People who have seen both the black and red/blue in person...which do you prefer? I feel like pics don't do it justice.
Honestly, I bought the black because the red/blue didn't appeal to me visually. But now I'm kind of wishing I reversed my choice. The dots on them to show right & left are so tiny that it takes me like half a minute to find one every time I go to use them. It's my only complaint I have at all for these.

I agree with that and I've found an easy way to remember which might help you.

When I pick them up I hold the shells with the silicone tips facing away, the two 45° angled edges on the outside left and outside right, and I make sure the mmcx connectors are coming out
of the bottom of the shell as I look at them, and not the top. Much easier, never have to look for the dots anymore. :) Like in my photo.

Some of mine I can immediately tell which is which by feel, but the IT01 don't really lend themselves to that. I don't know which thread I originally saw it in, but I've started putting a colored o-ring on one side or the other at the connection. So far this works pretty well.

Edited: Or, even easier, just follow the above recommendation from @DRuM :)

I had taken a marker and put a tiny L & R on them, but that wiped off almost immediately. Could do something else, tiny piece of tape on one side or something.

Same here, that's I added a dot with Tipp-Ex, liquid correction fluid. I now have a large white dot on the right earpiece.

I've been really trying to love these, but I can only say that these are absolutely amazing for music only but nothing else. I watch alot of YouTube and anime and just feel disconnected to everything I play. By disconnected I mean the voices feel far back somewhere, I want it to feel more close to me, im not sure if it's because of the wide soundstage of if it's to do with the mids of these? So unfortunately I might have to consider giving these back and look for something else. It's a shame really as these technically sound monstrous.

Get the ER3/4XR =P Perfect for watching talk video.

Are they suitable for gaming? I'd mainly use them for Music, but being able to use them with my Switch or PC would be awesome

I haven't tried these for gaming but I'd predict that they should be suited as they have a big soundstage. More bigger the soundstage should be able you to locate things easier.

Hi @Nabillion_786,

Sadly, returns only work for US usually though that is not always the case.
Some other companies are able to work things out.

Have you solved your issues with your source ?
Thanks pagandl, your truly special with the way your helping me, I just gave you a nice big reply lol.

I'm from UK btw and I have ordered from Amazon UK. The ones I ordered gave me a month. I think it's advanced MP3 who are selling them on Amazon.

I prefer the red/blue personally as it gives a more vibrant feel.
