I usually store my cables this way:Nice DIY cables you made there... seeing your picture reminded me I needed to find some small hook and loop cable straps to replace some my worn out straps that came with some earbuds. Located some 4 inch straps on Amazon, $7.50 for 50 straps.
Those are really cool collection! Any cable recommendations? I haven't bought anything past 30 USD I'm interested getting something more fancyI usually store my cables this way:
I recommend plastic or leather alternative over Velcro loops honestly.
I spy velco loops there... LOL. Leather / pleather straps with snaps are nice but are bulkier than the thin velco straps. I like the convenience of the thin velco straps.I usually store my cables this way:

OH! I totally forgot about the black ones... I have the silver ones as well.
Good call. I may also have to get a black set before they go away.I don't know much about the ST20P at all, other than what others on here have said about them (I even skipped the ST20P drivers for the M4). It was way too boosted in the presence region for my ears. But is seems as though you are immune to that shouty type tuning. But, I CAN tell you that neither the RW2000 nor the RW3000 have the amount of ear gain that the ST20P have. I also can't comment on the M5 (in my case the M5 Golden), because Smabat doesn't seem to want to send mine... It was ordered on the 6th, and here it is 8 days later, and it is still showing "unprocessed".... LOL
Yes, those are velco loops, lol but this is an old photo in my phone and I don't use velcro anymore they just kept sticking to eaching other.
Yeah, I thought so too when they asked me to pick the ones I wanted....Yeah! I’m glad they didn’t sell…phew
What!?! That is amazing!! Is it easy to take in and out?!
I just use the handy dandy case the buds come in... For all those extra cables, I just use one of those Pelican cases to store them (I hate the Velcro type straps because they get in my way while wearing the cable and are otherwise a pain to put on/take off each time I would use it). For me this is ideal because some of the cheaper made cables can get rust spots due to impurities introduced in manufacturing, which sometimes actually causes some L/R balance issues (i.e. my Chaconne), and those Pelican cases are water proof.
Oh, these are the cables that I don't use anymore, lol. The only aftermarket cable I want to recommend is the Hakugei Healer but it's a bit bulky or else you will have to go with Effect Audio's 8W wires. (DIY is the way to go
, because you can buy yourself much better plugs)Besides the recc's already given, I would also recommend the PAC earbuds from Penon. They're $50, but can be gotten as a free gift if buying select earphone cables. You could buy this $34.00 cable and get the PAC earbuds for free. You have to register and be signed in at Penon, add the cable and PAC buds to the shopping cart. The PAC buds will show up as $0 in the shopping cart. Nice deal for some nice sounding bassy buds.
Yeah, I saw your DIY cable thread! Amazing stuff! I haven't thought about making my own cables, but I'm considering it. The only cables I made were extension cords and plugs in HS lol.Oh, these are the cables that I don't use anymore, lol.

Looks comfy lol. I usually just wear my cables like a J-cable whenever I go out. I was thinking of getting myself one of those earphone holders and neck straps like Zeos use.It's a really good thing that you decided not to get rid of them then, huh?
In the meantime, isn't it really great when your work supports an audiophile's habit by buying specialty work shirts (especially designed for portable audio)?!
I no longer work here, but it was my last job for some many years or so.
Actually no, lol. I find these Smabat to be very Genre specific and also I am able to tame the harshness a bit with some cables but it is still boosted too much. They sound good for some music genres such as the two clips I post but not suitable for others. And that's why I have only been listening to the same kind of music the last few weeks, lol.
Lol did you make your purchase on their website? okay i guess the DB1 should be even less boosted compared to the RW2000/3000 then.
Actually I don't know as I have only heard these Smabats and quite a few old Sennheiser and Sony buds literally melted inside my drawers. But out of the sets (modules) I own I prefer the signature of the ST10s and ST20p. And since I don't use foams I think the perceived treble and bass should be less than people that use foams due to the loose fit but the treble is unfiltered. It's a difficult decision for me TBH.Yes, I believe the M2s Pro with the SO driver or 32ohm Bio driver has more resolution than the ST10S, but not the RW3000.
Sorry, I don't own, nor have ever heard the DB1 to compare.
Are you looking for actual treble tuning, or are you looking for a set that has a boosted ear gain that might give perceived treble? If a boosted ear gain doesn't bother you, but you want lots of sub bass, you might try and get a hold of a set of Rose Technics Maria II. It is a dual DD earbud, and has the biggest staging out there, but for me, it is VERY niche because of that boosted ear gain. They have now been discontinued though, so might be a bit harder to get a set. There were two different diameters for different ear sizes sold (though both had the exact same size driver inside). The 15mm and 16mm.
I have leather snap straps as well as the hook and loop straps and the minimal noise from those thin straps don't bug me at all. I'm glad you found something you like though.
I'm also interested getting those shell but there's not much info about them not alot of people want to shell out money to get those shells lolFound some amazingly priced budget newcomers on the block!
Nicehck YDX. Went down to $11 with store coupon + coin deal!
Huayunxin RDD, around $24 before coupons. I heard many DIY'ers are using their DD drivers for their build. Not sure it'll impress, but at least got some positive reputation to look forward to, and You know Metal housing, detachable for 20 bucks. All X factors.
