"Ear Kegs" - MusicMaker Phantom III / Shockwave III appreciation & impressions

Hey guys! Just picked up some SWIII's on Ali for the 11.11 sale for under $200 with a ton of extra tips, pretty pumped to hear them.  I'm currently running some HIFIMAN HE-400's off of a Fiio E17 (been running that set up for about 3 years or so, been really happy with it).  Has anyone had any experiences with pairing the SWIII's with the e17?  Cheers!

Is there any microphonics with the cabling? (I had to return a a pair of 1More Triple driver as the microphonics was nuts even over the ear).
Can they be worn over the ear?

From what I remember, low microphonics when down and yes they can be worn over ear.

Can assume there was no microphonics when over the ear.

by the way did you sell yours or just had a test unit? Just curious why you might not still own them.

TIA

Maybe the mmcx version would suit you best. You can swap out the cable for something like the LZ A3 or A4 (about $10 USD) cable which have little to no microphonics.

Thank you for the advice I appreciate it. I am concerned about the detachable cables as I've heard some horror stories. But that is definitely something I have to consider too
Lol. Too many choices

As i'm from Australia it was extremely hard to get Auvio tips as recommended here by Twin however i found an Ebay seller that sold them and sent me the large silicone tips and TWIN, you are correct, these are a must IMO. Mids come out a bit more and it has really tamed a bit of the sibilance sss sounds that were one of my only grips with the SW3s. CHVRCHES and Grimes who i listen to alot were awesome tests to test the sibilance and it has been greatly reduced with the Auvios. incredible 3d Soundstage is still there and bass still impactful without bleed. 
 
So happy with the SW3 Auvio tips (large) combo. Thanks for the advice Twin.
