Hissing may cause by the music source or the player itself. I don't think rev33 can reduce hiss from these 2 sources, but something that you can't hear but may damage your ears, according to my understanding. But i think it is a good device to help with your ear's life and maybe the headphone itself. I cant tell much different using it or not, but after listening with rev33 i feel better with my ears, thats what i think.

According to their communication, it takes out some interfering "noise" (from your headphones, your cable, etc.) without altering or processing in any manner the music itself. For example, the interferences which come from the drivers of your earphones moving.
It is something you connect to your DAP and you connect the earphones to the Rev33. There are several models of Rev33 depending on the earphones as they are tuned in a different manner depending on your earphones.
 
I believe it is firstly addressed to the musicians who perform on stage with earphones and that is why I am very curious to know how it behaves for casual or audiophile listening.

We do not know if the device is actually working, unless we have professional device to check if any frequency or current changes after using the device. What I talk about is my feeling, just my through. Also reducing ear fatigue doesn't mean that it will protect your ear, unless there are some proof of it.

Hey guys. I have a beautiful pair of BA4's with the unfortunate T2 connector. It seems that where the connector is on my right CIEM has been stressing the connector on the cable side as I've been through 5 cables all with the right side failing.
 
Anyone got any advice to shed on this? I can't quite justify spending another £80 for a new cable and a £175 reshell + cable is hella expensive for a BA4, I feel like at that cost I should just go get new CIEMS somewhere

No advice just to let you know that I feel for you, I have had to change 2 cables and I have been treating the 3rd like a baby since. Despite of that the right connector is on its last legs on my CE6B and I am considering a reshell at some point to get the normal connector. I have been using them less and less because of that and it is a shame because they are fantastic however I just like you cannot justify the near £200 reshell fee and cable.

Some comfort in knowing I'm not the only one. It's a shame, the connector looks really nice, but it seems to be more important as to where this connector is places as the cables parts seem to not be quite up to the job, At least you've realised this at 2 cables. It took me 5 cables to realise. If I had a ce6 I'd get a reshell done, but for a BA4 the cost of a reshell vs what I originally paid isn't that much so it's a lot harder, I'm more tempted to throw em and explore something else.

That situation is too bad :/

I still have my CE6P in their lab (in the context if the 1 month refit guarantee). It should have the 2-Pin recessed connector, is their any particular known weakness with those ?

 

[daftpolecat]

You should be fine, 2 pin has long been the industry standard

Debatable, but I think better than mmcx which can become loose

 

[Kangeki]

Ok, thank you, I am reassured. I am already surviving with spare low quality earphones since February, I would be very sad if the cable was to have a problem as I have not planned any replacement cable

 

[daftpolecat]

You should be fine, I've only had a problem with the ciem side of the 2 pin, but that was before Cosmic did them recessed, it looks far better these days

Nice ! And thank you for the explanation, I actually didn't know why they were called "recessed"

Happy to be of any help

Has anyone here had experience with any other CIEM manufacturers? 
 
I've had 3 pairs of CIEMS from Cosmic, all with major issues and have been without one of my pairs since 2014 (They lost track of them). So understandably I don't really want to throw away any more money, however having had CIEMS I can't really imagine going back to universals and it's something I used almost every single day. Now having gone weeks without music I'm really feeling the need to get moving to get my music back!
 
Any help would be awesome
