Yeah they do fit quite deeper and tighter than both my Phantom and VE8 but I do like it... as you say everyone is different, I am blessed with straightforward and wide canals... I think you can ask for a more relaxed fit, if you feel any pressure or pain points you might need a refit.
You’re right, they like power or I suspect we tend to push volume a bit more given their non fatiguing signature. One thing for sure is that the driver count is something you totally forget here, and this is a credit to the tuning. This kind of smooth, organic and subtle tuning is not something you find easily so it’s distinctive already. The tech and innovation sure helps as well but that’s just an enabler. The Black are not there to show off yet they have an innate seductive quality...
Thanks for the feedback. I'm quite glad that if anything the fit it tighter and not completely loose or the shape is wrong. Unless there's strong discomfort right away your ears will slightly adjust and expand, and in a week the fit should feel about normal.So been wearing my blacks at work today (where I tend to do 99% of my listening) and at first it was a little bit mixed. Then I had a bit of an eureka moment and think I've figured out the fit now (I hope). Since then been mighty impressed with the one single ba in there. Been running them out of my hiby r6 and they do like a bit of power. One thing of note is that my ears certainly don't feel as fried as when using universals atm.
If I had one comment to make about fit it's perhaps offer a "comfortable" option at ordering and back the length of the canal off just a fraction? Of course it's going to vary from person to person, but it's going to take just a little time to get used to how deep these go (!). Had Magnums "Sacred Blood, Divine Lies"album on and sounding pretty damn good.

In regards to the canals - I personally designed your shells, sanded and lacquered them since in our team I had most the most experience with your fitting issues and like I wrote you in the email we were trying to address all the issues at once, to avoid any extra refits. Basically your ear canals have very uneven shape but they are straight and if you take a closer look there's very specific angle at which the tip of the canal is ending. I also left a bit of the "notch" at the end to make sure that the IEM has a sort of a hook - that way when you move around the IEM should hold tight in place.
In most cases we do moderate length of the ear canal but past the second bend, straight canals need to be a bit deeper while curved can be shorter.
Looking good @davidcotton! Shaped and tuned by the man himself no less. Please keep us updated as you have more time with them. Due to the time zone difference between here and Poland, the thing that often wakes me up is, "Do I have an email from CA today?" I know I'm a little early on the eight week timetable (week 6 maybe?) but hope burns bright.Here you go, some non amazing shots :-
Can tell it's a better fit than I have had due to the simple fact the cable routes over and behind the ear much easier. Most of the time it would go up and over which isn't as comfortable.
In ear left and right :-
Ciems themselves :-
Also had another eureka moment as to why these felt different. They are of course acrylic! I'd been used to silicone for both the ear plugs and tips I had done and forgotten to take that into account (yes I'm a dumbass sometimes!).

I can tell you how long it will feel like: eternity + a day. <breaks F5 refresh key on keyboard>Just curious what the ship times are between europe and honolulu?
Thanks.
Re e-mails and shipping it's the hope that kills isn't? Not having a phone (so shoot me!) and not having much internet access at work I have to wait till evening before checking mails.
I can't hate you for not having a phone. Now, your wife on the other hand... That's a different story.
