I'm in agreement with Wayne, both the PT15 and the EB2 I find to be on the brighter side.

@TechnoidFR - you must be the first person to say that the PT15 is both warm and fun sounding on this thread. I guess we all hear differently.

Eb2 definitely has a softer tilt with some brighter mids but smoother highs and a fairly rounded low end, not warm but not as bright as the pt15 which is the definition of a neutral- bright and bass light earbud.

If you open up the port in the back you can bring the low end to the PT 15. I've done this to a couple of pairs. The PT15 in stock for was too mid high and forward for me to listen to so I took a drill to them. Ymmv....

I was looking at my Kube and Sabia orders tonight (they shipped yesterday) and I noticed that the seller has added more Sabias to the listing... so now the Pearl, Rose and Standard are available... a few of each. He also has a few of the ANN200. Not many Kubes left...only black or white.

The problem with finding them on ebay is that you have to use ebay.com... searching others like ebay.co.uk comes up empty

The Sabia listing is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Elibuds-Sa...hash=item3408fbcb3d:m:mtylfDp3hmZXM3HpFU7nsoQ

The difference is the cable. I have the Pearl and love it. Rose is on the way. When people first started recommending the Sabia they were talking about the Standard.

He explains the differences that the cables make.

The ANN200 is here : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Earbud-ANN200-Earphone-Unique-MX500-Shell-Classic-Sound/223489031746?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160811114145&meid=eb4133cb95c7439b94b13ed879b74529&pid=100667&rk=2&rkt=8&sd=223489018685&itm=223489031746&_trksid=p2045573.c100667.m2042

Just search for EarKube to find the Kubes. I hope he will offer the colors again.

Just to add to your excellent info:

I kinda want the version that's sold out! (mmcx version)

And some info about the "SMULE app":

The ann200 shell looks incredible. Love the stoney(?) finish.

They do have a funky cool tactile finish. And they sound great to boot

I'd like to do that. Just make the port bigger? How much?

I believe mine ended up being circular but a touch wide than the stock vent... Maybe about 2mm in diameter? I have two modded. One is slightly larger than the other but I also played with stuffing the chamber with different materials from foam, to cotton, to rock wool, just too see what the difference was if any. Right now one has a bit of foam I believe. Can't remember if it also has a bit of cotton. I am playing with density of the materials as well as restriction of air flow between the driver and the port. Currently I've gotten rid of the sibilant mid hump and blended the mid/low mid better. Bad and sub extend nicely without bloat. Sound stage is nice and wide. Depth is pretty good as well but not as deep as something like the Qian 69. What I do like is that the sound seems to be more in front of you... Again ymmv. Either way I went from not wanting to listen to the PT15 to getting a second pair to mod and as a back up. I have since mashed one pair up and have replaced the drivers with Vido drivers (big sound and space, but rolled off a bit at the top as per driver limitations)..

Back up set is ported, tuned, and running well.

I have another expérience and, like I said, I have not experience on earbuds. This sound, Which seems for you briggt and neutral, sound for me warm in comparison of a lot of iem. Very interesting thing.

The experience have an important part on the sound perception.

But smabat is for me neutral and lightly bright in comparison of pt15

Just received the RY4C earbuds today for the tidy sum of £2.33 shipped from China ordered on the 22nd February. Nice shells, cable is a little rubbery but absolutely fine. I'm surprised at the bass on these little things gives a good thump, mids are fine and highs are crystal clear giving good air but well controlled. Bargain of the year (I know it's early)

I just received mine (ordered mar05). Bargain of the year? You crazy? No, you're not crazy. Yup, bargain of the year. I can't believe I'm enjoying $4 buds so much. Crazy stuff!

Oh nice! I don't mind if it's not super flexible as long as it's loose braided so it won't hold too muxh memory and is good quality shielding. My K's ling cable is not soft but I still love the cable because of it's quality and the cable pictured looks even nicer.

How heavy is it? Is that an issue? I heard it may be heavier than other upgrade cables.

Thanks I might consider that and get back to you with a PM

Yesterday I just made some weight measurements here : average of 36g for this cable
This is my heavier ever cable,
I'm thinking to get another one, as I truely enjoy its sound

 

[TechnoidFR]

@Otto Motor and all smabat st10 user, I confirm that the solution of smabat is good ! You can see pin connector slightly but no problem ! Connection is good now ! I treate if connection lose with moving cable and absolutely no disconnection

Finally that was risky ( last picture )
For the moment the other pin is ok for the right but be careful...

The first sentence in the post is simply false.
Once you've turned off all audio enhancements, there is absolutely no colouration or DSP added to the audio signal in windows, which makes ASIO and WASAPI totally redundant for most end-users and consumers.

it works for me.

Oh, I'm sure it works.
I'm just saying it's a waste of time.

Do you consider RW-9 as recessed mids or V shaped?

I'm having hard time making my mind.

Guys

I'm having hard time making my mind.

In my mind, "V shaped" usually means "more recessed mids" (relative to the lows and highs). I think the RW-9's have less recessed mids, and therefore are less V-shaped, and more balanced.
