    Sennheiser IE80 vs Chi-Fi

    Hey guys! I own a pair of Sennheiser IE80. Friend bought KZ ZSX and I tried them, just to be amazed at how 7 times cheaper iems almost match mine and even surpass them in some aspects.

    Comply foam tips help

    I have Sennheiser IE80 and I was thinking of getting Comply tips (that mixed color option so I can put red on one and blue on the other earpiece so I see which one is right/left).   Since the mid bass can be overbearing and affecting mids logical is that with better seal that problem will be...
