I was window shopping at Funan today, saw some earphones which were in this thread so i like to update the rest abit.

I saw the Cresyn earphone at a very big shop on the 5th flr. That shop is actually selling it at $80 and $90. RL and DL(correct model?) WTF?! Its almost double the price u guys bought at sls lor. So warning, dun get "chop" by such shops.
Then i went to Challenger looking for speakers. Saw the Audio-Technica gift pack one of u was talking abt. Its selling $98 for normal shoppers and $88 for members. Not sure if its good price though... I saw 3 boxes left only.

Sell at that price is too much. Kenna tok carrot head. Whats the shop name? Cut throat price! lol.

$98 is very cheap liao lo. Let alone $88. One only cost $33, the price of a MX500.

another question for cresyn earphone.Will the ear wax easily clog up the holes and drivers like the ep630?

Cresyn have a paper filter or some sort (I dunno what is it) instead of a mesh grill. So it is unlikely ear wax can get into the sound nozzle. But it is always good to keep your ears clean and clean the earphones and the tips every 2-3 uses. Wash the tips every 1-2 times a month. This applies to all in-ears.

I didnt take note of the shop's name. Its on the level 5 next to the escalator. Its actually one big shop with many small shops and counters inside. Yah, i rem it even has a "banner" saying that mp3 player at student price. What a joke when their selling price is already so skyhigh.
(no chio gal somemore lor. )

Oh i get it already. Its that bunch of 'new concept' stores. Really cut throat prices. They probably tot it is exclusive. I can buy 2 sets with $90.

You make a trip there and ask that cutie.







To the person who pmed me but din clear his mail box:

Yes, the cheaper one is neck-chain. The other one is actually a neck strap design that is able to convert into a 0.8m Y cord. Read the thread, one of them got the neck-strap one.

Hi. Are most of these reviewed earphones use that kind of rubbery cable that doesn't get tangled easily or crooked? Dunno about you guys but I find those cheap ones are very annoying when you take out from the bag or pocket and it's all tangled or crooked.

[QUOTE=afbug1]Do you mean those twin cable; join/glue together to form one cable type? Left/right wires in individual sleeves? If so, the Sennheiser MX series, AKG K14P, ER6i and EP630 are these type. The rest are single cable type. (Left/right inside one) And the UM1 is braided.

No. I meant the material of the cable itself. Some of them are very stiff while others are soft and they 'flow' down straight instead of wavy.
For Sony usually it says 'Texture Type Cord Prevent Cord Tangle'.
Hope you understand what I am talking about

That is what i'm afraid of. I dun want to look at a 100 pages long thread. Maybe if it gets too long, can you split the replies from the review posts and unstick the replies? vB software able to do it?

Sony MDR-E888 mod

Method 1 by Head-fi's redshifter:
1. take your e888 earbuds and remove the foamies.
2. remove the rubber ring around the earbuds.
3. remove the metal grills off the drivers.
4. if there is a paper filter over the drivers, remove that too.
5. the metal drivers will be exposed. put the foamies back on.
6. enjoy!

you should be hearing lots of bass, no shrillness and all that great e888 detail and midrange.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

I prefer this:
1. take your e888 earbuds and remove the foamies.
2. remove the rubber ring around the earbuds.
3. remove the metal grills off the drivers.
4. if there is a paper filter over the drivers, remove that too.
5. I do not want the metal drivers to be exposed to dirt, so i replaced the metal grills.
6. fit the rubber ring back to hold them together.
7. put a pair of modded foamies back on.
8. enjoy!

Effect is almost the same as the first mod.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Mod the foam ear pads:
1. Use a paper hole puncher. (about 6mm diameter)
2. Punch a hole in the center of the foam pads, so you will have 2 holes instead of 1.
3. Slip the foamies onto your earphone like a regular one.
4. The 6mm hole should expose the grill/drivers.
5. Enjoy!

The exposed grill/driver should open up more treble and clarity. The modded foamies will still retain most of the bass. You can use this foamies mod for your other earphones too.
