Earbuds Round-Up
Jul 7, 2023 at 2:14 PM Post #70,621 of 75,711
I'm not a purist of buds, I always use what I feel like most in each situation, although buds are usually my preferred way of listening. But everything has its moment.
He he. I know. I'm having some fun with you on the "buds" thread. They look great by the way! Enjoy.

Bummer! I’m sure it will sort itself out but the wait and worry I def commiserate with.

I bought mine from AVCCK store.
Same store. But finally, I got my Yinman 600ohm. 😁😁

Undortunately😓😓, once i hook up with Mojo2 then I experience the crack sound when it goes to heavy bass and high pitch music note. Only on left side though
.
Does anyone experience this issue? or anyway to solve it?

Hope there is a way for replacement.

Has anyone got both the Yincrow RW-3000 and Calf by any chance?

How similar are they in terms of tonality within the Yincrow line-up?

My ears are really finicky when it comes to earbud fit so I'm looking at getting the Calf in the short term to gauge the form factor and Yincrow house sound with a view to then picking up the RW-3000 when they're next on sale...

The calf is smaller than the rw3000. You'd be better off trying a rw1000 bass or rw2000 fit wise.

The tonality between the Calf and RW-3000 are very different. The Calf does have nice bass, but is upper mids / lower treble focused. They aren’t ‘female poison’ tuned. To tame the them you should use full medium or high density foams depending on the sound signature you like.

The RW-3000 is a ‘smooth operator’ so to speak. Good extension at both ends, but not in your face. Excellent sound stage. You pay more for this set of buds, but it’s understandable because they have excellent tuning.

When I get home I can measure the diameter of the buds compared to mx500 shell.

Sorry to hear that. Does it only happen on the Mojo 2? Or on other sources too?

Maybe message the seller to feedback and see if they can help.

@RainyDog here's a chart of the diameters of some buds I have. The buds were measured without the foams.

Yincrow X6 (MX500 shell) - 16.80mmYincrow RW-3000 - 16.88mmYincrow RW-2000 - 16.88mmFiiO FF3 - 16.50mm
FiiO FF5 - 16.50mmYincrow Calf - 16.32mmYincrow Rhino - 16.32mmShozy BK (PK shell) - 16.10mm

The RW-3000 and RW-2000 are nearly .1mm larger than the typical MX500. The FiiO FF3 and FF5 slightly smaller than the MX500. Yincrow Calf and Yincrow's latest, the Rhino are ~ .5mm smaller than the MX500 and the smallest is the Shozy BK (PK shell).

If you're interested in the Yincrow buds and want to try their smaller sized buds, I would suggest getting the Rhino instead of the Calf. If you really have problems with earbud fit and need the smallest size, definitely get the Shozy BK. They're a bit more expensive than everything listed above except the RW-3000, but they sound excellent and are top tier buds. Yuin PK1, PK2, PK3 and other PK style buds are available on AliExpress, so you can at least source some buds that are smaller and might be a better fit for your ears. The Yincrow X6 is the cheapest of the buds listed above, but they are bang for buck buds that many people like.

Hope that helps.

Latest iteration, trying a bell shape! With an offset design and two "turbo" vents
Reminds me of a scifi spaceship. I can imagine the flames thrusting out propelling the spaceship through the cosmos... BTW, nice looking design.

tubes are the best solution(see my projects), the bass will be excellent, however, the mids will be very strongly forced (especially the peak at 3kHz). I believe that you will succeed :wink:

Contacted the seller, they said “burn” the buds for a while…. 😅😅😅😅

I have only Mojo2 that has enough power to drive the Yinman 600ohm. I will try to find other sources 🥲🥲

This doesn't sound like an issue that will go away with burn in. More like driver distortion or failure?

Listening to VE Zen 3.0 while doing some management of my buds, still my favorite bud. The Asura 3.0 is also great, but the extra warmth in Zen wins me over on most music.

Thinking about the new Zen SL, waiting more impressions before jumping on it.

Thanks, appreciated.

My problem is that my ears are huge though, so the bigger the better actually.

The only buds I currently I have on hand are the NiceHCK EB2S and I can pretty much get a seal with them in my outer ear canal! Problem is that they are basically supported by being wedged in which is not exactly good for comfort or stability...

I bought and sold the FiiO FF5's a few months ago and was pretty much the same with those unfortunately.

Buds are always just wedged between Tragus and Antitragus. You will never get them 'in' as you would with an IEM.

Did you try these: https://www.amazon.com/Far-End-Gear-BudLoks-Earphone/dp/B0195OPLKK

Cheers.
