Earbuds Round-Up
May 24, 2023 at 11:36 PM Post #69,961 of 75,352
So, I’ve never heard any earbuds better:

And I never expected a Full size Can openness that can compete with really top tier headphones. And kill any iem (annihilator hello!).
They boast such a crazily detailed and powerful sound! Also I never expected such an organic timbre! All the instruments (The Succession OST) are so lifelike and real!!!

One biiig question to everyone here:
Where do I find good high quality foam pads for these things? Their driver is quite large -15.4mm DLC, so I suspect the overall diameter is around 17mm
If only the bass was good, for anyone that wants even a little bass this is a hard pass sadly :/

I frankly - hear plenty of bass! Which dap do you use??? I’m using iBasso DX320 Edition X with Stock Amp 11mk2 and 4.4 Pentaconn cable from set. It’s terrific.. I’m all lost in that Soundtrack

I highly doubt it, sorry I don’t use DAPs. I use the RME ADI-2 DAC FS.

any tips recommendations?
Hiegi foam have been the best so far for me especially if you love sub-bass extension. I also feel like it tightens up the bass vs some lower quality (equal or lower density) foams.

Hello! Longtime lurker, budding noob here. Can earhooks be used with flathead earbuds? I'm hoping to pair this short cable with Yincrow RW-3000, but I'm concerned the memory wire hooks makes it more appropriate for IEMs. If not ideal, can someone recommend a better short mmcx cable? Thank you.
Should anyone be interested in the ADV short cable I linked earlier: ADV support says the memory wire hooks cannot be removed from the cable.

Off topic... I see Sho DD in your signature. I have the mid-tier Kira and Go IEMs. Are you enjoying Intime's flagship IEM?
Sho DD in fact is also mid tier. Sho is their flagship. Sho DD might be slightly pricier than Kira and Go.

However, I still love Sho DD. It makes an amazing job at preserving clarity while providing quite skull rattling bass. Love it for its unique signature sound and the extremely lightweight design. The background is pretty clean too.

Thank You a lot! Can you advise on other brands? I want to be able to compare
WoodyLuvr recommends the FIIO Sponge Covers (Bass-Enhancing) foams, I ordered some so I will let you know how those fair but those and the hiegi are the best options for those wanting the best bass from any earbud!

Your buds are an example to us all! Great Job on these.

It's sad, that driver is the most capable of producing deep bass of all the bud drivers I've tested, but that tuning isn't its best.

Wow, have you opened them up and seen the driver?? Any pics??
