How deep should the filters be in the nozzle Gilly? My pair weren't new, when I look in the nozzle I can see a metal circle around the outer edge, but in this light I can't see in very far.
I'm guessing that metal circle is part of filter?
Do you run yours with the filter?post #1053 of 10803/16/13 at 1:50am- H20Fidelity

My stock SM3s have the metal part of the filters right at the edge of the nozzle, with the green filter itself being slightly recessed.

Its not atrocious or anything, but it makes them unsuitable for being used out and about daily.post #1061 of 10804/8/13 at 7:12amQuote:

I've only had V2 but I remember reading about build issues with the V1s as well.

^^ with brand new tips, they are uncomfortable. Try applying a small amount of baby oil (careful not to get oil on the green filters) over time, the tips get softer and more comfortable. I find inserting them fully then pulling back gets me a good seal.Return HomeBack to Forum: Portable Headphones, Earphones and In-Ear Monitors- Earsonics sm3 V2
