It change a lot but i need to find some compromise. Because getiing all instrument in the orchestra timbre right in one single driver already again natural. But find something acceptable to live with is much easier taks. It just us should choose which one better, suitable to personality. If not it is really like chasing down the rabit hole.
Very complex, like you sure want the best then u find it but also u should accept to live with not the "best" to see the happiness somehow LOL.

I've been using the K'searphone LBBS for about a week, they have a lot of tonality problems that can be improved with EQ. I don't hear these buds as very neutral at all, they are rather W shaped. (mid bass/fundamental frequencies bloat, harsh shouty mids, peaky treble). I know the sound changes a lot depending on how you wear them, and I am wearing them so they sound their best.

After EQ these earbuds sound good, the imaging was already interesting which made it nice for acoustic music.

Here is the EQ curve for the LBBS, this makes it sound like a "true neutral monitor" to my ears. Note that the area highlighted in crimson is a no guarantee zone, you will hear the high frequencies very differently due to ear canal resonances. For me, I get a resonance peak around 8k on the LBBS (the 6k stabbing peak is still real), for you it may be different. I also hear the LBBS as having essentially ripped out air frequencies, so I put a high shelf filter to compensate for that.

Hi, I was wondering if you have an export for Peace APO or PEQ values for this curve?

Can anyone here recommend some good quality thin earbud foams? I recently bought some drivers from Aliexpress that @RikudouGoku recommended on his database list (Archer 1). They sound great! The best I’ve heard of any earbuds so far. Imaging, clarity, and details are great! However, the bass is overpowering when I put on the generic foams that came with the Tingo-TG38s or Vidos, even with the donut foams as well. Without them I find them bass light. But when I put 2-ply toilet paper on top, they sound perfect! It’s literally trashy but it works for me. I plan to use them in public and would love a foam alternative, haha.

Here you go:

I've stopped using the thinner foams. The thicker foams are a slightly more dense, softer feeling foam vs the thinner more porous (and somewhat itchy) foams.


These are the thinner ones.

These are the thicker ones (identical density/foam, bottom link is just a lot more of them for a good price):

There is also the VE "ex pack" for earbuds. Select the last 'color' option for it. I've not ordered it (yet), but it has a selection. I'm not sure how their 'thick' foams compare to the above links.

Here's closeup pics of the two.

If you want to go almost no foam, there are these as well. I've never tried them as they look super itchy:
