Off topic on bud’s fit - I think I finally got it.
I am trying 2$ silicone ear hooks from shoppee for LBBS and they hold them in my ears like crazy.
They seem to poke me a little physically making them a bit less comfortable than just foam (especially while laying on side of my head), but I can basically bang my head around with no pseudo seal being lost. That would make earbuds much usable on the go!

Buds world opens again!

My wallet’s lose would be yours win, I think I only miss your DIY earbud (I am waiting for this “chaconne” killer) in my collection to be done. Right?

I already have the recipe done, I just need to order the drivers from taobao where I found a seller selling them in batches cheaper.

I have my next batch (Berserker, Saber and Lancer) and maybe some other models coming this week though.

I did the same. So good

They also sell the silicone rings without hooks.

And tuning foams for iems.

and mesh + tweezers

Might as well pick up more if you are ordering anyway.

noticed the ones without hooks in the side bar and added already, already have tuning foam, probably should get more metal filters just because of wet earwax

any other random accessory recs?

Shopee is kind of local so I am not sure that would work for your country + the ones that Riku sent are probably exactly the same https://shopee.pl/product/545120974/10765494191?smtt=0.575514211-1651349278.9
One note, the ones without hooks does not work at all for me (they are in fact much worse than just foams). The trick of those hooked ones is that they press against the cartilage of my ear on reaction pushing the bud back. It is therefore positively mechanically locked by shape, not by friction

The M2 pros look good and the whole diy modular side of it is interesting. How much have you played with it?

Will this method work on the Moondrop SHIRO-YUKI earbuds?

I actually havent touched the modular function on it. :joy:

The effects might be different, but yes you can change the sound by taping those vents. So play around with them if you want to.

Ha no biggie. One of the negatives I read about it is the build quality because of the diy nature of them. Did you feel they were sturdy?
