Thank you!
Ha ha, I couldn't do that, I love my earbuds but I wouldn't lose any food to see if they match or not!How to check if the Toneking shell suits you. Buy a pack of Mentos Mint Candy and put in the ear. If they don’t fall out within 60s then that’s a good sign
I for one like the fact that some earbuds have non detachable cables, that makes them so tiny and comfortable in my ears, e.g. Yincrow RW-777 or K' LBW.I find it strange that quite a number of modern TOTL earbuds still come with non detachable cables even in 2020. It's not only a potential point of failure down the line, but some of us may wanna use aftermarket balanced cables, BT dongles or even just other aftermarket cables for haptic or asthetics or even sonic upgrades. For budget sets to have non detachable cables is par for the course, but in the big scheme of things, to add a MMCX connector in for a TOTL set doesn't add too much to the price, shouldn't it?
Yeah, having the possibility to change the cable on very expensive gears is quite a given actually, especially when you see that almost any IEM comes with a detachable cable now! It makes for sure for greater lasting life, in addition to improved aesthetic or comfort.On the Fiio thread, I actually asked the rep about this. He kept harping that the non detachable cable has a modular system to switch to balanced or unbalanced options. Fair enough, but I asked him that considering this is TOTL pricing, what if the cable dies at the non detachable part near the insertion to the earbud housing (which is a potential point of failure with frequent flexing), he didn't reply. I am quite fearful to buy any IEM or earbud more than $50 with non detachable cables as I had a few midfi Westones that died on me in the past (non detachable) at the cable.
I have been lurking ISN Rambo II since they came out, but if you're finding that Datura Pro EQ'd are better all along I might skip them!Normally have 4-6 buds in my backpack. Today it's just these two:
Both of them used to be the most dramatically improved by my compensation files until the Datura Pro came along.
I think @baskingshark replied exactly to you request if you read his post carefully!I want to know how it compares to the equalized datura pro.
Ironically, buds usually needs more power than iems. Where a replaceable cable to get access to a balanced cable would be very beneficial lol.Yeah, having the possibility to change the cable on very expensive gears is quite a given actually, especially when you see that almost any IEM comes with a detachable cable now!

(I'm not talking about sound quality as I'm not a cable believer)
But it seems earbuds world is still quite far from this, probably due to the fact that the market here is still mostly in the $2 to $10 range?
Yeah you're right!Ironically, buds usually needs more power than iems. Where a replaceable cable to get access to a balanced cable would be very beneficial lol.
Why not? Only 60s test. BTW ... just be careful not to start sweating because of the menthol coat on the "shells" .Ha ha, I couldn't do that, I love my earbuds but I wouldn't lose any food to see if they match or not!
I guess I'll still have to buy the ones I'd like to see if they fit or not...
Desktop amps will definitely have good power with SE.Yeah you're right!
Though you can still have amps with good power while just single-ended.
But balanced output will always gives more power, no doubt.
Wow! This model has 1475 customer reviews on Ali. It reached great popularity in a short time. Interesting Congrats!on a separate note, I have a KBear Stellar w/ mic inbound. I'll review it when I get it and of course measure and build compensation files for it, if needed.
one factor for that is probably because kbear is known for their iems and also some of their cables. So I guess that a lot of those orders come from people adding the bud along with the rest of the orders or that it is simply due to kbear´s reputation for those other stuff they make.Wow!

Yeah, I don't know where this model came from. It's like it appeared overnight for me. The mic version is the new one, apparently the non-mic version has been around a bit longer.Wow! This model has 1475 customer reviews on Ali. It reached great popularity in a short time. Interesting Congrats!
Yup. We share the same opinion.one factor for that is probably because kbear is known for their iems and also some of their cables.
