My latest diy project. Have had some days burning them in and just general listening. Very happy with the result. My feeling is that the sound did improve, tighter bass, better resolution and so on. Disclaimer: since i built them myself i may just be bias and hearing things i want to.
Earbud: White Vido, J-cable.
Cable: Oyaide coaxial 102SSC
Connector: Amphenol goldplated straight plug.
Splitter: Eidolic E-SX4
Solder: Cardas Quad Eutectic
Build: Quite straight forward process. Soldered the plug first. The connectors big lugs made it simple. Spitted the cable down to a resonable lenght for both ears. To make the splitter stay put i used transparent silicone.
Removed the drivers with grill for each channel. I was able to do this with my fingers. Fried the left channel on my first attemt so caution is needed when soldering / desoldering. Had a donor Vido just in case that happened so i was able to complete the build. Result as pictured. Added donuts from Hiegi.
Cost: Estimated 50-55$ in total.
Pros: i now own a unique vido that do sound really good to my ears.
Cons: the cable is a little stiffer than i would like and its microphonic wich is a bummer. But i can live with that.
