Anybody able to offer an opinion on how the GV would compare with a UE Triple.fi 10 in terms of sound? I had a set of TF10s reshelled by InEarz, and am now interested in doing a DIY set for a wireless setup.

TF10 would be a more V shape sound than the GV setup. A thing to consider going wireless is making sure you have an output impedance of ~< 1 ohm from the wireless module. if not it will most probably skew the sound not in a good way...

I’m looking into wireless myself, are we talking completely wireless or a Bluetooth cable? I’m working with another engineer to develop a circuit board with a new 5mm chip to go completely wireless with virtually no delay. It will hit a great target market that wants these for workouts and such. The plan is to also make them capable of accepting a standard cable when the highest possible audio quality is desired. I may have missed something on here though. Has someone else been successful with complete wireless? I’m not talking the Bluetooth cable that lays along the back of the neck.

I was just thinking of an existing bluetooth cable, Westone or Shure or similar. A completely wireless CIEM would be the holy grail, but I wouldn't even begin to know how to attempt that.

well there are already made soc with complete solutions from various chip manufacturers that even include active noise canceling and what not. basically every wireless iem (even the ones with with no cable) use those beside the airpords that have their own chips.

Then you've got power/battery/charging issues to solve, but I love the idea!

I finished another pair. I'm happy with the sound, fit and look. However, as always, I lack 10-13 kHz. Maybe next time =)
Two way, two drivers.
0.68 uF cap for ED.
4.75 Ohm res for CI.
18 mm tubes. 2 mm ID, 3 mm OD.
Dampers - 5 mm for green (ED), 7 mm for red (CI).

These look just plain gorgeous!!! ;P

You have to be careful if you are putting a battery in, the IEM cannot be fully sealed as Li-on batteries require venting and cannot be placed in an air tight chassis.

Here's the latest I've made, all with dynamic drivers, no need for filters by using a fairly long acoustic tube.

very nice. where did you get those sockets? they look cool.

Hi all, I am into my first DIY IEM project using Knowles BA drivers and need to glue shell pieces together. Knowles advises that some glues are not compatible with their drivers since components of outgassing can diffuse into drivers and damage them permanently. My inquiry at Knowles which glues are recommended has led to nowhere. Anyone has a recommendation for fast curing glue that does not need UV, heat to cure?

If you remember me, I wanted to make some really complex IEMs. I designed a crossover on a PCB and it has been manufactured through PCBWay. It has to arrive this following week. All the SMD components are here and the last thing I have to receive is the stuff from Taobao (BA, Dynamic drivers, shells, silver mmcx, braided silver cables and more).
Building IEMs is very exciting and fun. I hope everything turns out well ^^

Anyone knows a cheap and easy solution to measure IEM frequency response?

AliExpress, Soundlink Shop.

Guys, the next project I would like to implement is 6BA IEM. There is still no access to Sonion, so Knowles is my choice. I have a pair of DTEC and I think I'll add HODVTEC for LF and SWFK for HF. Some manufacturers use this combination. I'll play with RC and dampers. Looking ahead I will say that I do not want to use TWFK for this setup. What do you think, will there be anything good out of this?
