    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've worn it for several hours multiple days in a row with the stock cable and then switched to Fiio's LC-RC with MMCX to 2-pin adapters for a couple of days in addition to several days with it connected to Moondrop's Littlewhite and have never felt any discomfort. Considering how much trouble I...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I just received the NiceHCK WhiteSky cable to go with my DB1e today, the fit is perfect for me when using donut foams and I don't feel like I need earclips to get the best sound anymore. The shades of blue don't quite match but they're close enough that they don't stand out too much. I also...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    A few weeks ago there were some posts about people's daily drivers that I meant to make a post about but wasn't feeling well at the time. Here's my daily driver that I use when I'm out and about or working on something where I don't want to risk damaging my more expensive earbuds: This is...

    DIY Earbuds

    I'm looking for some recommendations on which drivers to go with for my first solo DIY build. I built the Artiste Nightingale by @mt877 with the QIGOM S68A driver which sounds good but the treble can be a little harsh and there is some vocal distortion if I increase the bass too much. I also...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thank you so much for those links, I don't think I would've found those posts through search. I've got a couple different shells picked out, now I just need to figure out which drivers I want. Found one through the DIY earbuds thread that I want to try but I would like to have a couple of...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I received the Yinman 600 around a week ago and I understand why it's loved so much, the bass is pretty incredible even compared to the FF3. Thankfully it doesn't suffer from vocal distortion in bass heavy tracks like the FF3 does. I haven't spent a lot of time listening to it as the DB1e has...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Don't worry about doing that, just thought if you knew off the top of your head that it would help narrow down which one I want to build next. That's a good point, are there any posts about how different parts such as adhesive foams and tuning papers affect sound? Or does it just depend mostly...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    With how much I've been travelling for doctor's appointments lately I've been on the lookout for carrying cases to protect my earbuds while travelling. Through the weird wacky wonder that is AliExpress recommendations I stumbled across this lens filter case and thought it would be perfect for...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I had been wanting to build a set for a while but the biggest hurdle was picking out the parts to use. The descriptions of how the Artiste Nightingale sounded are what pushed me to finally take the plunge and I'm glad I did. Do you have any similar comparisons for the other DIY builds you've...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I finally got all of the parts to build the Artiste Nightingale by @mt877 and though I've only listened to it for a little bit I can already tell that I like what I hear. I'm going to listen to it for a while before I give my thoughts on it but I haven't been disappointed so far, thank you so...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    After listening to the DB1E for several hours I'm starting to understand why so many people love the LBBS. While the treble can be a little harsh and overbearing with some songs for the most part it's clear, detailed, and smooth without being compromised by boosting the bass a decent amount...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've struggled a little with keeping them in place as well, I tried stacking foams the same way you did but it made the fit and sound quality worse for me. I think a big part of it is the stock cable's heatshrink is too flimsy and flexible so it doesn't hold them in place very well. I think a...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    You're right, if you zoom in on the stem there's a hole drilled next to where the red ring is on what I'm guessing is the right earbud. I don't see one on the left earbud but it's probably on the other side so both holes are pointing backward if worn cable down. Very interesting design, I wonder...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    That has one of the most unique stem designs I've seen, it looks like the plastic piece that holds the cable is possibly adjustable up and down? It would make wearing them over ear much easier which is one of my main hesitations about getting the Chaconne. I wouldn't be surprised if the sound...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Here's a link to the OpenHeart Nightingale, you might not be finding it through search since it's not called the Nightingale in the product title but it does list that name in the product description. If that link doesn't work you could try ordering the LCP version of this earbud from XinYue...
