I really like how you marked earpiece with this red thingy.
Would you mind telling what is it and where can I get one?
Agreed, but lets not forget that the IE8 effect is mainly due to recessed mids. We tend to associate forward vocals with closeness / intimacy, and recessed vocals with distance / forward projection. The R2Pro's upper mids are quite recessed imo, which makes (particularly female) vocals sound a little warmer and more distant / forward projected than usual.
Later?Btw, note how they not only made the splitter annoyingly heavy, but also squashed the cable sheath in the process (see arrows):
Just listened to those two test tracks. no noticeable sibilance on the first. very tiny amount on the second. Maybe I’m more tolerant of it?
Just didn't quite float your boat huh? Or do you also happen to have the R2Pro?
I'll trade you my Delta's and some money for them
It's just a thin slice cut off a Sony hybrid's tip stem. The red ones are the smallest size and they don't fit my ears, so I use them for other purposes.
Works both as a visual and tactile marking of the right earpiece.
something like that
i edited my post above, brother wants to audition them and see if he wants it. Unless I change my mind and decide not to sell it in the first place LOL. I went back to A/B with my VSD3, Havi and IM50 and I am having second second thoughts on selling it now . What peeved me initially was having to deal with comply and and its not easy as slipping in and out in the ears. But listening to them again and comparing it to whats in my stable (besides the Earbuds and Z5) makes me think long and hard whether I should sell them or not. DAMN IT I thought I was sure I wanted to sell it. Shouldn't have gone for that one last listen
Can anyone tell me if these are genuine sony hybrids? (link), this is the only seller I found that ships to UK.

Here's a link to the genuine Sony hybrids sold by Amazon in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001UE6PBI
Being a long time Etymotic fan, I not only use Comply for full-on isolation, but I use the P series (extra long), which feel like they actually touch my brain! Anyway,
Knowing that the lifespan of the tips is a limited one, a trick I use is to wet (read lick) my fingers and then roll the tips before insertion - this is actually a recommendation in the Ety manual .
This has given me 3 big benefits:
1 They are far easier to insert
2 The make a slightly better seal when they expand
3 They last a lot longer
