Thanks.

Unless you press them really tight to your ears you have but little isolation. I bought a coffee from McDonald's this morning without taking them off

I think that's quite good. Especially when you're in closed rooms. With my IEM I can't even hear the phone ringing!

I like the Open aspect of these actually. It is a lot safer and more practical for listening on the go.

Good isolation when walking around will get you hit by a truck. We don't want that.

Practice safe listening folks! Isolate when you are safe and still.

I've custom modded my Zinos.
Now, they are perfect!

I've heated the retainer 'til it was soft with a blow-dryer, formed it to perfectly fit my head and then cooled it under cold water. The form is now fixed.

They are more narrow now, resulting in a more comfortable and stronger fit, stronger bass and better isolation.
Even if I put 'em back in the box they still keep their new form as long as the plastic stays cold.

Thank you for the best looking, best sounding and safest headphones I've ever had!
