Actually though it doesnt need to go into your ear canal. only the very tip does, which is narrow. And only very slightly. Then it creates a kind of plug. Like imagine inverting a parking cone and sticking it into a golf ball hole. Obviously its not going to fit into the narrow hole. But the tip...

What I do as well. I use a larger tip in my right ear, which is narrower. It took months to figure this out lol, but now its perfect, the seal is just as good as the left. And @IvanE92 , this was with using U12t. I was having exactly the same issue. Fixed with Azla SednaEarfit Max tips...

One for me would be the Etymotic ER2XR. The main reason is the isolation, they isolate much better than any other iems I've tried, and that is very useful. They really block out train or airplane noise, especially with foam tips. I use the yellow Shure tips as they're better constructed than...

They are REALLY awesome. I think you should be thrilled about your purchase. I bought my pair around 2 years ago, and for me they were and are still the best set out there. This includes demoing many other top iems before and since. They are great and incredibly versatile with different types...

This is the 634ears 4.4mm balanced cable. I love it, it sounds great and is soft, never tangles. As you can see it's pretty thick, so it does give support. As tall person, I wish it were slightly longer (my 64 Audio 4.4 balanced is maybe 2 inches longer) but for most people should be OK. Also...

A track from this album that I can't believe every time I hear it. When people say "bah, rap isn't music, just noise... " this comes to mind as an example of what they're missing.

Love these two... and really its very hard to rate one of his albums over another, they're all masterpieces. "Untitled Unmastered" I would say is another one that doesn't get its due, it's incredible.

Oh that's excellent info. I'll have to try them then. And yeah the tape blobs on my set on the right confirm that the 30i plastic may indeed crack!! Thanks a lot.

As you can see I'm a Koss KPH30i man myself, lol. I noticed in your sig you also have the 30i... I'm curious, how does it compare to the 40?

Definitely seems that way! I'd like to briefly chime in on the very positive side. I've visited e-earphone in Tokyo easily 10+ times over the last couple of years, demoing many top IEMs mentioned here, both before and after I bought my pair of U12t. For me and the music I most often listen to...

This track sounds unbelievable on my Miroak II Japan ed.

Wow, I just checked mine and indeed they do. Never noticed, yeah lol it is tiny... but that is useful for sure. Thanks.

I was having a similar issue... until I started using the Sedna Earfit Max tips, which besides fitting and sounding great, have a built in filter. Now the iem internals are always clean, no cleaning or worrying necessary...

Agreed, I recently picked up the $199 premium cable and am using with the U12t, I think it's great and solved my cable problems. So soft, just a really comfortable and nice cable to use.

Continuing on the Polish theme... a selection from the genius Marek Grechuta (:

This is a very interesting review and youre right, the XL looks absolutely massive lol. Ill probably try out the black ones, thanks a lot.

Agreed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murchison_meteorite#Classification_and_composition

Nice review and my Miroak II Japan ed. sounds similar. What jumped out at me was your mentioning the lack of muddiness. Yeah, absolutely. When I listen to these iems it always strikes me how well controlled the sound is, from top to bottom. Listening to some high end iems I sometimes feel...

I've been having lots of fun with my 634ears MIROAK-II Japan Limited set. They're fantastic.

What kind of jank is happening on the Quest 3? I don't get sick with the Quest 2, fortunately. But it gets tiring and pre-headachy after an hour. Yeah I assume the much higher quality Q3 lenses could help with that. That said I'm very happy with the Q2, still, and may wait for the Q4.

FWIW, I hear you about feeling overwhelmed with VR at about an hour. After I use my Quest 2 for 45 min to an hour, I feel like its time to stop. But that said, you can have a lot of fun in an hour. For example I play a game called Population One a lot. I'll never be able to enjoy a flat...

Putting the Iems in a sealed jar with silicagel dries them out well and with no risk. This is what I do and also is recommended by 64 Audio as a viable option.

I was heading in that direction with my U12t until I started using these tips, the EarfitMax. Besides a perfect fit, those filters keep the iems very clean inside. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0B48P171D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think I'm saying anything that people here don't know, but just in case... the yen is very weak and has been for a while. So it's a good time for people abroad to pick up anything made in Japan, if they can get it at the prices offered in Japan or close to it. Oh and the fit of the...

Thanks for this, very interesting comparison. I haven't tried the LOAK, but your description of the Miroak definitely sounds similar to mine, although I have the Japan Limited edition. I will admit that I tried many iems over several months, including well known names like Volur, IER-Z1R...
