Those are probably smoothed a ton. Wait for a 3rd party like Tyll or Rin to do measurements

You should probably RMA it if you can

It's microphonic, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker myself. Depends on how what you'll be using it for I suppose. I wouldn't recommend them for going to the gym

Yes the Modi is, and the benefits are theoretically less jitter, but it's not really a big deal.

Quote:   The Large TX100s. I'm not sure what you mean by wooly but I know with some other phones Comply's tended to kill the highs, which for some reason I didn't find to be a problem with the BA200s. I also hated the stock dual flanges, and couldn't get a seal at all. I was trying to get...

Comply tips worked best for me, isolation, comfort, and sound-wise but I know everybody is different.

Creative Aurvana Lives would work well.

I've fallen asleep on my SM64s and they didn't break. Luck of the draw I guess

I find the fit pretty good. The housing body is actually quite small compared to triple-BAs, and theres a ton of tips that fit on them. I haven't had the PFE in a while but the main difference I'd say is its treble, which is definitely sharper.

I think it has the impedance on the box somewhere, but if you ordered it recently you should have the v2

While this didn't work for the OP, I found switching to a different media player worked. With Foobar even light browsing would result in the occasional pop or click, and I could definitely make it stutter by opening up a bunch of tabs at once, but with MusicBee this doesn't happen at all.

Because the Ferrari badge on the headphones themselves cost $300

I recommend the TDK BA200 but honestly theres a ton of great options at that price point, from VSonic to Hifiman to Sony

So you're saying if I had a 10 foot long tip with perfect seal it would sound no different than a regular tip with perfect seal?
