Flare R2A IEMs

R2A are still my favorite IEMs. The soundstage, bass, timbre, naturalness, positioning, realism, smoothness, delicate treble - these thing were growing on me since beginning. This is exactly the type of audio equipment that does not make you say "WOW" on the first try, but is steadily growing over time. The build quality of cable -> shell is not perfect though and needs some mods to support the cable.

I ended up pulling it apart... after I removed the whole cable. I desoldered the drivers and put my own cable in, with microphone and buttons for Android. :) No significant change in sound quality with a heck of a lot more useful features.

Gently open the aluminium split with a couple of pliers. You can put it again whenever you want. Without the splitter you loose the L/R indication, you have to put a mark in one earbud.
