No problem hisoundfi

Yeah, I don't have wombat ears either, and B3's are very comfortable and fine for sleeping. I'm offended beyond description! :wink_face:

Sorry chief, didn't mean to offend anyone

then save up more coins,

@tamirci and @nmatheis welcome back

you can try different sized tips appropirate for each earcanal. There are variations in the earcanal sizes of individuals and if your size variation is high -say, a medium size for both earcanal wont fit for one of them-. But if you already tried this, there is no option other than comply tips and/or trying as many different brand/type tips as possible.

Seems like it's more of an odd angle/bend in my right ear, so I have to insert the right earpiece at a more acute angle to get a good seal. I've tried using different sizes, and it almost always pops out after a short time. Left earpiece fits straight in and stays in place well with a good seal. I think I just have a mutant right ear canal, lol.

I think it should be fine if you're using something like DX90 or X5 with high gain. I just like adding the E12 DIY because it's fun to see what different buffer + opamp combinations sound like.

@pss395 your answer is related with your ear size and shape. I can put my head on pillow with B3 but smaller ears may have trouble. The only way to know is trying them...

I've got very small ears and I sleep with Havi all the time. But then again I love her

. Heeey I don't have any ears suchas you describe. Be careful with your descriptions @hisoundfi LOL! )

Our descriptions are nonsense if you don't try yourself. On the general comfort side -they are comfortable for me-

+1, I've got comfort issues with a lot of iem' s but find the very comfortable. If you have problems with them I suggest sitting down with your tip collection and find the right ones.

Hey all, I appreciate all the responses. I forgot to mention that have an O2 at home, but was hoping I could use the Havi on-the-go. I also have a cMoyBB from JDSLabs, but I'm not sure if a Clip+ -> cMoyBB -> Havi would let the Havi reach its full potential. I guess I could sell the GR07 to fund the Havi and save up for a better portable rig...

 

[pss395]

Yeah I think I should go and check out the Havi in person then.
Btw you guy make me feel like the Havi will sound like crap plugging into the ipod shuffle gen 4 what a shame I only have enough money for the Havi

 

[ktan3142]

Well, I just ordered the B3. Hopefully it comes within the week or something (I'm in NY). Super excited to try them out since I've decided to pass on the GR07.

 

[nmatheis]

Ear guides from MEE A161 and M Comply TS400 installed and making B3 much more comfortable for me. Happy to be enjoying them so much .

News Flash!
 
A. Using ak100 proved only subtle changes mainly due to its sound charesterics. Thus I am happy with my ipod nano 7  Will try ipod video in a day or two
B.  While Havi-ing Ain't that correct? I hope its not as its uncomfortable IMO. Running cables over my ears proved disappointing results (bass reduced) Will try with larger double flange tips tomorrow as the box is in my office.
