Instructions unclear, sold the mic and bought a new onepick it up and drop it again , cause after the edit my post is even more mic-dropping
Putting us all to shame hereMy Lime Ears Aether turned five-years-old this past January. I'd love to see some of the new guys beat that.
I received my Kaiser Encore (first CIEM over $1K) in January '17, now is mostly collecting dust, but still fit me perfectly.

These 4 are flexing their age lol especially the SE215JH Audio LAYLA Carbon - 2 months shy of 6 years (This was my first true taste of what a TOTL IEM)
Shure SE846 - A little over 6 years (I thought this would be my endgame. boy was I so wrong about that )
Sony XBA-H3 - 3 months shy of 7 years lol (Takes the cake being my usual EDC alongside what’s above)
Shure SE215 - closing in to 10 years (My first set of IEMs. I still listen to it from time to time, but doesn’t see as much use as the one above sadly)

Ha! 'Totally missed your Layla's upcoming 6th anniversary. You should definitely consider getting a custom one, especially with JH's continuously-expanding, increasingly-tempting design options. If we're counting universals as well, my Zero Audio Doppio and Duoza are approaching 7 years... collecting dust in my IEM drawer.

It’s getting close man lolHa! 'Totally missed your Layla's upcoming 6th anniversary.

And their design options are definitely tempting. But the price on the other hand tho...
I just wish I just went and gotten a custom at the get go. But that would’ve meant the great @KuroKitsu wouldn’t have had the chance to try them. But then again, I was able to force fit his custom A3 fairly comfortably. So it might’ve worked either way

Looking at my list of uncontentment, I gotta do something to justify me to myself. I also blame 64 for making such gosh darn good customsIt’s getting close man lol

To my ears, they’ve slipped down the order compared to other newer TOTLs, so it’s time to move onOh man, I still haven’t heard the 335. How were they?

Man, I still wanna hear them. I’ve been a fan of FitEar since I heard the TG334. Especially the Titan and the new DC.To my ears, they’ve slipped down the order compared to other newer TOTLs, so it’s time to move on
