SONY IER-Z1R
I go back and forth between the two. I slightly prefer the sound of the silicones - I find them to be a bit more crisp and clear. But like you said, I also find the tc's to be more comfortable without much detriment to the sound. When I say I think the silicones are more crisp and clear, the...- MegaMatt5000

RIMOWA Luggage-FI
I just recently became interested in this as I'm traveling more for work. Some of the top names I've heard out there are Tumi and Rimowa at the top, Briggs&Riley and Samsonite Black Label at the mid-top, and Travelpro, Eagle Creek, and regular Samsonite just a bit cheaper but still high quality...- MegaMatt5000

Just ten minutes? I'd start Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 1-5 at about 2 minutes in and die with a minute to spare.- MegaMatt5000

Have you ever let a review influence the way you hear/enjoy gear?
To the main question, I would say yes and no. I picked up a Solaris a few months ago and was very happy with it during the honeymoon phase (still am happy). However, after reading several forum posts and reviews mentioning midrange hollowness with female vocals, it started to stick out to me...- MegaMatt5000

Campfire - Solaris
I actually like these best with the CF Marshmallow tips. I've tried out the Spiral Dots and honestly think they sound kinda honky with them. On the other hand, I've read plenty of accounts of others liking the Solaris with Spiral Dots. Just goes to show how subjective hearing is.- MegaMatt5000

RIMOWA Luggage-FI
I don't own anything from Rimowa, but I definitely appreciate the craftsmanship. I just picked up a Briggs & Riley today for an upcoming trip overseas!- MegaMatt5000

Tidal Lossless Streaming
I have a question here that someone may know the answer to - When my songs are playing on shuffle, the queue seems to always show a lot of the same songs even though I have many more saved. I'll scroll down through the queue and end up seeing the same songs all over again in the same queue...- MegaMatt5000

SONY IER-Z1R
I echo that. I listened to the Solaris for about 2 months straight and have been using the Z1R for the last 3 weeks. To me, the Z1R sounds more lively and full-bodied. I feel it bring out more emotion and gets me moving. However, I'd still say that even though I love the Z1R, I still realize...- MegaMatt5000

The Pelican 1010 works very well. I also keep some extra tips, an iPhone adapter, and a cleaning tool stuffed inside the foam.- MegaMatt5000

Speaking of the tips mentioned above, does anyone know where to find the same clear hybrid tips? There are black ones, but I believe the rubber is a bit more rigid.- MegaMatt5000
