Does that mean the M9 is similar to the W80's? I find Andromeda are ok for fit but they soon work loose when moving about.

Have you tried the AZLA Xelastic?
I have them on my Andromeda and they are not coming out of my ears unless I want them out.
In terms of fit, W80 is still a little better, but M9 >> Andromeda for me, and with stock tips i can wear it for the long time with no discomfort.

Haven't tried those, thanks.
I meant in sound as you mention the word boring for both.
No, i don't find any of them boring at all, but i've read this about M9 plenty of times.
W80: laidback, relaxed, veiled Westone house sound
M9: warm neutral, even a little thick sounding sometimes, but with great separation and layering
Andro 2019: airy, holographic, a little harsh in the treble, a bit on a bass light side, exciting, but doesn't work so well with some of my music
Seeing as the Andros are fully sealed IEMs, does any one experienced pressure inside the ear canals like what was described by users of the Sony M9? Looking to get one soon.
I havent had any issue for using them for around five years.
Done a bit of tip rolling and early on settled on the JVC Spiral Dots.
extra notes:
With IEMs i generally roll them into place in a circular motion, usually pushing to one side of the ear canal to let out any extra air.
if i feel any pressure or a not correct i sertion or seal i find pushing them to one side and rotate until i find the sweet spot helps.
for troublesome iems that do have more chance of driver flex or pressure i usually do the proper insertion method of lifting my ear vertically up by holding the upper most top part of the ear and pulling back. This opens up the ear canal more. Then insert iems. If any pressure exists, i move them side to side (tip) until it feels right.

sooo..... third(?) time lucky? haha. You had the 2020 and then the MW10 didn't you? I can imagine the Andro would play well with the M8.So this happened.
Yes sir. To be fair when I sold the 2020 it was mostly to recover funds and not because I didn't like or had grown tired of the IEMs. MW10 was nice but I think I prefer the 2020 overall. I'm mostly looking forward to a/b'ing it with what I own now plus the VE8 & B2 Dusk I presently have on the way.

That will be a hell of a shootout given their sound signature similarities. You could capitalise on that well for your thread! I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Andro is going to have better treble extension than both, better imaging and a wider soundstage but the VE8 is more intricate and emotive in the mids. I am curious to hear the 2020... I had a chance to grab one a couple months back for around £500 which I regret now.
Yeah I'm hoping to be able to devote sufficient time to make it happen.
Yeah for sure. Than both the VE8 and the Dusk? I could see that. The thing that's kept Andro 2020 alive in my mind despite everything I've heard since owing one is that air, sparkle and coherence. I had the MW10 on hand when I had the VE8 tour unit last December. At the time I thought the VE8 was something of a richer, darker, more intimate Andromeda (than the MW10, which is something of a weightier sounding 2020). I would agree that the VE8 is more emotive in the mids but as I said it's the air and sparkle that lured me back. If only you lived in Canada...or even the US...we could to an Ely&Andro for Odin swap.
Yeah would be curious to hear your thoughts on Odin as well as obviously getting to hear Ely. Still no word on the Odin loaner tour on your end?
Thats a shame! I find it quite addictive and the others aren't getting much eartime. Hopefully someone will be able to do a couple weeks trade with you in the future.
