Default Custom 3 : Am I Wearing These Right?

Hello

I've had my Custom 3 for 2 days, however, at the moment, I was less than pleased. I am getting a seal by only using the big dual flange. Not an issue per say, as they are comfortable, however :

1) Where's the soundstage? The sound is even MORE in my head then what I can remember with the Grado Sr325i.

2) They're pretty dark... Even my Sleek SA6 which I consider dark are brighter in comparison. The bass is nice, but nothing exciting, in fact, my cheap pair of AKG k414p fairs way better in the bass department, which leads me to believe that....

I must be wearing these wrongs/getting a bad seal. I tried all the available tips... Either I am doing something wrong in putting them in my ears or that's just how they sound (tiny soundstage, dark) and they're not just for me

Anyone experienced that or has any tips on how to get a better seal with the CS3?

Thanks,

-Squirsier
