Actually the premium with the 1964 Ears isn't that high if you think about it. I don't know if the $200 base price includes having the customs have a replacement cable option since I do remember that making it with a replaceable cable may have been additional but I don't quite remember. You don't have to pay for impressions again so thats like a $50 savings compared to the other companies. As long as you are comfortable with the companies offering reshelling that's all that matters. I personally would go with UM since I do like the quality of their work but they are in China vs USA and 1964 Ears is definitely much more convenient than UM and they communicate better than Kozee and Fisher.
I'm curious for the reasoning behind reshelling the DBA-02 however. I found them comfortable with a good cable and pretty low profile so I'm not sure what benefits a reshell would have but maybe the fit was different for you than it was for me.
I have a fit question/issue. I've noticed a difference in seal between when my jaw is closed (e.g., biting down lightly) and when my jaw is slightly slack so that my lower teeth are in front of my upper teeth. The quads have better isolation in the closed position, but feel tighter. In the slack position, they let in (slightly) more ambient noise, but are more comfortable.
Is it normal to have this difference between closed and slack positions?
Yup it's normal. As you open your mouth the size of your ear canals get widened. That's why they ask for an open-jaw impression. In the end it's a tradeoff, if you want them to have great seal with your mouth open, then it will be tighter when your mouth is closed. Unfortunately they made mine so large that even when my jaw was open they felt waaay to large. It's a hard thing to get right for sure...
My customs stay sealed no matter what I do. Eat a one pound burger or laugh my ass off. Nothing gets in. Guess I got lucky. I'm not slack jawed though.
Just preparing for my quads in a few weeks, how sensitive are they to "lesser" quality music?
I've noticed most of my music is 192kbps-256kbps.
Should I be looking for music of a higher bitrate?
I can't wait to not have to keep pushing my universals back in every 3 minutes!!
