The vent is between the black rubber stem and pointy plastic casing (the side without the lettering). I finally found it. It's a pretty decent size vent to be hidden so well.

I don't think it is indicative of a bad set.  Some models of phones are known to have more driver flex than others.  I believe non-vented sets will be more prone to it than vented.  I think the FXT90's have very small vents towards the back of the housings.  If it was vented more, I'd suspect driver flex would be nill.  I returned the one set b/c it did it if I moved the housing in the slightest and I could hear it over the music.  It made it impossible to make much movement without hearing it.



Hi shotgunshane, I recieved my L2 yesterday and having driver flex on the right driver with medium stock tips but not with the small tips. In your experience do you think whether driver flex will have any undesirable effects on the phone.

Sometimes, customs open the parcels and check if the value of the goods worth the price marked.

No, I don't think so unless it is severe and affects the sound like i2ehan described.  Other than that is just an annoyance.  If the annoyance is minor and you can live with it, it shouldn't be anything to be concerned about.  It occurs from pressure build up between your ear and the driver and usually vents let that pressure out.  If you can find other tips that sound just as good but don't aid the pressure build up, then you are good to go.

Find a high quality recording of Tower of Power's "You're Still A Young Man...." The layering of the instrumentation is something else in these FXT90s!! Loving it!



Man, I'm loving Tower of Power right now - 'Souled Out' and 'It Really Doesn't Matter' sound fantastic in FLAC through my M-stage and FXT90s - Just tried the Miracles as a comparison and the FXT's are jealous and sobbing in the corner - I forgot how amazing these UM's are...
