oops
They asked me to ship within Canada with a tracking number. The headphone I returned was not Soundcore but a 1More SonoFlow - I decided to keep the Soundcore Q45 over it but am having issues with air pressure affecting the bass whenever I shake my head around (I don't know if this is systemic or a defect). I've heard Amazon will send out a "we're concerned" warning if you do too many regular returns and there are considerations to change this policy soon.My luck with earbuds is horrible, my first pair of soundcore liberty pro 3's would disconnected rapidly when using the app. Soundcore wanted me to send the faulty pair back before they would send the replacement, but I pleaded with them to send the replacement first and they ultimately made an exception. I still paid to ship the faulty pair back to them and was not reimbursed (it was only $5 so I wasn't sweating it). Being that you're in Canada, return shipping is likely going to be more expensive, if you have to ship back to the states? I would just go through Amazon, I wouldn't worry about the fact that you've already returned headphones with them, they have the most excellent customer service in my experience- I always go through the chat and speak to an actual representative, it never fails.
The replacement pair was excellent by the way, but the ATH-TWX9 was calling to me, and my girlfriend really loved the sound of the soundcores, so I just gave them to her. Now I'm earbudless until the replacement ATs come :X
What are some of the consensus best TWS at the $50 USD price point and $100 price point these days? Back when I was looking for some, the SSK BT-03 were the ones to get, but they've been discontinued. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone, any Buss 2 Pro owners with large ear canals could possibly help me?
The Buds 2 Pro are my very first earbuds, I've always been an over ear guy but decided to jump the shark on these for one main reason, gym. I only lift weights, no running, no jumping around, so I didn't really look for "workout specific" buds, from what I've read sound quality tends to lean towards crap.
So, with AutoEQ + my own EQ these sound absolutely fantastic, were a bit too bass/low mid heavy at default but now they're absolutely perfect for my needs!
Now here comes the problem. Apparently I have not only freakishly large ear canals but my right one seems to be substantially different from the left.
The main problem here is when at the gym, the gym music is too frickin loud + barbells dropping on the floor etc, so I need decent ANC. When the B2P work (with Azla SednaEarfit MAX Standard L size) they drown around 80% of all the sound (mainly with music playing) which is fantastic. But here's the issue, my right ear side is constantly losing seal and i mean all the time. The main reason it's a really bad experience is that every 5 mins I can hear tons of low end coming in the right side, which makes everything sound skewed and disorienting, messes with my focus etc.
Here's a brief on all the tips I've tried so far:
Samsung Stock Tips - S is obviously out of the question. M didn't work, no seal, poor fit in app. L worked but doesn't block out enough passively. Right side keeps wanting to come out if I clench my jaw, move head etc.
AZLA SednaEarfit MAX Standard (L) - Heard great things about these and they were right. Sound quality is fantastic, blocks WAY more noise than Stock passively and ANC. Seals very well.... If I'm standing still / barely doing anything. In the gym have to adjust the right side every 5/10 minutes yet again...
AZLA SednaEarfit MAX Standard (ML) - Decided to try the next smaller size from Ls as that could be the culprit on the right ear canal. No dice. App shows "poor fit" always, no matter how much I mess around, can't get a good seal. Useless.
SpinFit CP360 for True Wireless Earbuds - XL - Like the AZLAs, these are 14mm wide and go deeper. (Although comparing them side by side they seem a bit shorter) 8.5mm compared to AZLAs 8mm. They felt great, insane passive isolation which resulted in awesome ANC. Also sound fantastic. But, here's the but, right ear canal, yet again, kept losing seal at the gym. These are with the XLs, so decided to try the L which is 13mm wide. Get a poor fit in the app 100% of the time, doesn't properly seal on both ears.
Comply Designed For Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro - Got these today. Can't get a good fit with both M and L, doesn't block anything, tons of sound/air coming through. Ear Fit test negative 100% of the time :S ***
diofit/Galaxy Buds2 Pro MultiFlange - Not good. None of the sizes seal at all. On both ears.
Anyone have any idea what else I can try? The Azlas Max Standard are 95% perfect, just my damn right ear canal seems larger/shaped differently. If they were perhaps slightly larger in diameter it would help, I don't know. Can't even fit comply foam ones which is insane.
The Sony Hybrid extra large for you larger ear and the large size for the other ear might do the trick.Hi everyone, any Buss 2 Pro owners with large ear canals could possibly help me?

I have the MW07 and really like the sound signature. However, I cannot get a good fit because the body of the IEM prevents reaching acceptable depth of insertion into the ear canal. Or you could say the length of the stem for the ear tip is too short to get proper depth. So I cannot get a good seal and thus that prevents achieving a good bass response.
I also have the Liberty 2 Pro and like them as well, but I think the MW07 is a little more coherent and balanced and inline with my tastes? However, I find them hard to get a good insertion depth as well, similar to the MW07.
For those familiar with the MW07, what BT earphones have at least a similar sound or better, but are easier to get a better fit with deeper ear tip insertion? I like good treble, the MW07 delivers and I do not consider myself a basshead and I like a somewhat balanced and fast sound with good impact, that is the way I would describe the MW07, imo.
I'm willing to spend whatever it takes to get decent sound.
EDIT: It appears the MW08 has a slightly differently shaped body that may possibly make a deeper fit possible? Does anyone have any experience in that being the case?
Maybe the L3pro would be an option as well?
Tough to answer. There are so many that are even better than those MW07. Personally, I would check out the last few pages of this chain. You'll see the ones we've been chatting about. Usually, new releases. The Audio Technica ATH-TWX9, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Bose QCII, B&O EX, AirPods Pro 2 and more. I do think these are all better than the old MW07. Fit, form and function is much better. I have all the above and enjoy them immensely. The newer MW08 is great, but imo the others are better. The TWS keeps getting better. Hope this helps and is a start for you. Others might chime in as well...Sorry for being redundant, but I was hoping someone might be able to help, especially for what is bolded.
TIA!
Thank you! I'm definitely gonna try this! I've noticed that, very rarely when annoyed at the gym with the right side fit I press the bud against my ear, thus shoving the tip further and it's more often than not worse. So this makes sense!Try the Azlas again with the tip below (regarding pulling of earlobe) -
"You don't just jam them in there, though. You have to properly seat them in your ears. Here's a fail-safe method:
Start by placing the tips in your ears and pushing them in just a little bit. Then, use both hands to seal them up. For your left ear, reach up with your right hand and grab your left earlobe. Pull the lobe downwards a little to widen your ear canal. Then, use your left index finger to gently push the tip further into your ear. Don't shove it all the way in, but far enough to where you feel the seal. Finally, let go of your earlobe. Your ear canal returns to its normal size, and you'll feel the seal tighten. Now do the same for your other ear"
I used to have similar issues with fit on one side until I tried the earlobe-pulling method.
Also, there's a possibility that your right canal is not larger but just shaped different.
I also tried sizing up/down before but it didn't work. In the end, I just went back to my regular size and used the earlobe pulling method, which was perfect.
The Sony Hybrid extra large for you larger ear and the large size for the other ear might do the trick.
Comply foam tips might be another option.
