Can you compare your 600ohm wooden earbuds with Yinman 600In the meantime, I just got my Christmas Present from @FranQL today in the mail. I haven't had a ton of time on them yet (obviously) but I have to say that now having the full set of four buds, I need nothing else in the way of earbuds. These cover all the different sounds I might want to have, and whatever they don't the others I have fill those cracks.
These are simply high-end buds in every way. Along with his master class tuning, he has found the perfect combination of good quality drivers with the perfect shell for each model and the goal that was sought after. So, the list of unique and TOTL buds (though not exhaustive of all of his fantastic collection) are:
If you are lucky enough to get your hands on any of these, you can trust me, for what their intention was in the sound, there are NO better (qualifier = that I have heard). There may/may not be better, but I am not willing to pay the exorbitant amount of money to experiment. In the simplest terms; these are end game buds, all four (IMHO).
- Aquila
- Caelum
- Draco
- Blue Moon (Hydra was the original fourth, but was discontinued due to Fran not being completely satisfied with them)
Here are some photos of the latest (apologies for not being as good as others on here), Blue Moon and Draco:

Have you bought from the CK Lewis store recently?
A few months back, I ordered 2 earbuds from them, they gave me a fake tracking to somewhere in Russia (LOL not where I live), and marked the thing as delivered. So I PMed them to ask what was going on. I told them I was willing to continue the order if they had just informed me of a delay, no need to resort to fake trackers. And I asked for a new tracking or update. But they ignored me, with zero replies, very disappointed as I had previously bought from them with no issues.
Anyway, I took screen shots of the fake tracking etc and sent it to Aliexpress CS and thankfully they sided with me and refunded my purchases. The earbuds never arrived too. Since then, have been quite hesitant to buy anything from them.

600ohm beryllium earbuds with a bespoke cable. I couldn't get Yinmans, so I opted for this instead. Despite its high resistance and low sensitivity, it sounds good even when connected directly to a phone. Granted, you have to crank the volume all the way up. When amplified sound quality improves in every category. The soundstage is great, the bass is deep, smooth yet detailed treble, timbre and separation are both really good.
I hope that I don't get shamed here with my music choices lol.
This song describes this hobby in the nutshell wwwwww.
Too bad I couldn't give it a proper listen right now because my tinnitus is flaring up.
I also gifted one to my friend, and this is what she said.
" it sounds so smooth?
Somehow even the sharp noises doesn't sound sharp???
Does it make sense?
Or I'm gaslighting myself?
It's so detailed.
It's what i've noticed immediately.
Like after listening to this earbuds I really noticed how other earbuds sound different.
Its really good.
I'm going to listen to it more.
It's really feels like I'm listening to real sounds.
Like it's really smooth.
The bass is tickling my ears haha.
It's very crunchy sounding too.
What the heck after listening to this song I felt light headed I feel so overwhelmed just by listening to the first few seconds of this song.
Like there's so many things going on I was really shocked by the intro hahahaha. "
I couldn't resist laughing the whole time while she's reacting to them wwwwww.

Nice build, I use the same shell too. I want to add to what your friend said that the bass (which is ok) is not the star of the show (an expression borrowed from most reviews)

Slr, I was out hanging with friends; it's a DIY earbud, not a branded one, and if you're asking what I'm naming it, I'm still undecided lol.
I just really appreciate how much she liked them. Seeing her reaction is so cute. >w<
With the help of one of the best DIYers in here, no wonder they turned out very nice. I bet they sounded really good too. I hope we can be friends too. Ow<My two new builds: MX500 with 300 Ohm blue sapphire PET on the left (made with the help of my friend @jeejack

How surprising and great it is to see so many users dedicated to DIY, it is the right path to follow!!!! Isn't it satisfying to hear something you've made yourself and it sounds really good????
Happy Holidays to all!!!!

Exactly what we (DIY Workroom) set out to do two years ago, to bring others on the DIY path
Merry Christmas!

I started doing modding when I was a kid with very cheap earbuds and earphones I could get my hands on at the nearby store. Play with them a bit and adjust them until I get a satisfactory result or like most of the time break them lol. So it's very nice seeing guides and forums about DIY-ing and modding flourishing because I didn't have these resources back then. I've started reading here and other websites since 2017. I'm just kind of shy butting in because I'm an introvert haha, but it's very fun to just lurk around and read. Even though I've been doing modding for a very long time, I'm still new to DIY and aren't that confident with my skills
. so every help I can get is greatly appreciated.Anyways~ have a very happy and merry Christmas ya'll!

Wasn't clear to me that you made it yourself, excellency.
Yes, I really enjoy this hobby! More and more with each new created earbud... Thanks to all of you beautiful people here on this thread
I've started this as a simple rewiring of the old Nokia and Sony Ericson shells, and now I dive into this different driver "tasting". For example, this was my first DP100 shell and I found them very hard to open once they are closed, so I do only do basic tuning with horseshoe foam and not much experiments. Luckily, I manage to get very balanced, natural timbre, so I'm really satisfied with the sound.
