Thanks Rocky. I'm looking forward to reviewing the DN-19. Congratulations to both newbies as well, hope you'll share your opinions! 

PM sent.  Thank Rocky.  Looking forward to hearing your flagship.

Awesome; thank you very much! Information sent!

Thanks Rocky! The opportunity is appreciated, and I hope to do the DN-19s justice. Really excited to start off my reviewing career with these.

Remember that www.topdogheadphones.com will provide a £30 or $50 USD voucher for the best review. The review will also be posted on their product page for the Tai Chi. Good luck to everyone and look forward to reading them all.

Mine arrived today! Will use them as my main IEM this week and will start writing the review as soon as I feel I have reached a conclusion. :)

thanks rocky, i wanted this info

upon first listen, these are nice IEMs.  But like many IEM's, getting the right tip fit is crucial with these.  Rocky, do you recommend any burn in time?

Due to so many variations I went through in the first 10 hours, I personally couldn't discern any burn in differences but of course it would be audacious for me to even claim to when I didn't notice any.

I went from no dampers and black mediums to dampers and black mediums to gray mediums with no dampers and gray mediums with dampers and then large grays with no dampers and then with dampers..and then black large with and without dampers

Yeah. It seems that the default state of the earbuds "suck" or insertion into the ears is only a light one where it is basically just presently stuck into the ear. I always use and can only use Medium tips for other things and the medium tips of these just play on my ear openings. But the larges actually still fit and can get me insertion. I do not yet have a preference on which one I prefer. This is due to my right ear opening. It is abnormal and not asymetric or chiral to my left ear. This leaves a smaller volume and presence and easy to falling out with my right ear. It is very annoying for me with every IEM and that is why I prefer headphones.

I have a deep ear canal and getting a proper fit with these earphones is quite a task, if the nozzle was 2 to 4mm longer the fit for me would be amazing. (The tuning port irritates my tragus)

I contacted Comply to see which T / Ts series would fit these. They replied back stating that they purchase each earphone they certify, and since they don't have the DN-19 they cannot recommend a Comply tip due to safety / insurance reasons. (I gave them the OD of the nozzle the shoulder size and the channel OD... but I can see their point.)

I "tinkered" with a set of foam earplugs and managed to get a manageable "decent" seal.

I should just pick up a set of 3 size Comply T400 and see how they work.

When are the reviews required by again?

Christmas preparations and activities are starting to pick up in my family.

Thanks
