I'm pretty sure you feel they're much better than the KZs now. Hahaha
Oh sure.... NOW.
VERY tip-dependent 'phones.
Don't laugh, I still like KZ's for the $$$$.

Some things I've found with tips selection for R2s
- They don't need to be deeply inserted, in fact I think the soundstage suffers with deep insertion and the sound becomes very in your face (tried with the half comply mod from the R2PRO appreciation thread)
- Instead, the tips needs to completely close your outer ear canals (doesn't matter if it's silicone or foam), this is absolutely necessary from what I've gathered and #1 point that would make or break the sound. Probably have to do with pressure balanced design.
CMIIW but, due to this I need to use tips that are one size bigger than what I normally use (M to L) to get good sound, however, the best tips I've found so far is Spinfit Medium with comply foam mod to hold the outer flanges in place so it blocks my outer ear canals. I don't have Spinfit L to see if it's even better unfortunately.
As always, your mileage may vary...
How very phallic
I hope the flare team do pay some attention to this thread. I too am still waiting and its getting tiresome hearing about delays 3rd hand.
It is a painful contrast to their competitors over at trinity audio who had their kickstarter project running pretty much at the same time. Delays may be inevitable but their main man is constantly on the thread showing good humour and promoting the qualities of his products.
If naomi in PR could possibly do a little more for the poor frustrated wannnba owners out here , it would make the world a better place for the unluckiest backers so far. Maybe even an extra gift pack for the poor sod who gets their reward last of all. Just a thought (before the angry mob reach for their pitchforks!)
Though I have my R2As I did get a message today from Flare's Kickstarter explaining that production was slowed down by a manufacturing problem that has since been repaired. I think those who haven't gotten their earphones yet have to 'hurry up and wait'. Also, please note I joined the Kickstarter for Trinity before I did Flare and I haven't gotten those yet. What am I doing about it? Waiting.
Remember a Kickstarter isn't to fund a product that already exists in quantity in a warehouse. After they get the money they have to build it, package it and send it. The process can sometimes be complicated and things can and will go wrong.
If a company is doing their best to fulfill their obligations then all that's called for is patience.
The difference between Flare and Trinity is that Flare is an all ready established Company with large manufacturing capabilities. Bob's (Trinity) is a start from Scratch new company.
TWIN
To be fair Trinity is an offshot of Rock Jaw right? Just saying Bob was part of it till he decided to do a side thing. Anyway, regardless, it sucks to wait no two ways about it. Thank god they are not like LH Labs atleast
