Came home to a set of Rikubuds today! Super initial impressions are sooo comfy! :heart_eyes:

And of course they are tuned very well :ok_hand::+1:

Which ones, though?

The grand alter saber 2

Cable is perfect. Very light. :ok_hand:

I think for buds these are the point of diminishing returns. :muscle::+1:
At least as far as what I’ve heard from the cheaper under $20 ones from Amazon, AliExpress vs the TGX Ripples. These are very very close to the Ripples

Thank you so much Riku! :smiley:

At MSRP, sure. A secondhand Ripples? Different story

(Says to keep from crying lol)
:sob::sob::sob:

To be fair, while different styles of tuning, Grand Rider is a side grade to Serratus (for my tastes) so I feel you on that

Ah Ripples are still TOTL though. If I’m listening to a song with good dynamic range there’s something special about them like movie themes or symphonies or this

Just wish they were more comfortable honestly :smiling_face_with_tear:

Haha mate, my Ripples was shipped on 18 Nov and I still haven’t received them :smiling_face_with_tear: lots of industrial action in the UK, so chances are they are either extremely delayed or lost. I’m in touch with TGX and we’re figuring it out, but it sucks…

I went secondhand. Mine were already in the US, so it just took a couple of days (and one extra) of waiting.

It’ll be worth it though

I would do myself some Ripples now I do DIY or I would die trying.

If the latter happens - Bell Ripples is the first thing on my Post Mortem Wish List to try in hell/heaven
