haha, what is it you dont get?

How does that ba not get completely drowned out by the DD?

That is actually a good question. I thought that was gonna be a problem like with KZs MST drivers before I tried, so I put it so it would be angled to fire directly into my ear canals.

What ended up happening is that the BA is VERY noticeable, to the point I struggled to dampen it and had to glue a knowles damper on it lol. :joy:
(the opposite of KZs problem lol.)

BA in a headphone is wild
also 3 drivers in a headphone think there’s only 1 other I’ve even heard of
this is a madlad creation for sure

haha yeah, not the first though. Final Audio is, afaik.


yup, the 1More H1707 is the only tribrid afaik.

Basically the same setup as the one I have, except they got a piezo instead of a BA.

Gonna stuff another smaller, 6mm DD in it, making it the first afaik Quadbrid hp. :joy:
and if that turns out well, I might try to put in a piezo driver, pentabrid hp. :rofl:

The Crosszone headphones have anywhere from 2 to 3 dynamic drivers and wave guides.


damn.
Although thats the same driver type. So its a multi-driver, but not a hybrid.

That just seems like sweet marketing terms for just shell tuning.

Yep to both. Definitely not a hybrid headphone. Wave guides are essentially what you stated.

You should tell us what music you typically listen to, or general preferences for bass/mids/treble so that we can help you narrow down your search. The LBBS is still fantastic, but like @Rikudou_Goku said, he’s kind of been blowing up the market as a one-man-earbud-machine and offers something for just about every taste (some of which may suit you better than the LBBS).

Hi thanks, i listen to mostly music and songs in my local language Tamil in India, mostly melodies,

Some beat songs like this which are busy

Violin covers bgms like this

I also watch songs that I hear in shows and get stuck in my head, mostly kdrama or jdrama on Netflix

Also bit of kpop

That’s mostly my range interns of music.

Also I watch Netflix a lot on mobile like binge watch and mostly depend on the earphones for that.

That would be my most usecase.

I like neutral signature I’m not a bass head, i like bigger and soundstage with a bit of depth i know depth of soundstage is pretty less in earbuds.

I also mostly use it on my mobile with no dac, use wavelet for EQ.

Also a lot in game pc and laptop use peace EQ there, i also game a bit mostly PvP fps like overwatch.

That’s my needs, thanks again for helping me out.

How to get those :grinning:

pm me. :wink:

If you any doubts @Rikudou_Goku is very communicative and ships quick. I’ve order a handful of the buds and all have been a very pleasant experience. Might take a bit of time to get them through the mail but, smooth transactions all the way.
