Start of RikuBuds

DIY

During early 2022 I started making DIY earbuds from scratch while before that I was known as a modder in the Audiophile world that modified pre-existing audio gear for years. And after a lot of R&D with different drivers, the birth of RikuBuds happened with Generation 1 models.

RikuBuds Sound

House Tuning

What you can expect from most, if not all of my buds is that they will have bass texture, soundstage, and natural timbre. My so-called “house tuning”.

My lineup is divided into 7 “classes”, them being Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Caster, Lancer, Rider, and Saber. These different classes have their own tonality/target they are aiming for. Thus making it easier for you to pick the bud you want to buy if you know what you want.
