Does anyone know what the exact pin diameter (in mm) the standard 2-pin cables from Inearz use? I recently got an aftermarket cable from BTG for some CIEMs I had shelled a couple months ago. The cable works but the pins are not quite as snug and can come out easily where as the cable that came with my reshell is nice and secure. I had perhaps naively assumed that the 2-pin setup was a standard that would be the same but now I'm not so sure that is the case. After looking on the internet, it seems that the size can sometimes vary very slightly by manufacturer.
In retrospect, I probably should have sprung for recessed sockets and I will probably regret my decision not to spend the extra dollars for that option.
I e-mailed to inquire but have not heard back.
I don't own a JH16, but I was more under the impression that the driver was placed much farther back. From the angle, it seems as if the HF is still placed much closer that where I understood it's placed on the FP, but due to your ear shape and canal depth, perhaps that was the best location to place it at.
Any post or guide about how to check if you got a perfect fit?
Has anyone had a Savant universal re-shelled yet? Kind of interested in hearing some impressions since this is far cheaper than getting the CIEM version from Noble themselves.
In my honest opinion, considering I reviewed and continue using Savant and also a big fan of Inearz re-shell work, PLEASE do not re-shell universal SavantIt has one of the most comfortable universal designs with custom-like fitment, probably second to Westone, imho.
Please note: there is in mm a 78mm 2 pin and a 75mm 2 pin. That said the 78's are the norm for almost 99.3% of the time bur i gave ran accross a few that were 75 and by naked eye you would swear they are the same!2-pin connection is indeed universal, so in theory it should fit with any aftermarket cable. It's true that recessed socket is more secure, but a number of aftermarket cables don't support it (their connector housing is wider). Plus, with a recessed socket if you are planning to remove cable - often you need to use pliers to get a good grip because housing of the connector is recessed.
Typically, if your 2-pin connector is a bit loose, you just bend pins a tiny bit (just a slight touch) and it will enable a more secure connection.
