    Feedback on expired classified

    I sold a headphone not long ago here, but the classified I posted has been up for about a year before someone bought it. The timing worked out such that my classified got automatically closed just before I sold it, and I assume that's because it turned exactly 1 year old. And since it's been...

    My ear canals are freakishly narrow, and I can't fit ANY IEM tips in them.

    I recently got my first pair of IEMs (Truthear Zero), and apparently, my ear canals are incredibly thin. To the point that they fit perfectly fine and don't fall out with no tips at all. I tried them with tips and was legitimately in pain, so I'm not sure how much I'm missing out on. Is wearing...
