Talking about the deformed shape, caused by the fact that it's to big.
Could be but it does not fall out. They formed to the shape of my ear canal plus maybe like you say little to big. Hoping the oval shaped ones I ordered will solve this; Eartune Fidelity UBlack / Large / 3 Pairs.

My Xelastec tips deform and at the same time barely seal. (shrug)
Yes they do not work well for me, however everything else all large sizes I have fall out, good seal than after a half hour the right ear loosen and falls out. Probably the weight of the metal shells. If I get lucky I may end up with a great seal with the oval tips and like these even more due to a more consistent seal.

Never had this issue before, the Thummim is closest to this set and no problems with my standard Sedna shorts.

You, my man, may need to indulge in the 16mm "made for Beats" silicon monstrosities I use.
Right now I heterochrome Eden with 1 side Xelastec and one the 16mm.

Hmm I have a CIEM Neon 4 designed and picked out in my cart, I really enjoyed that IEM and it left quite an impression on me. Decisions.
Three is my favorite number.

The rule (or power) of three is an age-old writing technique that implies that things that come in threes are inherently more satisfying and effective to readers. We have a natural, ingrained tendency to gravitate towards and respond positively to things that come in threes.

I was thinking something like this... its quite plain and understated as I want to use the NE4 as an EDC IEM. It's matte grey as opposed to the matte black I got on the XE6.

Good Things Come In Threes
“the rule of three”
(Latin-"omne trium perfectum")
principle suggests things that come in threes are inherently more humorous, satisfying and effective than any other number of things.

So I came across the Ne4 and Xe6. It looks promising and from reviews it is great.
I have tried Fir m4 and m5 but I did not like both. Does the Ne4 and Xe6 have similar tuning ? (from my understand that it is not the same as the “M-series”)

I currently own the fourte and fourte noir and looking for an replacement iem, was looking for EE Odin but the Ne4 and Xe6 caught my eye.

My question is how does the Ne4 compare to fourte/fourte noir. If Im not mistaken the driver and the technology is very similar.

For the Xe6 how does it compare to the EE Odin and fourte noir?

I am selling the fourte and thinking of replacing it with the either Ne4,Xe6 or the Odin.
Thanks in advance!!
