I received my blur buds yesterday (blur 266 400ohm 4.4) and I am blown away by them. Ive been using them with a cayin n6ii/a02/c9 and I can't stop listening. They sound like open headphones full of detail but also very naturally tuned. Highly reced. I spoke to Master Wong and he is currently working on a mx300ohm, and I'll def be checking it out

400 ohm and 130ohm beryllium are awesome drivers. From my experience 300 ohm drivers are very hard to tune. Will have some work to do with them

I recently got the K's earphone LBBS.
I love the compact shell, sufficient bass, and natural clear mid-treble.
Can anyone tell me "how" the sound of the higher version Onmyoji is better than this LBBS?
I'm really interested in that.

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
I found a link to the solution. Thanks @uneri.

Awesome; enjoy! Yes, he is re-releasing his popular 2018 300Ω model the Beautiful Witch 美魔女. I have a custom tuned version of this model from 2018 and enjoy it very much. He is master tuner and definitely takes his time to match the drivers.

not a bad curve but looks like a more ideal presentation can be had with a simple 1k -20db low shelf. I'll pick one up if it's on aliexpress!

Yeah he definitely takes a lot of time and care. I’ve been mainly buying iems over the past few years but he’s got me back in the earbuds hobby after buying these. Total iems cost a fortune compared to total earbuds

Pardon the low effort posting, but the Zen black (although a disaster in cable stiffness and microphonics) has more body than the Fiio em5.
Can you guys tell me if the Sun Dice and Copper keep the same “full bodied” sound?
Or with more resolution comes “thinness”?

Pardon the low effort posting, but the Zen black (although a disaster in cable stiffness and microphonics) completely destroys, nukes and exterminate the Fiio em5.

That will be a "No". Not even the Copper.

If you can overlook the stiff black cables, the Zen Black is quite a gem.

Just to be 100% clear, no it’s not thin or no does not have the same full bodied sound?

Both Sun do not have the good old thick warm sound of the Zen 2.0 or Black. I'm not sure about the Zen SU though.

How are you finding the Fiio em5?

Technically apt. Very strange tuning. Bass is nohting like Yinman or Zen Black can do, not even close, but not the end of the world.
To be fair, the bass is tight, but in earbud world, we need somewhat of a boost. The strange thing is in the upper mids or treble where it sounds tiny and distant and bright at the same time.
Now I'm trying double foam + tea bag paper, it does add warmth, obviously. But the tone of some upper mids is still nasal and shouty (even if the edge is gone), and I hate this.
I need to spend more time with the earbud, I have 3 or 4 hours on it.
The earbud itself is the best looking and the cable is smooth.

Usually, more resolution/detail is easier to achieve with a brighter and thinner tonality. By boosting the treble a lot and lowering the bass, makes you perceive a lot more detail, but this is what some people call "fake details".

Do you mean that the EM5 has better bass than those 2? Or you mean those 2 outclass the EM5?

Yes I agree with the fake details theory. Which is why the Zen is the king. It's not that it has less resolution, it's just well tuned.
I meant that EM5 does NOT have better bass than Yinman and Zen (black). But it's a bit subjective because the Yinman is obviously a bit boosted, which is the case of the standard Zen too.

Just out of curiousity, I put an apple pod just after the EM5, and OMG, the apple sounded like some broken toy. I put the Fiio back and it sounded fully detailed rich warm full etc...

I already put the EM5 to sell, but I may change my mind and keep it.

I'm realizing that the more I get into the earbud world the more I get used to their magic and higher my expactations to a degree that could get dangerously unrealistic.
