Quote:   I had a bit of a hiccup prior to getting my impressions done for my MG6Pro. Had sizeable ear wax in my right ear so I was on the drops and the doc flushed it out a week later; he used a syringe with a flexible plastic tube that was really thin and flushed warm water gently to...

Quote:   If you really love them and are willing to take the plunge, a pair of custom SofterWear sleeves will help you get the fit right all the time, with no chance of them shifting. I too experienced the same fit issues with the silicone sleeves, but I'm now using the custom sleeves and...

Hey there, you mentioned you bought the X10s from a store. I don't know if you have access to brick and mortar audio stores, but if you do, you can consider dropping by to audition earphones. This will no doubt be the best "review" - your own ears.

  Quote:   Oh dear...I actually like memory wire; enjoyed using FS' Ear Monitor cables on my Triple Fis. Heh heh.

  Quote:   Hmm, perhaps it has to do with me having extremely small ears. Even before, when wearing them with stock tips, the tip of the strain relief would already be at the point where the cable starts to go over my ear, so the year and a half of use has taken its toll.   As for...

  Quote:   Have a look at this picture. Maybe it'll clear things up about my points on the curvature being strangely designed.     Pardon the blurriness. Notice how the strain relief is designed to curve outwards from the ear canal area, towards the upper left corner, in the...

  Quote:   Mine are about a year and a half old. I totally agree with your assessment. It would have made more sense to have an S-shaped curve for the strain relief, so it bends outwards from the ear canal, and then inwards again so as to lead the cable over the ear. I also live in...

  Quote:   Dude...   Hahaha. Maybe I have strange perspiration (I perspire when playing drums), and it doesn't help that with the Softerwear tips, the cable is pulled against the curvature of the strain relief, thereby enlarging the hole that the cable comes out of. One thing I...

  Quote:   Did you mistake microphonics for lack of isolation by accident?

  Quote:   Whoops, slipped my mind! The wear is more apparent in the strain relief of the left driver.    

  Quote:   I've spoken to David Gray about this. Apparently, the later generations of MG7s (I have an older version - at least 2 years old) have hardier strain relief, and they might consider something different for the next iteration of Atrios, perhaps TF10-style replaceable cables. He...

Hey guys, anyone having trouble with the strain relief on the driver end of the cables? Mine is starting to go soft and give way around where the cable meets the strain relief (pictures below). Has anyone had a fix for this issue?   On a separate note, I have another pair of old Atrios (I...

  Quote:   Lemme post pictures when I get them back. They're loaned out to a friend for the weekend. 

I had a moment of revelation a few days after getting my Triple.Fis. This is what I feel good about, and what I think you guys could give a try.   I had actually done the flip mod and was rather satisfied with myself. That day, I went to take my ear impressions for my MG7 custom tips and I...

  Quote:     Quote:     I did custom tips for my MG7s because I like their signature a lot, and I wanted to nail the fit 100% of the time. It's impossible to talk about how they affect sound without going into isolation and fit, because truth be told, that does affect the...
