A few weeks ago I finished my first pair of CIEM's complete with an unsightly bubble, unwanted surface texture in a few spots, some inside cloudiness from cyanoacrylate gassing,... pretty much every classic error. On this thread a few years ago they would have been great but nowadays they're a little embarassing. Nevertheless, here they are:
Still need to polish the tops a bit more:
Bubble! Luckily it doesn't affect anything:
Made the cable too:
My main goal for this first pair was to make something that fit well and had sound coming out of them. Mission accomplished. In fact, they sound pretty good too.
While I worked out the technique of it, I didn't want to waste sets of nice BA's. I took a pair of 8mm dynamic drivers out of some
awful iem's that came free with a bluetooth device. Oddly, they sound pretty amazing now. Beginners luck maybe.
Big thanks to Shiloh, Pioutrus, etc, etc. I'm psyched to keep going.
Cheers!
