Haven't posted for a while and noticed that this thread has gotten really technical. But that's good! Just want to say that after 10 years of owning several in ear phones, the ER4 is still the best. I often got lost wandering around trying different IEM's but I always end up going back to my...

Welcome to the club

Its a similar problem with the FA-DBA2 :(

Am not sure if this question has been asked already...does anyone have an issue with regards to the swiveling port? After 2 months of use I haven't got any problems but since it is a moving part, I'm concerned if there will be some loosening at one point

Had the DBA2, used it for 3 mos-> channel imbalance. Tried the B2, used it for 4 mos -> channel imbalance. I gave up on these two a long time ago...moving on

I read the previous posts on this thread and no one seemed to mention amping the MC5. There are IEMs that don't do well or even sound worse with an amp, such as the FA DBA-2 and FA eterna. I know the MC5 is meant to be portable and used straight out of an ipod considering that it has volume...

Yup did that thanks. Emailed them but unfortunately my set is out of warranty and they wont cover that anymore. Have a new pair of B2's so shifting gears to that   Quote:  

Really? Mine's cracked too but out of warranty (Aug 2010) Can I have them replaced or repaired too? How do I go about it? Bought them from TREEO.com singapore.

Tried the Ety triflange with the B2s but didnt work for me. I think the preferred tips for the B2s are single flanges so you can insert the nozzle well deep into the canal. Athough you can insert the triflanges deep enough, the nozzles remain distant from your eardrums and this sort of distorts...

Do you mean "Beats"?   Quote:  

I really doubt about this "burn in" effect. Was using my DBA-02 for over a year and just had my B2's recently and after comparing both, they sound 95% the same. Quote:  

Had a similar problem with the tips being left in my ear. A simple solution is to put some sticky tape around the nozzle to get a tighter fit so the tips are more secure   Quote:
