These remind me of my first DIY speakers from a few years back (pre-ASR). After a few failed attempts at building a transmission line cabinet, I got fed up and just threw my Tang Band W8-1772 full-range drivers in a pair of car subwoofer tubes. The on-axis listening experience was shockingly...

I had an issue a while back where my left earbud lost most of its output power (particularly bass). I thought it might have been earwax clogging the filter, but even after removing it the volume issue persists. I don't think you blew the drivers without a powerful amp, but there seems to be...

Slightly less than 25%, but yes. I wouldn't worry about it unless you find yourself needing more volume. And even then a 4V input would only net you an additional ~7db of headroom

Is this supposed to say 3dB mid-bass boost? Great review overall!

My issue was with the potentiometer and its lack of low-level granularity. Glad it's working well for you though!

Yeah, it happened in my left iem and I already have pretty massive hearing loss in my left ear, so idk how long it took for me to notice the issue. But this was definitely after a few hundred hours of use.

You're almost certainly correct, and I think I have a pair of spare filters from when I bought the reds. I'm on a trip right now, so I'll have to check when I get home. My initial impression is that the zero 2 has better deep base but slightly recessed high mids. The reds have an overall more...

My left Zero-red recently lost like 15-20dB of output. Just ordered a 7hz zero 2 as an interim replacement

Ooof. Give me a Wiim+Topping DAC over this any day

Hi Mark. You might benefit from including an estimate for how long this survey takes. I wasn't anticipating having to take time to actively listen to things.

Spoiler: It uses the same crappy cassette mechanism as any other modern cassette.

The Zeros' fit isn't ideal, but it's miles ahead of the JD7.

Nahh, Truthear Zero: Red has a better tonality imo and a much better fit

I included an AliExpress link above.

Yeah. To be honest I just checked the markings on the battery and googled PN 805080. I found a whole mess of 8mmx50mmx80mm 4000mAh 3.7V batteries, so I think its a semi-standard battery type.

Looks like you can get close to a drop-in replacement from amazon or aliexpress.

I agree that the elacs are a good option. You will need an amp, but something as simple as an Aiyima A07 (or whatever the current recommended budget amp is) would be fine. I think the genelecs you listed probably won't get loud/deep enough.

Thanks. I just spent a little while browsing FB marketplace to see if anything stood out in your area. Nothing yet unfortunately

Where in NY? I'd have to guess you're not looking across the entire state.

For that room size I'd go with an SB-1000 Pro (or even a 3000 micro). The DSP options will be super helpful for integrating them with your speakers and judging by the size of your speakers, you don't need the additional output of a larger, ported sub.
