I found it on Amazon for a reasonable price. Do you think that its safe to put that inside of your ear to have an ear mold ? im thinking seriously about it because it would be great for the earbuds

If you google "Sugru ear mold" you will get some interesting results. Maybe don't do too deep of an insertion if you're afraid of it lodging in your ears?

There are even tutorials to create your own "Mandarines Symbio" style tips with just Sugru and regular silicone tips.

Hey everyone, I purchased the Yinman 600 off Aliexpress a while ago and the package just arrived. Whilst everything looked right the buds themselves can be pushed to loud volumes off my phone easily, i'd estimate their impedance is actually lower than my rw-1000. Am I missing something or did I just get sent the wrong product. Really bummed out because I bought these for their high impedance.

I received the K's 300 Samsara today, without a retail box and just placed in a zip lock bag along with a leather cable wrap.

Seller claims that will be how these will be shipped these days.

How does it compare to RW2000 and LBBS?

If you want the huge "headphone-like" experience then it will be the K's 300 Samsara. It sounds a lot warmer and is more low end dominant than RW-2000.

The RW-2000 still wins in terms of technicality with a smooth and balanced TOTL signature. It is amazing what this super low impedance pair of earbuds can accomplish.

I own the budge k300 version (non Samsara). I like it but I'm sure Samsara is on another league due to the price gap ($130 against $16).

I've just ordered the RW-2000. The LBBS is already on its way home.

Thank you!

The Samsara is K's older tuning which is warmer and closer something like the Zen 2.0. The LBBS on the other hand should be more in-line with the newer sound of their Bell-Ti series.

RW-2000 on the other hand is the best one out of all the earbuds I recently picked up. I really like it and sincerely feel the price to performance is great. I'm also looking forward to the day I pick up the Bell-Ti 120ohms.

If it works, then great! Have you tried ear hooks for a slightly more elegant solution?

I haven't though mostly because I worry that they won't work for me or increase the diameter of the buds.

You could try some Sugru moldable glue to make them into "custom earmolds" for your earbuds.

Do they keep their shape well? Seems like a good option if they do.

That store is well known... though I have never ordered from there personally. They appear to be the real deal.

@Alex.Grimm (our resident Yinman 600 expert) would you please kindly elaborate and/or offer your opinion and expertise on this good sir.

So 90 db Peak SPL can be reached on the Yinman 600 earbuds (600 ohms @ 95 dB/mW) with only 0.4356 Volts which is doable by most all mobile devices and smartphones... and although 90dB may be loud it most likely may not be capturing all the peaks of your music correctly (depending on how dynamic the music you listen to is of course). If you listen at an average SPL of 65 to 80 dB that only leaves 10 to 25 dB of headroom to reproduce the peaks... bass/sub-bass depth and detail may also suffer considerably.

However, to reach a favorable 110 dB Peak SPL, the Yinman 600 require 4.3559 Volts / 7.26 mAmps!!! No mobile device will provide this kind of power unfortunately. If you listen at an average SPL of 65 to 80 dB with 4.3559 Volts then you have anywhere from 30 to 45 dB of headroom for your most dynamic music files and the bass will be reproduced fully with full punch.

The Yinman 600 excellent earbuds for those who like dark, driving, bass sound, but how much life and air there is in them - you don't notice any shortcomings. After that, I did not take my Willsound MK2 and Yincrow X6 out of the box for a long time.

The cheapest device that can drive them so that they sound normally is the USB DAC E1DA 9038S Gen3 2.5mm, for this you need a 2.5mm MMCX cable.
The next device in the price that can give them the sound to enjoy is the dap Hiby R5 (4.4mm, high gain);
Hiby R6Pro (4.4mm, high gain), iBasso DX160 (4.4mm, high gain)... Fiio M11/Pro, Shanling M6/Pro... Dethonray DTR-1 (3.5mm, high gain), QLS QA361 (3.5mm, high gain)... This is a large list of devices, you need a powerful dap or amp.
AMP: Fiio A5 (3.5mm, high gain)...

I'm not sure that these sources fully reveal them, but you can already enjoy the sound enough.

One person wrote that they sound even better than daps from the Onkyo system

You can get a Sugru Skin-Friendly version. It will take longer to dry than the Radians moldable earplugs to dry. I recommend covering your earbuds with the tip of rubber glove fingers to protect your earbuds.

Ahhhh... the good ole' circa 1988 ONKYO Integra A-701XD/XG Integrated DAC/Amp (18-Bit). Not surprising to hear that as the headphone output impedance is probably as high as 100 ohms (?) which would play nicely with high impedance earbuds such as the Yinman 600.

Are you guys using full or donut foams with your Yincrow X6? Mine only came with full foams so wondering how they would sound with donuts? And if they sound better with donuts if I can just order any cheap pair off eBay?

For anyone considering donuts, I recommend getting something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/OWDEN-Professional-6Pcs-Leather-Hollow/dp/B07ZFF143H

Comes with its own mini cutting board and does not require any percussive force, just twist the punch over the foam. Cuts a nice and clean hole.

Did everyone see @ClieOS most recent planar magnetic earbud build here? An extraordinary DIY earbud to say the very least. Mad DIY skills... beyond impressive.

A couple of days ago I was doing some tests with the microphones that incorporate several of my headphones, earbuds and iems. This is a secondary aspect when we are looking for a good sound but sometimes it is very useful when used from the mobile. I tested the 1MORE 1008, Nicehck B40, FiiO F9, Hifiman RE-400i, EarPods, Sennheiser momentum 2 and Meze 99 Neo, all through the lightning adapter connected to my mobile. All of them, to a greater or lesser extent, sound good, but to my surprise, the one with the best result in terms of voice quality and low noise is the B40. Considering its price is impressive. Have any of you done this test with your earbuds? In your opinion, which one offers the best microphone?
