The 'x' model means the wax guard is included, recommended to protect your headphones. And yes, I ordered the small size.   They come as three pairs, and each pair I use seem to last 2-3 months before losing their memory foam shape too much.

I had the same problem with my small ears and the T20.   Bought the Comply Tx-200 tips which solved this problem superbly

I can't comment on the crackle question , sorry. But using the T20i for two weeks now, I have got used to the memory wire. It is more mountable wire than memory, so will get bent out shape depending how tightly you pack them away. Quickest and best way to fit I find, is to roll and pinch the...

Hi bubbasworld, what were the problems you had with the cable and comfort?

Thanks @Tom22 I really appreciate the advice. It seems like I have a very good fit and seal with the Comply Tx200 tips. They really help to make the earphone more secure, as this is the first time I have ever used over ear cables, it feels strange but getting used to it now. The over ear cables...

Thank you @dlayman Yes I think I am getting a good seal and the tip rolling before putting in makes a big difference too. I will go back and compare side by side with the double flanges that seem to fit me too and update on the difference.   Plus your notes on when to replace is very useful...

I couldn't get the RHA supplied foam tips anywhere near in my (very small) ear canals. Like others here, I could use the double flange ones only. I have bought Comply Tx200 and they have been okay so far.   However, as a novice to this... how tight should the comply tips be fitting for the...

I would not count myself as an audiophile or expert in reviewing or critiquing phones, but I love my music and I love listening to a good sound, so my choice of headphone is important to me.   I mainly listen when commuting on trains and tubes, and this means my source is also restricted to...

Good luck with the replacement cable. I will also be trying a new one. But I will want a very long coil cable to reach the receiver as I (hopefully) spend time chilling out. Not sure about the Etys. Might try the RHAs or Atomic Floyd Superdarts

I have owned my H6 for nearly a year now. I agree with a lot of the comments on the earlier posts, including that burning in did really make a difference. Out of the box they were shrill, 48 hours later they were warm and detailed.   I adore the sound of the headphones, listening to songs such...

The volume could be more. But yes the isolation will limit that too. The surprising thing for me is the difference between the iPhone 5 then the 5s then the 6. The 5 required treble booster to create a clean bright sound, the 5s required no EQ, but I find myself using treble reducer on the 6...

Hi Manbear, Thank you for your help. That has made me think differently about this again! The issue is partially volume as I am at 98% volume for normal non train listening. Then usually 90% volume on the train as I don't want to leak sound to others. The volume is then right, any louder hurts...

Can anyone help please? After a lot of reading, I like the choice of SMSL SAP 5 or FiiO E12A as a headphone amp with iPhone 6 and B&O H6. Which is best for this set up? Does the E12A only work well with IEM? Will an amp still allow the H6 inline remote commands to still work? Thanks

Just a bump... Any help would be very appreciated... Which portable amp is best for iPhone 6 and B&O H6? My preference after reading everything in here seems to be the FiiO E12A. Nice price, nice build quality, has a bass boost that is not exaggerated compared to the SAP 5. But it is a IEM...

Hi all, long time with no posting... just lurking!   I recently lost my AKG Q460s due to sound loss in one speaker. The AKGs were great, I really loved their portability and folding option, and their size was useful, even allowing to fold up in pockets of certain coats too. But even though the...

Hi all, long time with no posting... just lurking!   I recently lost my AKG QC460s due to sound loss in one speaker. The AKGs were great, I really loved their portability and folding option, the sound was good, but noise isolation and leakage were terrible.   I wanted to up the level I was...

Hello all, Needed some quality headphones to work well enough with an iPhone 4, but not too pricey as travel alot! Needed to be be mini on-ear, excellent sound quality, good phone mic and music remote, and look good too. Not the Bose - boring sound Not the Dre Beats - marketing con without...

Hello all I have decided to buy the AKG Q460's. Due to finding consistent reports of little or no sound leakage, plus better sound quality than the Klipsch's. Paid a little more to buy direct from AKG, but their customer service and help has been brilliant. Shall I burn these in? What MP3...

Thank you Armaegis,   I'll check out the Senn's too. but seem to be getting consistent advice to take the AKG's so feeling pretty good about those so far.   Thanks

Hello all, Really stuck on a decision, could do with advice or experience from anyone? I want a pair of mini closed headphones, that are designed for use with iPhone 4. Not the Bose - boring design and found the sound boring too for the price. And not the Beats - lack of quality for price and...

Hello everyone, I am at a complete loss after hours of trawling the Internet for reviews and info on decent headphones for use with iPhone 4. This is my first time here at Head-Fi so I apologise for any wrong terminology or lack of knowledge, but hopefully you can help? I have used my cheap...
