Coustom fit canal phone question

[John2e]

Hi All

Just picked up my sensa 2x's from the doctor.

Are these supposed to have an air tight seal. After 25 minutes or so the right one seems to loose its seal. I get a pop like I just opened a pringels can. Sound seems unaffected execpt it allows some ambient noise to enter. Only noticed during song breaks.

Advice?

I found with mine that if I didn't get it tucked up under that little flap on my outer ear (see picture), it wouldn't stay put for me. Once I get it under there it stays.

So you have a constant air tight seal ?

I wore my 2X-S for a long walk today and I hear what you're talking about. I did get a few off the "pops" you were talking about but never broke the seal. It seemed to happen after my body warmed up a little. My ears were, for lack of a better term, "sweating", really just creating some moisture between the IEM and my outer ear. This is when the pops would happen. Not a big annoyance but something that is happening to me as well.

And yes you should have a constant air tight seal.

Does Oto-Ease not work well the Sensaphonics shell material?

You should have a constant air tight seal.

When I first got mine, I was so anxious I would hear everything even the "pops" when I turn my head or something. However, the seal remains intact even after 4+ hours of use or moving around at the gym. Believe me, you know when you lose the seal.

After using them for months, I don't even hear the pops anymore. I guess I learned not to pay attention to them and just enjoy the sound. Or I learned how to insert them properly.

Give it at least a week.
