Earbuds Round-Up

where to buy different thickness of foam?:astonished:

My favorites are the Trig Rain ones from Aliexpress. I consider them medium thick and they come in many colors (for an extra fun factor}. I have a photo somewhere in this thread but have just put it in that Poll Thread.

Good thinking! I use full foams on all my earbuds but I will give this a try. It's taken a while to get to grips with putting foams on so on to the next challenge. Thanks @assassin10000
If you want to get really technical you can try a special trick I used on my rose mojito for awhile to tame brightness and improve seal.

You need this double sided 3mm tape https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32878690067.html

You need 1 full foam cut into a flat disk (remove the back part so its just a flat circle/disk)

Then you need one more foam, either full, donut or multi hole modded.

Here's what to do:

You apply some tape around the edge of the earbud cover and remove the film to reveal both sticky sides, put the flat disk of foam over the front covering the driver area and press it down on the sticky tape on all the edge parimeter. This will secure the foam disk to the earbud.

Now you apply the final foam over the earbud. Try a full foam first, and if its too dull sounding try donut or multi hole to bring back some treble.

The result is a foam that is thicker and has more dampening to reduce treble, but isn't too bulky on the sides or back so as to cause discomfort or a bad fit.

Any tips for getting more bass from the Smabat ST-10? Having bought too many earbuds the Yincrow X6 and Fengru DIY EMX500 get used the most. Having read a few reviews of the ST-10 I thought they would suit my taste. Ran them in for 20hrs and tried them this morning - only managed 15mins before going back to the X6 as they felt too bright, not enough fullness. Will have a look in the mirror later to see if I'm not putting them in fully as pushing them in a little with my fingers makes them sound fantastic. They are being driven by an iBasso DX220 with EQ turned off.
get good cable with extra bass notes or the one which underlines the bass more)
