To those of you who have the ed-29689. How do you get enough highs? I have the two tap version (mine doesn't have half coil possibilites). 
For you who have the ed-29689, have you tried to wire it half coil to get better highs in a multi BA system?

They have same names like knowles drivers, so they also have 29689

Wow, they also have some self designed drivers too. I wonder how they sound.

  Hi all, 
 
I am on DIY IEM project and wondering what type of wire (material? AWG? coating?) to use inside the shell to solder BA and connectors / xovers? 

You can use some spare cable from earpohnes /buds/ IEM that don't work anymore, slice them gently and use the wires from inside. Usually those wires are colored green red and brown/copper and have a thin protective layer of coating to prevent shorting. So after you cut them to the right lengths make sure when you solder them to melt the thin shielding coat.
 
Another option is to buy Estron wires (good quality but expensive) or precut wires from taobao/aliexpress.

Hey guys,
I need your expertise! I've got a pair of non-detachable Vsonic vsd3 that have a connection issue at the base of the ear piece housing.
 
Making the switch from wired to detachable would be a good investment. I plan to dremmel, then epoxy in a 2 pin socket, and ideally have the connection look somewhat like the pair of modded westone 4r below.

I'm not sure what kind of options i have regarding the female sockets + cable combinations. Any recommendations?
 
Thanks so much.

Yes, handmade by myself (wooden parts and some metal parts) using some special tools and long-time wood-tinkering skills

Next mods are probably going to be done to HLSX808, VE M+, VE Asura2.
 
Actually I`m getting interested in trying to make one DD+2BA woodie - any recommendations what drivers combination to use for beginner in DD+2BA setups?

Oh my god they're beautiful! Did they sound better after the mod?
