Why do my livewires sound like garbage when I insert the plug all the way into the jack?
Just got a new set of wires for my livewire IEM's, and they sound like garbage now. Definitely a technical issue. However, when I pull the connector from the jack ever so slightly so that it sits there somewhat loosely, it sounds fine. I've tried with multiple sources and have the same problem...- Ernie Mccracken

Cleaning IEM's? (Gross Pic Included)
So I've had my livewires for awhile and usually wear them 15+ hours/week. Cleaning has become progressively more frustrating as more wax makes its way into the openings.

Best DAP's for Ampless Use?
I had my impressions done last week and am now waiting on my livewires to show. I will be purchasing a DAP in the meantime. The primary use will be for frequent business travel.

Custom IEM advice?
Background: I am on an airplane at least 2x-3x/week and have ear buds in for 5+ hours most days. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I'm tired of ill fitting ear buds. I want to invest in something more comfortable. 90%+ of my listening is MP3's or XM, so my needs are a little different...- Ernie Mccracken
