I'm probably a few years too late, but Etymotic makes a case with those exact dimensions. It's a hard case mean't for their premium earplugs. It even has padding inside. Don't know anything else about it though.

Thank you! :)

Was anyone able to confirm the pin-out for the EL-8 connectors?

My preferred eartips hole is slightly larger than my main earphones nozzle. They fall off when putting them in and out of my pocket. Anyone have any tips on how to keep them semi-permanently on the nozzle? I know I could do a dab of super glue, but that would probably ruin the eartips and...

Would anyone be interested in a headphone swap for a week or two? I have a couple of headphones and some Iems to choose from. I'm looking at the Xelento since I've realized any IEM that goes into my ear just hurts (really small ear canal). But my Beyer Beat Byrd are perfect. However, I'm kind...

Does anyone know how the Xelento fit compares to Beyer Byrd IEMs? I have the Beyer Beat Byrd and their fit with their stock silicone tips is the only IEM I've ever used that I find actually comfortable.

This is an awesome start! Googling that does come up with a good bit of results. Mostly Airpod type earphones, but it's better than nothing. The Xelento is a half-in ear?

So I've given up on IEMs. Putting something inside my ear canal just doesn't work for me unfortunately (I've tried many, with many many eartips). Today I received a pair of custom silicone eartips, and it kind of sealed the deal that IEMs are not for me. Earbuds usually don't work for me...

I tried the radians before. Getting the bore to fit correctly is hard, and you only get one shot. After 3 tries I gave up on that one. They also sounded terrible. I actually just purchased thermoplastic too. I've been practicing, but this stuff hardens very quickly. And I'd rather not stick...

That does sound pretty great. If I went with a CIEM it would probably be a budget option, but since I really like the R1s, it would be great to make them more comfortable and fit my canal correctly. Have you ever had the issue I mentioned with universals? And if so, did it go away with the...

I have this issue with typical silicone or foam tips where the IEM needs to be oriented in a very specific way to get clean sound, otherwise it sounds muffled. And with my current IEMs (IMR R1), this is a pretty uncomfortable orientation. I don't have this issue with shallow fit earbuds like...

I'm not sure, but they didn't ask.

Where did you buy your A5s? When I had a driver failure, LZ basically told me "Tough luck. Hopefully Amazon can help you." I really miss these IEMs, but I'm not getting within 10 miles of an expensive product that has no quality assurance.

I had an issue with the left driver of my pair when I owned them. I contacted LZ and they said they don't handle customer service claims and don't do repairs. The only thing I can do is contact the seller I got it from (Amazon) and cross my fingers. Which I did, and luckily they accepted it. But...

Is there anyone with a pair of Fostex Th900s going to the meet?

Does anyone know how the Essential phone USB C DAC dongle compares to the Quad Dac in the LG V20 and LG G6+ (Or International version of the G6)?

I've tried different eartips, but these IEMs only work well in terms of fit with a handful of tips. Something about the nozzle. Otherwise the tips give a slight variance, but not nearly what I heard before. I'll wait to conclude this judgement once I get some Sony hybrids in the mail. In terms...

That's a good point to consider, but no they wetr exactly the same. Both times Tidal on my V20. And I've never downloaded any form of EQ on it. I don't feel that there's more bass really, just more warmth, which makes it "feel" more bassy, but also more bloated. In other words, to me the...

So, I tried the Velvet V2 at two separate meets, and both times I found them pretty bass heavy, almost to the point where I wondered if it would be too much. But I like some thwacking bass, so I went ahead and bought a pair, and now that I have them, for some reason I find them a little bass...

I mean, idk, I asked LZ and it seems they purchase legit Sony tips and include them in the package. Otherwise, they are the best 3rd part Sony Hybrid copies I've used.

That's what I've been doing. But most are generic. I don't know what the original tips package looks like.

Anyone know where I can buy a pack of the silicone eartips that come with the A5s (preferably only small size)? I know they are Sony eartips, but I can't find legit ones. I've bought about 3 different cheap imitation sets and they are nowhere near the quality as the ones that come with the A5.

It seems that penon audio has the 8N in stock. https://penonaudio.com/flc-8n.html

Anyone know how good these would be for sleeping on? As in, can you lie on your pillow without feeling extra pressure from the IEMs in your ear?
