^ If I hadn’t lost every accessory my Shure SE946 came with over the past fes years (all I have now is the monitors, HeadphoneLounge copper litz cable and single pair of large Spinfits) and they were newer I’d suggest a trade+extra $$ from me. That’s if you were truly unhappy with the Vegas and they’re definitely not faulty too.
Have you tried different tips? And are they fully burned in?
I, too, am surprised at the "ton of sibilance". It's the lack of sibilance that makes trebles bearable. Cymbals sound amazing to me through Vega. So, I wonder if it's tips or faulty as well. Could just be that much different in our neurological perceptions of sound, too.
Having re-read the post following my morning walk I noticed 100 hours burn-in had been mentioned.
It could indeed be as (not so) simple as neurological perception as HeartofSky said.
Interestingly enough I just love the sound of cymbals from the Shures. I also find the timbre to be on point though others have said it’s not. There must be a point at which graphs and perception part ways.

I know that so much of my perception of sound has change din the past 14 mths, with the use of a certain substance. The alterations in how I perceive sound appear to have had permanent affects, for which I'm very grateful. I was listening to a Sphongle track from Codex VI, on vinyl, recently and there was an amazing cascade of cymbals. So clear and not sibilant to me.
Thanks! Was easy to cut along the twist with my tiny scissors. I can always change my mind and remove the 2nd later. So far, I'm quite enjoying the reduced need to reposition.
Removing the memory wire would be a must for me given the Vega’s unusual fit. Unfortunately though I’m legally blind and I get my brother to do these sorts of things. I’m in Melbourne while he’s in remote Western Australia (1,000km north of Perth).

When I first got into the audio hobby the quantitative vs. subjective debate was raging in the magazines (Stereophile and the Abso!ute Sound). It started with the beginnings of Sterrophile and J. Gordon Holt trying to figure out a way to measure audio gear such that a set of graphs could be used to reliably judge how a piece of equipment would sound. People were happily debating with one another ten years later when I put together a system I was happy with and quit listening to the ruckus. I think the graphs and measurements can serve as a guide, and perhaps even be used in isolation to find gear that is a decent fit for particular tastes. The only way, though, to find the magic, perfect gear, is to listen.
Good thing, too. If data were perfect, we'd all have a pair of Binford 6100 Auditor IEMs and then where would this hobby be?

Im going for another 100hs mark burnin stretch, with the volulme a a little higher. Also ordered some complys (Ive read somewhere else in the thread that it could tame the Vegas).
Lets, check.

Just use a box cutting blade, you can poke the end of the wire through the plastic and pull down on it this will tear through the majorty of the heat shrink, finish the job carfully! with a box cutting blade, the memory wire will pull out of its foundation
