r3 a misunderstanding, and the BW know it

What is so bad about the over sized memory cable?

 

[quartertone]

It gets in the way a bit and doesn't help the microphonics, but it bothers some people more than others.

It's way too long. Also, as it is memory cable, it is also a bit hard. This basically means that there isn't an easy angle or way to push the cable. It's very awkward.

How do these sound on rock music and alternative?

I took the filters out of my R3s and they now sound much better - stunning in fact.

Did anyone else notice that they sound muffled with the foam tips? They were the only ones i could get to fit comfortably yet they just did not sound as good.

Yes, but then foam tips suck the life out of all IEMs.

The new r3's do not have wire on the ear pieces, so they are a pain to fit.  The cable is heavy and has a connector piece about 4 inches from where the cable connects to the main body.  They are extremely difficult to connect over the ear, and a little too heavy to connect under the ear.  While these came free with my ibasso dx50, part of me wonders if they were putting them in the package to clear stock.

The R3 does definitely need a thinner cable.  It can definitely be burdensome :/

Well, I am still struggling to get these to fit properly.  However, I am now using the foam tips provided from another brainwavz purchase and they fit better but it is still a struggle - and I did not really want to use foamies.  However the other single and biflange tips just fall out due to the weight of the earpiece.  I find it a constant reapply due to losing the seal.  I am liking the sound, but the fit is terrible.  The store I purchased them from did not seem to care to much, however.  shame, as I have always had good dealings with them in the past.

That is a shame as I haven't had any fit problems
 
Yeah, they seem awkward, but once they are in, you barely notice them.

Hi There - just got the R3 supercheap second hand.... I usually like bright and slightly v-shaped sounds... so this one doesn't sound overly interesting to me... somewhat muffled.... in case I wanted to try - how do you remove the 'filter'?
cheers
