www.veclan.com, i am not sure about Aliexpress, but if you are buying zen 2.0....you r probly getting free shipping from my site (unless you demand premium options like dhl).

SF Global is normally pretty decent, speed wise, as for shopee, we are looking into the possibility of having a store, or some even better.

for shopee, you do have to do a LOT of work....like shipping them and storage them in PH which....is hard for us to do imho , but there are a LOT of ways to save on shipping. and we are looking into options.

so in short, do I wanna open a shopee store, HELL YEAH, but can i? not sure lol.

Cheers

Cool. Thanks. Will check your site and shipping options, though I forgot to mention that another good thing with shopee is that they allow COD. Also, I find shipping thru post in our country is not reliable. XD

Welcome back Lee... looking forward to your upcoming metal PK earbuds... :beerchug:
Are you referring to tungsten? :thinking: Ceramic sound nice to ... no fun intended.
Seriously ... it would be really nice to try some other materials besides cheap plastic.
Wood can be good option for sure, or stab wood for a premium look & feel :L3000:

you can't cut wood with enough precision for earbuds... imho, we need vent for earbuds , and ...

well let me keep some them for our up coming youtube channel.

What I mean is not related to MX500, PK or other shells with complex shape. Simple bell or funnel-shaped buds are possible to make it out of wood.
This is a purely rough example that definitely needs to be worked on in order to improve comfort:point_down:but you have to admit that these wood patterns look beautiful :wink:

And you've probably seen the remarkable use of wood for IEM shells

nice looking earbuds, but the wood is very uneven (density wise), i say stabilized wood is ok for iems, but for earbud u might be better off with metal vents if you have to use wood as a main shell(i saw those around), ppl is a free to make whatever into earbud~ but as a business , i don't think it is easy to get a good and balanced(from left to right) sound out of wood for earbud~cuz of the venting issue (if not the body being uneven density itself)

Yup. I agree to combine wood (for simple shape) and mental (for complex shapes). Density wise, not every wood can be used for shell. Stab wood is another story.

even stab wood, it is a bad idea to cut vents on it , but metal vent is ok to a extend, just a lot of work for probly no again imho for earbud~

i will explain more in my up coming videos ~

Supple and finely made. I am very pleased to say the very least. Included was a nice little gray travel case.

This front tweeters are nice and clean 🪄 Great job, man :wink: I like how they solved these woofer openings.
They look a bit heavy ... how is the comfort?
