I am considering buying a pair of rha ma750 cuz my tdk ba200 has lost its voice. I love the sound signature of the tdk very much. Will I get a similar sound or feel with the rha ma 750? Or will the rha t10 be a better option?

Just wanted to say that I tried MA750 + Sony Foam-filled Hybrid tips, and it solved my problem of MA750 popping out of my ears. Love those foam-filled hybrids and use them on several IEM now

Which ones exactly do you mean, and where can I buy them?  Do they fit on the nozzle snuggly?  I've been using the TS-200 comply ones, they're ok but the durability and expense really annoys me

You have to buy from Amazon.jp. Thanks Sony

Oh wow, I'll look into it, thanks.  Do they last you a few months before degrading?  My biggest problem with the comply is they only last me about 2 months of occasional use

Oh yeah. I've had some on my TPEOS Altone200 for a year now. The exterior is basically the same as the single flange RHA tips but Sony's version. The foam inside isn't memory foam, so there's no rolling involved. You just shove 'em in and maybe twist a tiny bit to settle them in and you're done.

The thing that degrades them is taking them on and off. I've done that for some tip rolling and noticed that the foam is looser inside the tip, so avoid too much of that.

Great thanks again.  I don't do much tip switching, I'll look into purchasing them, and just keep them installed the whole time

Cool. Report back on how you like them. There are several of us who really like those tips and wish Sony sold then in the US.

I used the Tenso forwarding company to get mine to the US.

Bob at Trinity Audio over in the UK is looking into manufacturing foam-filled hybrids.

Another choice to look into is SpinFit tips. Some people prefer those, but I really like the foam-filled hybrids better.

Hello, when I opened my newly ordered ma750s from Amazon(Germany), I discovered that there was some hair  in it. There seems to be fingerprints on the back of the earpieces too. I assume that Amazon only sells new products(unopened ones)?

That's weird, if you bought a "new" pair there shouldn't be any signs of it being opened before.  I guess it's possible those happened at the factory, but they very well could have been opened.  Any other signs of use?
 
This actually happened to me 2 weeks ago with a different pair of headphones, the box was obviously opened before and cables were not wrapped in their baggies.  I complained and they gave me 20% off.  Worth a shot?

Did you purchase a "new" pair off Amazon as well? If so which Amazon.

Yes they were listed as a new pair. American Amazon, it was from a third party but "fulfilled and shipped by Amazon" so the customer service still goes through actual Amazon, which is nice. They offered me an exchange or a 20 percent refund, I took the refund because they otherwise looked good.

This is really lame from the third-party seller. I have never ordered from Amazon before(I am from The Netherlands) but I have heard about their great customer services. In this case, Amazon takes loss while the third-party seller is at fault.
 
I have just requested for a replacement but somehow Amazon.de has signaled for a refund....... just sent them a mail too, will see what happens. Thank you for sharing your story PoochZag
