mbwilson those black Fareal are those the pre-monk "Bug Guys" ones, with the metal plug end outer ?
That's a great idea to put a red marking at the bottom also.

Yes, those are the pre-monk Fareals. I have not had a chance to listen to them or the purple Kube other than to make sure they work and set them to burn in a bit...good that I have multiple daps I have been listening to the Kube 2.0 that arrived yesterday.

Waiting for the orange Kube that I ordered after the purple one.

It make me feel unsymmetrical. I don't like that feeling

Haha! I felt that way for a while as well, but used to it now. I do like buds that have something in the design that distinguishes left from right.

 

[chinmie]

For symmetric plastic shells, I usually chipped a bit one of the buds using art knife just enough for my fingers to feel. It's the best side identification method for me. I don't need to look at the buds, and the method really shines in the dark.

rather than permanently scarring my "children", i usually wrap a little tape on the left cable near the shell, so i can feel which one's which in the dark. that way i can just remove the tape if necessary

Battle of the "kinda blue" buds (snow lotus 1.0+ vs yincrow rw9)



Edit: Damn! ClieOS ain't wrong about the rw9's

Btw, there are no winners here between the Snow Lotus 1.0+ Commemorative and the Yincrow RW-9. What I mean is, they are both winners. Both are amazing earbuds for the price.

I'm just enjoying Coheed and Cambria with my Lotoo Paw 5000 mk2 and a pair of RY4S earbuds tonight

Audio-Technica ATH-CM2000Ti - $400.00 USD Earbud from Audio Technica, Have anyone heard of it?

It's been mentioned a few times on here:

In summary, ATH-CM2000Ti has mixed reviews from Japan, and Audio-Technica hasn't produced good buds recently. Given the price, the regulars on this thread have been reluctant to try it.

I'm still burning my SL 1.0+, how long do you think it's sufficient?

Um, at least 1 hour! Seriously, I've been enjoying them from the start in my ears.

I'm still burning my SL 1.0+, how long do you think it's sufficient?

Both my pairs have now 120 hours of proper burning, they sound better to me now in all points. They still lack a bit of subbass and punch in bass area for my taste, this is the only "black" point to me. I'm still affraid trying to open them to make a hole on the shells in bass port.
Also, the cable is extremely microphonic from the Y-splitter to the earbuds.

If you really want to burn it in, try 20-50 hours. 1 full day (24 hours) should suffice, if there's no change after 24 hours I wouldn't expect any micracles to happen after 50.

As a point of reference, which buds provide you with the subbass and punch in bass areas that you're looking for?
