ravissimo, can you tell us about any changes in sound after the reshell? I know you didnt get a good fit, but did you hear anything different?

so.... to my ear, there were two main differences. I'm not too experienced in explaining the differences using accurate terminology, so if what I say doesn't make sense, I'll try to clarify.
For me, the bass seemed more
intense. I'm not sure whether that would be considered "more bass". what I mean is that it didn't change the overall equalization of the phones, and the bass didn't overwhelm the mids or treble. It makes sense that this is just from the fact that the tips of the customs are further in your ear compared to the universal casing. that's my guess at least. Some of the songs on my playlist that I noticed this are the black eyed peas - hey mama, massive attack - angel, a perfect circle - passive, stp - all in the suit, tool - vicarious (sounds amazing), wolfmother - woman.
the other thing I noticed was the clarity of the treble. again, it didn't change the equalization at all, it just seemed that the treble was more "open" and had a larger soundstage. again, a few songs i noticed this in... massive attack - angel (great 'reference' song), default - all is forgiven, muse - starlight, live - dam at otter creek, remy zero - gramarye all sounded particularly more detailed in the highs.
The universal shell was too big to comfortably fit well at all. if you look at the pictures i posted before, you can see that they taper all the way down to the tip. so overall, there was no significant change in the sound signature for me. the few small changes were welcomed.
