with the sub bass a tad but not much as sub bass can give me headaches sometimes

perhaps the need for more bass and reduced treble is just an attempt to get a warmer sound due to the metalic sound of cd's

Good observations, but I didn't say anything about sub bass. I was just showing that there is some similarity between the Yincrow Calf and the new Rhino.
BTW, I have the Calf buds and they sound good with full foams, no need to EQ anything. Full foams help bring up the bass which tames the treble on the Calf.

ya foams always increase bass and reduce treble

rubber plugs increase bass but dont reduce treble but increase noise isolation and cord banging noise

do those calf buds have anything inside them to increase bass? if you look at the fiio ff3, ff5, and em5 classic buds they all have bass holes like most headphones do but also bass tubes added as well

but even with the bass holes and tubes i still had to up the bass in the eq if i had the foams off, for my preferences
