Don't have access to a multimeter atm but just curious why do y'all need the resistance measured?

The amount of orders in queue, in addition to products being bespoke do affect processing time of an order, regardless of what the product is.

Happy to help when I can bro...
When I get my diy connectors in from lunashops i will post a diagram on how to properly hook them up.

PS I can still make people 7550 cables if they want pending the parts showing up from lunashops but the only catch is I only offer 24awg. Hahaha!!!

Any one have and rec for a budget basshead IEM that does not req amp?
 
I am going to the beach and dont feel like sand will be a friendly factor for my amp or any gear over ~$50usd
 
Anyone have a suggestion? (As I am going this weekend, I would need amazon so I can use my 2day prime shipping)

Xiaomi piston 3's? Sennheiser cx 3 ii? If anyone can think of any over-ear wire options that may be even more ideal.
 
I was going to go with Shure 215s but their not basshead enough for my taste (even when amp'd), so i returned them..

They're not basshead but they're good enough for under $12 (hopefully they're still that low): rock zircon.
The mids and treble are grainy as hell, you'll think you got sand in them before you even make it to the beach, no seriously.
but it's got enough bass slam, inaccurate as it is, to give you your bass fix....
 
Some of the newer KZ's might be good at the $10-15 from a USA retailer price point too, but the only one I know I like needs an amp to get to bumpin bass.

Not basshead at all. Plus, they don't isolate well at all, on beach would be horrific.

Good look. The name titan just sounds like it should be basshead. Bad logic i suppose :)   

I am praying to the Wizard of Hz and clicking my heels, if all else fails i may just revisit the first buds i ever bought that made me realize that bass can exist in a small in ear speaker.

Ultimate ears 350 (~$20)

The JVC XX iems almost all-bass and cheap (the old 101's steep v with peaky treble, though maybe new/higher modesl are better).
If merely bassy is ok maybe Tenore or Fidue A31s might do you, not sure how they stack up to the Shure though.


Check out the No Amp Needed list on the first page, couple  should be around that price maybe Sony XB40, Soul SL99.



Side note: Anyone check the Alpha & Delta D2 yet? Fairly cheap All the non-basshead sample reviews mentioned it being excessive... also 'sweat resistant'.
