Has anyone here tried recabling the JVC/Victor earbuds? Anything to be wary of when disassembling?

@ClieOS : The "Dream of a dream" sounds promising. By the way, how about your opinion about Yincrow RW-1000 and OURART QJ21? Also, I heard there are new released chinese earbuds e.g. Bell-Blue, ZEVA Silver King 493Ohm and ZEVAXY 32Ohm, etc.
$500 for an earbud ?...

I already posted impression on both RW-1000 and QJ21 in the past, just search my older post. I have the Bell-Blue for awhile now - It has the hallmark of K's house sound - warm and rich with a sweet vocal, well tuned for mainstream music, very much a lower 1st tier, closely follow the Bell-Ti. It is however not the latest from K's anymore, as they are about to release the 'Onmyoji', which is meant to be a cheaper edition of Bell-Ti. ZEVA Silver King, for what I know, is the silver cable version of Lord.E. There is also a prototype named the 'fire lord' in development as well. The 32ohm you are referring is probably the SuperFire, now comes as either Prime edition (same tuning as original) or Pro edition (new tuning).

Thanks to FAAEAL for sending me their new Datura Pro.
For the price, it does provide a very nice detailed sound, with a wide soundstage. Bass is there, but it is easy on the ears. Mids are nice and smooth.
Overall it is a good earbud, plus I really like the storage pouch.

I've been waiting for my Datura Pro for so long, ordered in the Pre sale on October 13th, still not here
It's a bit cheaper than the earbud it's made to compete with at least but it seems you are paying the full $500 for the driver tuning and cable rather than the design.$500 for an earbud ?...

The parts probably cost $25 total. But the effort gone into the tuning is worth $475? Only people who have heard it will know

Just got in the Tingo TC400 Mx985 EMX500S this week I got the super shiney gold shells
it's supposed to be an upgrade to the TC200
Out of the box comparison to the TC200 listening to Jacob Karlzon's track Open Waters on Qobuz on my Activo CT-10
They sound is "brighter" than the TC200 and easier to drive definite emphasis on the high and upper range but you can still feel the bass. TC200 "feels" smoother
Easier to drive with a 105db sensitivity versus 95db for the TC200
Not sure which one I prefer as I'll need to burn in the TC400 a bit first but these are both great buys for the price. I saw that the Fengru Tingo TC200 is listed at $4.95 just now. Which makes it definitely a MonkPlus challenger. The TC400 is only $11.99 its a steal at these prices. Not sure about loud rock or EDM as that's not my preferred genre.
Both these seem to make a good match up for my Activo

How do you rank RW-1000 and QJ21? Are they both a same tier level?
@ClieOS did you get your hands on Rose Maria yet.
RW-1000 is about a upper 2nd tier or lower 1st tier to my ears, while QJ21 is around a mid to lower 1st tier. So overall I find QJ21 to be just a little better.
Not yet. The promised shipping date by Rose is on December 20th, so no one has received his/her Maria yet. They did however told us it should be still on schedule at this point as all the parts have arrived at the factory last week and are currently on assembly.
Also can you list few top level 1st tier earbuds, i was going to invest in headphones but i think i can also invest in buds.

Really? That’s weird because I ordered it on 11/11 and received mine a week ago. Maybe check with them? I like them, they are right up the middle and are a good all rounder.

I feel that the most balanced and all rounder is the last released Vido Colour, Black
Not the Blue or the Red..Black having less fatigue, esp useful for long commutes, and White still my fav, due to me being a bass head, as it's just fun using it at home

Foams on my Turandot. Tore a couple of donuts getting there, but I think this is the best I've ever done.
