Shell is not the problem for me. Specifically with B2 it's the chonky nozzle. RSV nozzle has a bit longer tapered area, which probably contributes to better comfort as compared to B2, but B2 on the other hand is really like a custom IEM, it basically sinks in the ear, if not for the too narrow...

Hm. I'm gonna be pretty basic as I'm no musician or review guru, but have spent my fare share of time watching and reading a bunch of reviews. But it would also be great to have an idea of what you are listening to—that would allow a better comparison. TL.DR.: M9 are warmer and thicker sounding...

To each their own. After you sharing that you expect to listen in loud environment and at lower volumes. It signals that you need good isolation and possibly boosted signature. RSV are basically designed to enjoy music at as loud volumes as you want, they don't have any peaks, which would stop...

I understand you, just wanted to let you know that they are often popping in second-hand market for 600-700 USD. And don't forget that RSVs are very well regarded and also hold 2nd value pretty well. :wink: I just wouldn't get my hopes up in changing the sound signature of RSVs that much with a...

@FreeBlues Allow me to pitch in my very beginner opinion, but I sort of second what you seem to be feeling now. I've upgraded from Blessing 2 to RSVs and yeah, I've received mostly everything I was looking for: less bloated bass, less harsh high mids/treble as well as a bit better fit (still...

For me personally - they are not ideal. Maybe for someone less sensitive of pressure build up they would be perfect. Also, I'm not sure what exactly causes a somewhat severe pain while wearing those for a longer time. It could be not the pressure itself, but the lip of the tip, which is too tall...

But these do differ from the EPNI1000 from what I can see. They are probably also pretty different in their material. Where EPNI1000 is probably close to the original foamies Sony bundles with M9 and these are regular squishy (quickly wearing) ones?

Yup. I have not ever heard of any ear-tips being more expensive. But I still did buy a pair from amazon.pl for 24.99, but at least shipping should end up around 0 for me. It would be a decent value if the comfort with M9 will be sublime and they last at least a year. :fingers_crossed: I'll be...

They don't seem to be that insanely overpriced on amazon.de :thinking: And if Poland is closer for anyone—they have it as well and it seems to be free shipping (at least domestic), whereas amazon.de wants you to buy for at least 29 Eur to get that. 🤦‍♂️ I just would be curious to hear which...
