    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Joining in on the 5K-Club. :slight_smile: Received my tracking number yesterday. Hopefully shipments don't get too delayed. I still have my 2-year old ES100 in the meantime, at least. Qudelix seems to be really doing a great job so far. One of the few companies I feel like I could trust.

    Review by 'CharlesRievone' on item 'KB Ear F1'

    I'm late to the party with the KB Ear F1, so I'm just gonna go ahead and dive right in. Info about other stuff like specs and package inclusions should be available on other reviews posted by other members of Head-Fi. The Good: - Lightweight driver housing. Very unique design, too, and comes...

    Hopping on! :D I have the Blur Bimajyo 300 Ohms, it's one of the second generation of the Blur line-up as far as I know. It's my reference for neutralness among my earbuds.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I didn't give them enough ear-time when I acquired them last year, as I sent my unit for a "local review tour" in my country along with other earbuds. They had an "ok" sound when I listened to them initially, then sent them for the tour after a few days. Now that I had them, I'd say I missed...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    That post was shared directly from Abnormal Labs' facebook page, so it's definitely not a leak. :) They actually already did a local (Indonesia) pre-sale a few weeks ago. I also did post my impressions about them on EA if you want to check them out.

    Yeah cables on the original/first batch of MX760 Graphenes do oxidize. Doesn't look that obvious, but they do.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Ah yeah, definitely just a sidegrade between both in terms of SQ. You can't go wrong with getting either of them. But if you don't like oxidizing cables though, then get the Pandas over the NicePK2. :)

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Only wanted to pass an info I've read/heard, much like a lot of discussions here. No offense meant whatsoever. I did also state that I've never really tried them as a disclaimer so any reader can take it as it is. And yes, I like the DQSM Panda PK2S more than the NiceHCK PK2. They're one of my...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've never tried any of the two (SL2 and Seahf f32t), but I've just read an impression on the SL2 that it somehow has a midcentric signature and very narrow soundstage. As for Seahf 32, most of the people I know who loved it use those buds for rock/metal. I guess this will be redundant since...

    Here's a cheaper option, RY4S: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RY4S-original-in-ear-Earphone-15mm-music-quality-sound-HIFI-Earphone-MX500-style-earphone-3-5mm/32797581820.html Basically the same units as those from Hangrui, for half the price. Been using it as my "commute" buds for months now...

    No worries man :) Just also letting everyone know that we also have a running "ranking" of most recommended earbuds as of Oct 2017 over at Earbuds Anonymous fb group. Budget buds are still also expected to be at the top due to popularity.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    For the record, I never said that PK2S is the best DIY PK2. Just in case I get quoted on that statement hehe. But it is my favorite PK/Yuin shelled budget earbuds at the moment.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Bass: PK2S=EPK2>EPK1 Mids: PK2S=EPK2=EPK1 Treble: EPK1>PK2S=EPK2 So at least on my ears, EPK2 and PK2S have a very similar signature. EPK2 would be "louder" since it's easier to drive than the PK2S (due to resistance/sensitivity differences), but on the same volume level, they produce similar...

    EMX500 would be wider in stage while the Qian39 has a forward mid section. Cant go wrong in getting both to be honest, as they have different signatures.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I created that poll last March 2017, back when not a lot of people have owned the EMX500 and Vido and all of the new good budget buds that we have now. I will be locking that thread when the month ends and will create a new one for October 2017 and will do a monthly poll onwards :)

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Totally a good point. There is however a noticeable difference when listening to both Monk+ and EMX500. So yeah. It's not an accurate test procedure but it works. Also might be worth nothing that Hangrui store lists EMX500 and RY4S "lookalikes" as different variants of the same item...
