    Is there a way to tell if CIEMs have been damaged electrically or mechanically while undergoing remolding?

    Thanks. There is nothing bad in particular. They do sound very different.

    Is there a way to tell if CIEMs have been damaged electrically or mechanically while undergoing remolding?

    So, I have a pair of W3s that I have remolded. They sound fine, but hard to tell whether they are any better than how they were prior to remolding. Can't remember that far back. I like the fit and comfort, however.   I just received a pair of W4 on a trade and listening to them made me go WOW...

    Update and such with my experience with InEarCustom

    I noticed that the previous thread on InEarCustom is locked.   I am posting this as an update to my experience (your experience may vary) that I want to share with the rest of the Head-Fi community.   I had my W3s reshelled by InEarCustom earlier this year. There were delays, communication...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Quote:   Interesting. The angle of the socket/cable looks weird. Does the cable stick out when you insert the ear pieces? It also looks much smaller than mine.

    Quote:   Update on Saturday June 29, 2013. My IEMs were delivered today with the fit issue resolved. Testing it now.   It has been about 2 1/2 weeks since I shipped them back to Rob.   I am glad that the fit issue has been resolved to my satisfaction.   I have not been...

    Custom IEM Fit Issues Thread.... Help! (with Pics)

    I don' think you should be able to hear a person next to you at a moderate volume if the fit is good. You should have a bit of discomfort initially when inserted, but then that should go away after a while.   More importantly, the bass should be there. If you don't have good seal, you cannot...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Initial discomfort may be OK, but there shouldn't be any pain. I also suggest leaving them in for an extended period (1+ hour) and if they are uncomfortable enough for you to say "Sound-be-damned, I need this out of my ears!"  If so, then you should get them refitted. You are definitely aware...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Quote:   I used a local audiologist.   As a follow-up, someone from the company got in touch with me and asked me to send them back. I think it is an issue with a section pressing against ear cartilage so hopefully a simple fix?   Will post follow-up with additional info when...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Just got my W3s back (6/7/13). The envelope that they came in said 4/15/13 - I am guessing that was the date they were received by Inearcustom. I am having a fit issue with the right side. There seems to be little too much material where it rests against the ear cartilage and it hurts my ear. I...

    Opinions sought - replace out of warranty W3 from Westone or get them reshelled

    My W3s have developed a connection problem near the plug - crackles, intermittent connection, etc. Since they are out of warranty Westone offered to replace them for $1xx. The cost, however, is more than getting them reshelled with new cable, I am wondering what the best option may be. Just want...

    I would say that's correct. Continues to claim that he did not receive my ipod.    I've been on this board now for close to 10 years. I have had nothing but good trades until this came along.    End of story. This thread was interesting for a while, but I see that...

    I am puzzled. whatcar1990 is still allowed on the board for the purpose of (I am guessing) working through all the thefts he committed. But I see that he is also posting on other forums as if nothing is wrong.   Whoever this person is (Rihard is the person I sent my ipod to and now is...

    Converting earbuds to IEM-style - silicone cover/tips

    Well, the reviews are not all that great. One reviewer commented that the tips are just foams, not the closed-cell type of complys and lets in ambient noise.   There is something called acoutibuds on Amazon. That may work better.   The limiting factor seems to be that you can take your...

    Converting earbuds to IEM-style - silicone cover/tips

    That was quick. Thanks. It seems that they are not worth the money. I wonder if any of the other "enhancers" may be better? Or you can remove the foam tips and replace with something better?   Thanks again for the quick response.

    Converting earbuds to IEM-style - silicone cover/tips

    There used to be a product that one could slip over earbuds like Apple buds and turn them into semi-IEM style phones. Does anyone recall what they were called and whether they are still available? I am wondering if I can do something similar to my B&O A8s as my ears are differently shaped and...
