It's a bit overloaded with marketing language, but the meat of the email is terrific. Problem identified, how it's solved, and how you know if it affects you. Excellent. This is an example of doing things right. Cheers to them.

Also, what size did you specify? 

Quote: Noooooo! The 700s have a common problem with the wiring separating at the 3.5 mm jack end.  And since you can't disconnect the wire at the IEM end like on Shures and other brands, if the wire goes you have to send the entire pair back, etc. For $150, I would expect higher...

Quote: Wow, that's actually really nice looking! I like that far better than the original suggestion of the wall-mounted broom holder. When you say it's unstable, do you mean wobbly, or just the headphones put a high center of gravity on it, so it's easy to topple? I think maybe...

Hey all. So, I just upgraded my Op Amps from stock to the TI LME49720s. I'm not happy with the change. Tried with both my Grados and Sennheisers, and I think they sound noticeably worse than stock, which surprises me greatly. Has anyone else upgraded to these op amps and not been happy? It's...

Shure SE-215-K. $99 on Amazon. Great IEMs for the cost, IMHO.

Quote: Thank you!! This is what I was looking for.  I too will be leaving the vents open.

Quote: Having used mine extensively for over a year before moving to a set of DHCs, my clear cables absolutely discolored and turned quite green near the ear.

Quote: Symbiote, absolutely. I have the same SE535s right now with a custom DHC Symbiote set-up.
