In an odd turn of events, The asg-1(rev1.2) I sold are staying with me, and probably getting sent back to dale. I was about to ship them to the buyer, and as I looked from the outside into the otterbox, I couldnt resist trying the montiors.... I popped them in and went on a bike ride averaging about 17MPH constant. Wouldn't you know it.... The left channel is about is absolutely off the wall. It let in absolutely ALL ambient noise. The bass is 35% more powerful on that channel(all of this is with a perfect seal.) The right channel sounds good...
I should have just gotten the as-1b customs and forked out the cash money. Now I'm going to end up jumping through hoops to refund this guy's payment, get the asg-1s fixed. Ugh... I really wanted me or the Steve(the buyer) to enjoy them, but neither of us can. The one thing I will say is. The right monitor is the most full sounding aurally pleasing sound I have heard in a long time.
If only I could afford the Custom Monitors.
EDIT: I have also decided to do a little DIY Custom Fit Monitor, Using Radian Custom EarPlug Molds. Considering that the asg-1 fits flush inside of the ear. I Am going to Try to make a full Custom IEM as this gentleman did:

I expect this to work well, as I have done it before with shure SE435, and it worked like a charm aside from the iems sticking fairly far out of the ear. I anticipate this to be a bit easier due to the natural fit of the asg-1s how it contours perfectly to the ear. I will post pictures and a guide on how to do it(how I did it)
