What is the "normal" and "right" sound? The one without pressure or the other... are my fit problems not finished...
Thank you...
That still sounds like a fit issue, but it may be remedied by using an ear lubricant to create the same seal as you get when pushing the shell in. When most shells are manufactured, they are dry and even though they fit well, they don't seal as well as they do with extended use due to cerumen buildup, but you can speed that process with the ear lubricant.
Or get them slightly larger in the canal, but then you risk discomfort.
Pressure is different as many of my CIEMs require me to pull them back a bit after insertion to relieve the pressure buildup during insertion. I know those fit real well.

. I think I am done with inserting any more IEMs into my ears (Still waiting for my last one, SE 5 way). Full sized earphones are so much eaiser to handle.
Fit can be a hassle and it seems there are several people with issues as of late. I am not sure why that is, but Earsonics got my EM4 perfect on the first try (thankfully). Other than changing material for my impressions, which does give different results, the results from manufacturers are pretty accurate and I would believe a high % of the issues are due to the impressions themselves. If the company takes a negative, or scans the impression, there really shouldn't be much room for error, but when injecting the impression material in the ear and not pulling back the gun at the best time can lead to canals not being formed perfectly.
The shipping fee can almost afford another pair of IEMs. I don't want to keep doing this endless cycle that leads to nothing. They can't get my right ear fitting right.
