Glad they're working out. I usually use mediums. I was using a larger size until I went for a deeper insertion that I actually prefer but there's a limit. James, see if you can stick the biggest ones in far enough to get a seal. If not then there's not much else to do but move on. I really like the stock tips best but then I've also never tried the JVCs. I'm not having any microphonic issues but I consider them over ear phones and only use them as such as I think they work better that way and were probably intended so. Down, I couldn't get them in deep enough with the tips I ended up with as there's some restriction from the strain relief angle. May relate to tip size as I was also using larger ones when and not mindfull of cable orientation early on. I'm also a fan of thinner cables as long as they're not fragile. One thing I thought worse about the new Shures. Would be nice to have some more instruction from Grado about this but at least they make the thing.
I also want to thank you for a long ago discussion about rockbox vs stock firmware. I had a nice synergy going where 2 not quite neutrals were making a good result and your comments had me reconsider my observations and revisit with other bits. I went to known sources not DAP to discover that you were right. On the fuze, I still think Rockbox a bit etched without dither but never the less, better overall and clearly so and no issues dithered.
Like my Ipod touch better but still use the fuze for fun and portability.
