Earbuds Round-Up
Nov 20, 2018 at 1:34 PM Post #37,758 of 75,076
I had a good afternoon, recabled 2 Sony MDR-E808+, 1 Sony Ericsson HPM-64, 1 DIY PK2 SR2 PRO 16ohm and created from scratch an earbud using EMX500 drivers (I'm calling it a HungryPanda DIY EMX500)

I really like how Woo quick described his new YIN model, because this is exactly how I feel compared to TM9 :) :

"Clarity is topnotch and high extend so well,details are better while they are not bright and maintain smoothness well.they are more engaging for sure due to better clarity,more weight of impact and better speed,bass also improved with deeper,hit harder and cleaner texture. sound stage similar to TM9"

How about sunrise dragon 2?
89$ at Penon right now

ClieOS said: "SWD2 is the old model made by Sunrise (which already change its name to Simphonio a few months ago) about 6 yrs ago. It is still a very good earbud by today's standard, but not on the same level as the ToTL SWD2+."

So it depends on what you want - Very Good or TOTL for another $200 something (or Massdrop for $200+ ship/tax if they have another drop)?

Also, Simphonio Dragon3 is coming . . .

Just wondering. Anyone ordered RY4S from Ali during 11.11? Mine still on "shipment ready for dispatch" :frowning2:
I ordered and for some reason It cannot be tracked using 17track or the Singapore post website, Aliexpress shows shipment accepted by airline, still waiting for any updates, did you try contacting them, keep me posted too.

Contact Penon and ask if they can arrange alternative shipping methods.
Yeah I talked to them but there express price is almost double the average, guess I am out of luck

Meanwhile I am waiting for those Sony E808+that you like. The will need to be recabled though. No J cable for me! Ordered two pairs in case there is a soldering accident:) If everything is successful my husband and I will each have a pair if he wants one of them.

I hope you like them, but remember - they DO need burning in, more than any others in my collection. I have bought three pairs and each one has changed over time. About 20-30 hours of normal listening was about right for me.

The 2 pairs of Sony E808+ arrived yesterday along with some supplies that my husband had bought for building buds and recabling projects. So a few hours after arrival they were both recabled. As you suggested mine have been attached to my computer for burning in since last night. They sound great! Thanks for the recommendation and thanks to @HungryPanda for the nice recabling work. I think he also likes his 808+ .

Here they are with their nice new cable. The different color wires going to each side will make it much easier to tell right from left. I could never have used these with the stock J cable!
