Excellent, glad it worked for you. Good to know that alternate hair products also work :smile:

Step 7a. (Optional, for those with no willpower). Visit your local hospital and ask if they can put you into a medically induced coma for 24 hours :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Lol, glad I could give some feelings of nostalgia at the same time, we used to use washing up liquid :smile:

This has happened with every aftermarket tip I have tried, including the Symbio F. I got bored of it so engineered my own solution: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sony-ier-z1r.886120/post-15914809 It's been over 6 weeks now and I have not had a single 'pull off' incident since.

One pair available on Amazon UK now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GT586BV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_49pVFbPNGY9EY

lol, as you wish :slight_smile: It's not like you have to spray hairspray all over them and get it everywhere, it's a light coating carefully applied which will easily wipe off when not required.

Try the hairspray trick I outlined in https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sony-ier-z1r.886120/post-15914809 My Xelestecs would be left in my ears EVERY time I used them before I did this. Now I've been using them for 2 weeks without a single detachment.

Go and retrieve them from the trash, I have a solution! :ksc75smile: The Xelastics have got left behind and stuck in my ears from the very first time I used them and every other time without fail. Given that I had to import them from America and they cost a fortune I didn't want to give up on...

I'm not usually a fan of silicone type ear tips due to the noise leakage and have been using Comply foam tips for a while. I thought I'd give the Xelastecs a try to see what all the hype was about and have found that I really do like them. I have had no reduction in bass and a slight increase in...

For those still looking for the elusive IER-Z1R stock, there is now one pair on Amazon UK. I don't think they will last long so be quick! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GT586BV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_q4suFbR967JG4

It all comes down to point of reference. I know people who rave about how good AirPods are for music (they're not) and I used to rave about my Pioneer stacking system in years gone by because I didn't know any better. Wireless headphones are great for convenience but they won't be a patch on the...

Very nice! It looks like you are using Roon there? Do you have the 2Go setup as a Roon endpoint connected via Wifi? Out of interest, how were you connecting the Hugo2 before the addition of the 2Go? I think we have discussed before that the IER/Hugo2 is a winning combination, do you think that...

An excellent choice if I may say so :-) I know what you mean, it's when you go back to what you were previously listening to that you notice something missing. I think the IER-Z1R/Hugo2 combo is hard to beat. After being romanced by reviews of the Hugo TT2 and M-Scaler with statements like 'jaw...

Yep the combination is excellent. Works quite well with the Mojo too but to me sounded a little flat somehow.

I agree with your Z1R comments they are outstanding, but you asked about with a bright source and that was my experience, it's all about synergy and the 846 / Hugo 2 combo just didn't work for me at all. Other people may have a different experience but for me it was awful and made me want to...
