However, when listening to music, the upper end treble does sound recessed. From a general audio perspective, this tends to indicate more of a factor related not to output but to phase or distancing from the ear. It seems to represent a time domain delay of audio information to the ear relative to lower frequencies. It's merely a guess as I know no specifics to the actual design of the earphone, however it's the main effect of time delay when output levels are not the reason. This kind of stuff is a natural byproduct of electronic crossovers though.
Yea, I think you may be right on this as I made an accidental discovery. The swivel connector on the cable is allowing for more tip options to me that I use to not be able to use. In other words, previously, as soon as the cable would shift from any momement, the housing would shift a bit too and possibly dislodging the tip in your ear losing the seal somewhat. With the swivel cable connector system, the housing doesn't budge one bit even with lots of movement. The cable takes the brunt of the movement, not the housing. I'm using the smallest flex sleeve right now. When fully placing the sleeve onto the end of the nozzle, the end of the nozzle is almost all the way to the end of the sleeve and is therefore closer to the ear. I am getting all the treble I need with no siblance.
