I have a couple different set i am using. I posted a picture of the ones I am using on my Maria II a page or so back. These two are both obtainable from Aliexpress:

When I get home from work, I will try and dig up my order to send a link.

Thank you in advance
Maybe the right one is tight enough for the narrowest part ?
About the left one : do you think an earbud could fit inside covered with thin foam ?

Scrounged through my 'junk' drawer and found various old earbuds. Only 2 of them have decent sound, one from Sony and the other one is not branded but is in a pk shell. The Sony's are more mids and treble focused while the un-branded pk ones seem balanced with nice bass, mids, treble. The foams are deteriorated, so I did my test listening with no foams.

Anyway my question is, is 18mm diameter the standard size for replacement foams for most earbuds? I got a small generic pack of 18mm foams from Amazon, but they feel like they're too thick and the fit is loose. The measured earbud diameter was 16mm (both Sony and un-branded pk). Any suggestions for properly fitting replacement foams?

EDIT: Answering my own question... I found a post in this thread about getting foams from Trig Rain store at AliExpress.

I still can't drop the idea of earbuds, but for the moment I'm likely to get some iems (possibly the Beyerdynamic Soul Byrd), or the Koss KSC75, and just get on with things.

Spoiler: Off topic, but..

Everyone should have at least one pair of the Koss KSC75's.

Probably not. The idea is to put them around the bud itself (the part that fits into your concha). Both of those will do that. One is stiffer (left) and doesn't need to be stretched as much to fit, while the second one (right) is much more pliable and needs to be stretched to fit the diameter (but it does fit).

Yes, you can get both of those over foams (of course if you are careful). I have had them set up that way. Here is the link to the one on the right. The other set (left) came with these, but I have seen them on Aliexpress before.

Those look like they’ll do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion @samandhi

Not sure the voltage of the iPad outpu

Thanks! Not a bass-head, either. But I'm getting the impression that I want more than I'm likely to be able to get from earbuds.

The older iPads are mostly 1v. Likely stays true with the new ones that still have a jack. Most IEMs and Buds with do just fine with it.

@samandhi , I ordered the ear hooks you got for the Rose Maria, but they sent some crappy version of them that cannot flex at all and they are all too small to fit on the neck of the ST20.

That said, when I put my shark fins back on, the little variation from where I had them placed before has now made them better. The fit is great again. I’m going to make a ball about it.

here is the EQ I’m sticking with and I have to say these are a new benchmark for me. It’s derived for cable over ear and a tight but comfortable fit.

its not the deepest i have but it isn't lacking. i dont know how to answer this question as i dont have any meaningful way of measuring bass depth.

Thanks friend. Appreciate it

Are these the ones you ordered? If so, it would be good to know if they have changed the product, as they fit just fine on the Maria II (unless the ST20 has a much bigger neck, I would assume they should also fit those).

Glad you got them squared away to your liking! Enjoy the music friend!

On another note, I contacted Moodrop about the imbalance on my Chaconne and they told me to contact the seller I bought them from for after-sales service. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with that, but since they are located in China, I am going to have to pay a tidy sum to have them shipped, I would assume (as opposed to shipping them to the US branch of Moondrop). While I DO want them fixed, I really don't want to pay more for a situation that isn't/wasn't my responsibility to begin with (I guess I'm kinda' bull-headed in that way ). I suppose I have until July (1 year warranty) to make the decision. Plus, I hate to be without them for so long (will probably be more than 2 months gone all said and done).

I use to thought my Chaconne have a channel imbalance. Turns out I misplaced the earbuss. The ring one ia on the left while the non ring one is on the right. Weird configuration by the Moondrop

Ah, I order the wrong set. They looked similar and had a strange name, but they’re junk.

For pure home enjoyment, I want them. For outside stuff, hmmm...not so much

Will get 'em one day, though

Thanks! I have the 9th Gen i.e basic model.

Anyone has NiceHCK EB2S? How is the sound quality? Also, Does it has open back and leak sound means if I am listening something, someone can else also hear that clearly? And overall good clear sound with lots of details but not harsh? Decent bass?

Does NicehHCK EB2S leak sound from back of the earbuds or it is just design and no real hole on the back of the earphone which leaks sound? Also, how is the sound quality?
