So I recieved the Rockets, and I really like their sound, except the lower mids are a bit too forward. Do other people hear that as well? It's to the point that the voice sounds a bit too boosted/unnatural

Other than that they're flawless.

The treble isn't lacking for me like I feared, it's just right. And the bass is nicely neutral how I like it. In other words, they're flawless, except for the overly strong lower midrange

Most would express deep love for the mids of the rockets. As you said vocals are nice and up front, very clear too.

Let them burn in a bit perhaps. You could even try tip rolling too, see if any tips may de emphasize that area a bit for you.

Sounds like a resonance issue in the lower mids. Try different tips and insert deeper.

Im using JVC spiral dot tips btw. Haven't put other tips in btw.

So I tried out all the tips that I have, and I've found the medium sony hybrid tips to give the best balance in the mids, but it's still a bit too much lower midrange and the treble gets too subdued to be enjoyable.

What tips do you guys recommend?

Spinfits worked well for me, if you can get a good seal/placement in your ear.

Try a foam style tip.

Reverse Comply Ts-500 cools off the mids nicely for me. The shallower the better.

Hi all, the Rockets have been my primary way to listen on the go. Lately I've been interested in active noise canceling phones like Bose QC20 for use while traveling on planes. Is there anyone who can comment on how well the noise canceling works on the QC20 versus the noise isolation on the Rockets?

do you have them with or without the wax guard?

No wax guard. Totally unnecessary if you clean your ears every day.

Alright thank you. Yeah my ears are clean, I was just wondering if the wax guard would have a different effect on sound.
