Thanks so much for all the advice guys. I will try the mod, insertion depth and different tips. Which model of complys do you recommend for these particular headphones?
Also deeper fit will help. The K3003 isn't meant to be worn deep but some ear shapes prevent the housing from sitting deep enough to avoid sibilance. You might try smaller tips than you normally wear, to see if you can fit slightly deeper or you might try double or triple flange tips. (The only issue with non AKG tips is making sure not to cover the nozzle vent with your tip stem). 3mm of depth might make all the differences in the world by pushing the peaks out of the sibilance zone.
how does this affect the K3 sound ? less bass ?
they are a brighter earphone so maybe you just need a bit of time to adjust. And yeah make sure your using a higher bitrate. They defently bring out the bad in bad bitrate music.Thanks so much for all the advice guys. I will try the mod, insertion depth and different tips.

Covering the vents do increase the bass at the cost of making the sound congested. The dynamic driver does a lot more inside these than just being a simple bass driver. In fact I suspect the BAs are tuned to kick in a lot higher than most folks would think.
I completely concur with tdx's opinion on these. The only solution I could find was to eq the 5k peak. Complies kill the highs and do almost nothing to tame that peak.
Hi everyone
I recently bought a pair of K3003s. These are my first high-end IEMs so I'm really excited to have them but I have one issue that's bothering me and wanted to have your input on it.
Basically they sound really good except for some of the high frequencies, especially the "S" sounds in lyrics (both male and female) that sound really, really harsh and almost painful to listen to. I tried all three filters and the bass filters do help a little bit but they muddy up the sound.
I even tried a different pair, thinking there might be something wrong with mine, and they had the same exact issue.
So I was wondering if anyone who owns these has had that problem and if so how did you deal with it. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I really like these headphones so I'd love to get rid of this one problem.
Thanks!
