Earbuds Round-Up
May 31, 2021 at 4:57 AM Post #54,541 of 75,063

Do anyone know what type of k64 is this? I have no clue about the sensitivity, all i got is this picture, thx before
It's the new/upgraded version of the K's Earphone 64 ohms earbud. Sells for around 6 USD.

Planning to purchase these buds around the middle of June. If you wanna read first impressions before buying them, maybe wait for some user feedback unless you wanna be the guy himself that gives them for us here 😝

Ks K64 (64Ξ© @ 105dB Β± 2dB)
I see, so these arent the ks64s right? Just an updated version of ordinary k64?

Edit : actually i bought these along with the ve monk plus, k64 offer bigger soundstage at the cost of less intimate mids

The one from your pic looks like the 64s. Though I'm not sure why it doesn't say so on the bag.

More impressions please on the K's
😝 Thank you

Do you have a pic of what the new drivers look like?

If only i know how to safely open these, im afraid to break the driver πŸ˜‚

Here is my quick review, i use sony zx300
K64 offer bigger soundstage, less intimate, and more impact, monk plus have lusher mids, make it more relaxed and laid back compared to k64, monk plus also have better depth, for build quality i like the k64 more, the cable on k64 have the tangle-free feel to it, remember the earpods? Yeah something like that, monk plus offer more accessories, the packaging of k64 is just plastic with that "ksearphk64" and barcode tag on it, not even a pair of foam, anyway im new so i apologize if there is something wrong with my quick review 😁

Thanks a lot! Hmmm... So the 64s sounds like a "fun" V-shape?

Now I don't think I want to buy it based on your impressions 🀣 I do have to admit that the cable looks extra fine for 6 USD. I've always had this mental image for earbuds as "midrange specialists." Generalizing too much, I know 😝 However, reading stuff like "lush(er) mids" on the MP makes me very interested πŸ˜ƒ

The Monk Plus's are interesting. They sell for around 4 USD from where I live. If only the new Monk Go's were available on Shopee 😟


By the way, nice DAP you have there 😍

-----------------------------------

Was supposed to buy a Yinman 150 but shipping took waaaaay too long over my tolerance (max. 1 week to ship product). Talked with the seller before ordering and they said they'd be able to ship it immediately. I do understand that it was on Pre-Order (15 days) but I was holding the promise of the store. In the end, I unfortunately cancelled the order.

I break the driver on my K's 300ohm. :slight_frown: BTW...It's not hard to detach the driver. But it's my fault, I tried to tune it because they sound a bit hollow and after detaching and attaching it a couple of times, the voice coil wire broke. So my white K's 300ohe is gone for good:upside_down:

One thing about transparent shells. They may look cool, but due to the very cheap plastic, they are more susceptible to resonance compared to opaque shells.
K's 300ohm has hollow sound, and they need additional tuning. I also tried 300ohm DIY N52 drivers, and it has similar problem, but it is much more
resistant to torture (I tried it on more than 10 shells, and it still works). It's mid-bass centric driver with recessed mids and roll of highs but it's fun driver for sure.
This is the final look

Haha the way u are putting it, is Yincrow X6 like the BLON BL-03 of the earbud world?
Yes, I think that's a fair comparison. I still think the default tuning of the me-80 is more iem friendly than the x6, but with the me-80 long gone, the x6 is an excellent alternative to start the earbud journey. I still still use my eq settings with the x6 though.

How is the Me80 more iem friendly?

I mean, the reason I believe the X6 is one of the most iem friendly buds, is that it actually has sub-bass. Which the ME80 doesnt have in comparison lol.

I haven't had a chance to hear the X6 but from your description I think it could rank somewhere between the OG EBX and ME80

Agreed with the x6 sub bass. In my opinion, if an iem user has never heard an earbud before, the biggest difference they will hear from the two formats is fairly consistent lower mid bloat, which can be off-putting for some iem users since this rarely occurs with iems. While the x6 doesn't have much lower mid bloat, it's still there.

Talking to @costas23 in PMs about something and he brought up something that made me wonder: are there literally any DIY earbud makers/recabling services in Europe? I don't mind yeeting pairs all the way to somewhere in South East Asia or the like (have done before) but Europe-based would be FAR more convenient, haha.

For headphones is not a problem, but I wish DIY earbud makers/recabling services exist in Europe. It probably wouldn't be cheap, that's for sure :wink:
