Those clear on clears look pretty svelt.

I went with black outties + Red right and blue left innies. They definitely get attention.

Guys has anyone else encountered a few problems with tempreature and fit? It's getting really cold here, and in the mornings I struggle to get the right ear in (the one that fits well usually) its so tight, that my ear is really sore after getting them in, if I manage that is. Apart from putting them in before I get cold do you suggest something to try and stop this? What is a good way of warming your inner ear haha?

My left ear is fine even in the cold, as the fit is not 100% right (but kind of glad, I would end up with sore ears in cold weather for both if they fitted the same).

Livewires amped

Can anyone who owns an iBasso P2/T2 or a Mini^3 paired with the Livewires comment on SQ and sonic characteristics? Is it even worth amping the Livewires? I have a set on the way, clear with black face plate with blacked out connectors. I'll be using it with a 5.5g 30GB iPod video with an LOD. I'm thinking of pairing it with one of the above amps. What I hope to get out of it are lush mids and punchy bass. My music library is fairly diverse, from Sade to DJ Tiesto.

thanks

Oya it definetly worth amping. my livewires are driven by my Tomahawk which besides sounding awesome, its completely hiss/hum free.

I use my Livewires amped a lot of the time - mainly because I don't listen to the headphone out of any of my ipods as much as I listen thru a line-out-dock. I got my P2 today, but I'm going out of town till Sunday so I'll let it run for 100 hours before my next listen. The amp sounds nice right out of the box.

The LW do well with ALL of my amps in my sig, especially the Headsix and a modified D1 (all new opamps).

My only issue with P2 is a small amount of hum when plugged into the particular AC socket that it's temporarily plugged into for burn-in, where computers and stuff mess with everything (I count 11 things plugged in here to three power strips).
