It looks nicer than the original set now IMO.

I am looking forward to seeing your repaint.

I bought the Aria because of the reports of paint chipping on the Starfield, and have been very happy with them.

Guys I am done with the painting process of my Starfields and this is actually my first time spraying an IEM like this. I must say it will take some time for me to get used to the Starfields looking like this but at least it’s not going to get rust without the paint back then.

Preferred the ghetto look tbh.

The tips I am using for my Starfields would be the Final E Types but with a different color and that would be the one with the Pink stem, since there were no available white tips for me to get back then.

Tbh I am having 2nd thoughts, like I could have gotten a Chrome color Blue instead. Also when this one had no coat of paint, there is an issue of rust on the IEM, and I don’t want to see rust, especially on my Starfields.

Then maybe a clear matt lacquer = Rust free ghetto for life :+1:

Or copper color, so you go full steam-punk style :metal:

At the end of the day, our preference don’t matter: what is important is YOUR liking of it.

How did you ensure vents weren’t blocked by paint?

I didn’t blocked the vents with anything except for the nozzle, apparently it didn’t affected the sounds that I am hearing from my Starfields after the new coat of paint. Because that was one of my main concerns before painting this.

Oooohh, that’s a good idea, I mean it does look like a Steampunk piece with my Starfield’s original paint remove. Maybe if this coat of paint somehow breaks again, then I would probably do that.

Exactly, your starfield without Paint looked so much steampunk! I didn’t tell you at the time because I couldn’t remember the word :brain:

Haha oh dear… 6 devices at once… they will surely sound better after a dedicated burn-in device is done with them!

Just buy one of these…

That doesn’t have a compartment for lighter fluid. It connects 6 devices, but does it really burn them in?

You need a phone or a pc connected for it though. But otherwise it can do the same thing lol.

I think its burning something else :smirk:

I have a thing like this one. I bought it a long time ago.I once tried to Plug it on my A/V amp. I heard the sound becoming utter crap just by plugging a second headset into the thing.

Yeah, the quality takes a hit. But ā€œburn inā€ doesnt care about that lol.
