Hey all!
 
I have a lot of fit issues with my DBA-02, which I don't have with my etymotic er-4p. In order to have an air tight seal with the dba-02, I have to push them very far and it gets kind of painful. When I was using the er-4p, I could push it pretty far in order to get a good seal with the tri-flange and the small flange would get stuck and make the good seal. It seems I can't get a good seal without going really deep, either with er-4 or dba-02.
 
Now, when you look at their tubes, the er-4p has a much longer and thinner tube. Since I seem to need this kind of "nose" to get a good seal, I was wondering if there are any IEMs that are designed with a longer and thinner tube. Sleek SA6 maybe?

so, did you like how DBA-02 sounded?
If you do, imo maybe ATH-CK10 is another great choice for you, they're tiny and can be inserted pretty deep (maybe about as deep as ER4 with triple flanges I borrow from my MTPGs) and they are comfortable, with great build quallity, isolation and no microphonics at all.
