No I just copied and pasted what Flare Audio mentioned on their kickstarter comment page.
I've worn mine both ways. However when going over ear, the cable is a little short to reach to my pocket, when used as in-ears on stage. So in that case I go cable down.
Fwiw demo units didn't have the splitter thing. Just a basic y. They're suppose to send one for my pros. But if they're that big, I may leave it off. And I'm sure there will be a way to take it off.
Besides the splitter being marked for left and right, I am fairly certain Davies said there was a bump on the left unit. It is to aid the visually impaired, and allow proper channel id and fitting in low or no light. Mine arrive monday. Seems so long off.
Got my shipping notice. Anyone in Asia received them yet?

Just received my R2PROs (I'm in Germany). Straight out of the box into my ears with medium tips and AK100 Mk2 as source. Very first impressions. The heavy and big Y splitter is something strange I haven't experienced before in IEM world. To be honest I really don't get its purpose. Bass is mighty, I would say sometimes overpowering with bass heavy electronica. Highs are smooth and never sibilant. Mids are clear but not the most detailed. The sound is big, if I can say so, like produced by full size cans. The sound signature somehow reminds me of Ultrasone Signature Pro headphones, except that Sig Pros' bass is tighter and overall better organized. Yes, I would call them bass heavy IEMs with a light midbass hump to give music a flesh. Maybe I have received R2A as the only references are Flare Audio logo and letters L and R on the splitter. Let's see if running in will bring some changes.
