Fantastic! Do let us know how it turns out?! :)

After 2 months, I finally got the Chaconne back today, all repaired well :) It seems they re-cabled it and did a better job of having some strain relief on the cables going into the buds this time.

It was a long 2 months, but the NiceHCK DIY PK1 I bought on a whim sometime back kept me going while I was waiting for the repair. Definitely an impressive bud for the price, too bad they don't seem to sell it anymore.

So, uh, did a bit of shopping 😅 Going to start with some headphone driver swapping then try building some buds, as for the rest- we'll see!

Congrats! How do they sound?

These guys look pretty interesting, apparently they turn into in ears too, also unrelated to them but I just realized a tws with an actual EQ app might be the thing I've been looking for earbud wise

Looks a direct copy of the Smabat which was being crowdfunded until last month and is now in production...

They even use the same marketing materials... Pretty damning for Smabat to do a crowdfund that is really just them purchasing from an OEM

Yes, according to the promo materials, these should be identical TWS.

Smabat is the original developer and OEM, so give the credit to Smabat, not to Lun Sheng. Search this thread and you'll find plenty of discussion about Smabat developing M4 series and their wireless buds.

This picture is from AE "Sweet Audio Store". Picture shows "smabat Technology Labyrinth Acoustic Patent"

If I were to buy this, it would be directly from Smabat, not from some AE stores selling a rebranded Smabat product.
