Glad to see you're on the mend Sean

 

[j4100]

Yeah, good to hear things are back to normal for you Sean. For people passionate about music, hearing problems is a big worry.

Did some extended listening on my zen 2.0 for an hour yesterday and the day be at low-moderate volume...

I'm happy to say I feel fine! No more weird full ear feeling or painful hypersensitivity and the tinnitus is just forgetton background noise most days. Only a couple of testing days but for the most part I'm ok. So happy to be able to listen to music on earbuds again, such a relief. Just thought I'd share that haha.

Glad you are feeling better. I now know how it is to go through hearing difficulties as I just got through a sinus infection that plugged my ears up for about three weeks (like being underwater). Really irritating and kind of painful. First time ever I had my hearing affected by a bad cold. Ears filled with liquid that couldn’t release. Just take it easy with the volume, my ears are sensitive too. Don’t do any damage.

On Saturday evening, I assembled a set of 400Ω Graphene earbuds -

I used these 15.4mm drivers - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/15-...ance-unit-speaker-1pair-2pcs/32851048067.html
In these wooden shells - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/15-...sn-t-contain-the-front-cover/32956277065.html
And modified these 2.5mm TRRS Silver Plated Copper cables (removed the 2-pin connectors, and the ear-hook heat shrink) - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TRN...-Plated-Silver-Cable-For-TRN/32915015641.html

Nice work, they look great

I think they sound pretty good.
Using the test tracks at the Audiocheck.net link in my signature - these earbuds have response down to 20Hz (but the level is reduced, compared to 30Hz and above). The Midrange & Treble are clear and detailed.
It's possible that in a larger shell (like the MX500), these driver would have a bit more low Bass.

I'm currently enjoying a classic musicals playlist on YouTube -

Nice work, they look great

Thanks, these shells are quite comfortable in my ears, and the cable is soft & not microphonic.

Nice to see you back active on this thread @seanc6441
Let me refresh the news for you since.... you just need a Smabat ST-10 !

 

[assassin10000]

Speaking of the ST-10...

I was curious about what frequencies are the most emphasized by the ST-10 bass port. I went on youtube and used a frequency sweep test while covering/uncovering the port to try and figure it out. To my ears it sounds like it affects 30-75hz the most. It does have an effect higher up the bass range (75-250hz) but not as large of one and decreasing as you climb in frequency.

So 2 months later these willsound buds actually arrived today. Looks like customs opened my package and that’s why it took so long, probably thought I was ordering some beef rendang

Oh don't worry I've been catching up on a lot of posts, most of them thanks to this hyped earbud

 

[HungryPanda]

Well I have just had an evening of comparing Svara-L and Smabat ST-10. First conclusion is if you already have Svara-L you do not need the Smabat ST-10. The Smabat is an improved Svara-L, just sounds a bit smoother, less lively. As a Svara-L lover I would not want the Smabat. But if I didn't already possess the Svara-L the Smabat would be a nice purchase though.

Then it is a good thing you don't possess it. It is all MINE!
