Relieving to hear that there are over-ear hook options and are comfortable! Was your second link suppose to direct to a different webpage for the over-ear hooks? The Bose Stay Here tips are the most comfortable cushion I've tried so far. Excited to find others though! Normally I deliberate on a purchasing decision for far too long. But because I don't currently have a desirable pair of earbuds, I'm asking you Head-Fi pro's to expidite the process!
Alright. Re-reading the RW2000's specifications, it's only 16 Ohms, which means they can be driven fully from the 3.5mm motherboard headphone output, correct? For the hell of it, if you were to recommend a bang-for-your-buck amp/dac to accompany the RW2000, what would it be? And would the silicon wing tips in your first link fit the RW-2000s?
Hey RikudouGoku! Glad to also hear from you! Thank you for the electrical education. Why do you strongly recommend using at least the Apple dongle over the motherboard output? Is it that the dongle (or a amp/dac) provides less resistance (or more current) to the transducer?
And by Apple dongle, are you referring to image below of Apple's 3.5mm to USB-C? Beyond that, is there a bang-for-your-buck amp/dac you'd recommend?
I briefly dipped my toes into non-mainstream earbuds options more than a decade ago and I briefly had a pair of Yuin PK3s (?). I assume that's a PK-styled shell and don't remember it sitting snugly in my ear with just the provided foam cushions. New testing is needed it seems!
Forgive my ignorance, are higher Ohm earbuds exclusive with higher pricing due to the increased resolution and composure at higher volume levels? The Yincrow RW-2000s start at $129 but only have 16 Ohms/impedance.
To all: Has anyone tested the Venture Electronics Asura 3.0FE or the Venture Electronics Zen 2.0? Are either of them neutral and balanced without high highs or mids? Capable of playing anything well? The Ohms aren't listed for the Asura 3.0FE's but the Zen 2.0 have a high impedance of 320 Ohms so require a amp. Within both links, Venture Electronics offers a new amp/dac called the Megatron for a pre-order combo price of an additional $50. Any have thoughts on it?
Any insight into how the either of the above VE's compare against the Yincrow RW-2000?
And lastly, much cheaper options with high acclaim I keep running into are the VE Monk Plus, FAAEAL options and a couple others. When comparing these and other commonly mentioned cheaper options to the above more expensive Yincrow RW-2000s, VE Asura 3.0FE and VE Zen 2.0, are the differences in audio quality night and day? If you coupled an appropriate amp/dac with one of the renowned cheaper earbud options, would that additional amplification push the cheaper earbuds to a similar level of quality as one of the above more expensive earbud options?
A friend of mine has the Megatron. He sold it away after a day haha, reporting that it hisses with low impedance/high sensitivity IEMs/buds, and also he needs to use them at volume 1/100 for some IEMs.
I think the Megatron is meant for higher impedance/low sensitivity gear, so kind of a niche source.
