For instance right now I have the Complys on (didn't remember how comfortable they are compared to the silicones) and with no music playing I can make out what people on TV (which is about 1.5 m away from me, @ normal listening volume) are saying, although it obviously sounds muffled. Are they supposed to isolate more? As far as sound is concerned they sound pretty good to me, bass is definitely there... Oh BTW, as for my "insertion" technique, I try to put them in as deep as they will go without causing discomfort (it's kinda weird cause the ear canal seems to make a bend after a bit, so that the earphones go in at an angle), is that right? Please help me get rid of the seal virus!!

There is a Seal Test on Ear monitors, plugs and hearing protectors - Sensaphonics (lower right corner) that I have always found to be helpful.

I also have to tell you I love the t4, I have about 6 hours on it and it works wonders with the pfe. And thats just out of the HO, I need to get a LO dock, but someone got my credit card info and had a spending spree on me

Wow, that sucks. But you aren't liable, right? Just in case you get it under control, I bought my line out cable from LiL' Knight, a great DIYer who charges a fair price for a very high quality Touch LOD cable. You don't need to go to ALO or any other really expensive sellers. I have exactly the same issue with uneven canal size, but once I get the medium silicones "set" the great sound just pours out.

No not liable, just taking a little work to get everything handled. You know how simple everything is with huge banking conglomerates

I was in the process of trying to buy a LO cable when this happened. I have an nice alo cable but it's not wired right for the new ipods, maybe I'll try a DIY fix.

hi tstarn06, i don't know if i remember it correctly that you've written somewhere in this forum that you want to sell a pack of your gray filters...do you still have them? how much does it cost again? will you charge me for shipping cost? i'm from the philippines which is quite far. but you can send it through a registered mail if it's okay with you to avoid shipping cost. just let me know.

 

[tstarn06]

I did say that, but since they only cost me $8, I was just gonna keep them. Are they hard to get there? If so, PM me and I will sell you them at cost plus shipping. They are tiny, so I can send via padded envelope. I can always get more if I need them.

 

[jrazmar]

actually, i was trying to buy from the phonak website but it says it cannot ship to my country which is very sad. that's why i'm trying my luck here if you would sell to me your filters. i think it won't cost you if you will just ship it by regular airmail. i'll just pay our customs here once it arrives at my location. are you amenable to this? do you also have some spare medium silicone tips?

 

[tstarn06]

PM me. Not the place to discuss this. But no, I have no extra medium tips. Only the ones that came with it.

 

[toughnut]

I never know regular airmail is free? Is it? Lol

 

[tstarn06]

Free? What's that? No, I think there is some sort of misinformation there. LOL.

I just ordered my phonaks today. Im hoping they wont dissapoint, after wasting $100 on Shure se210s i made sure that i did plenty of reading into what i was getting. All the great, and intelligent reviews on the forums lead me to believe that the Phonaks would be worth it. Im a student, and spending $150 on headphones is a stretch, but these seem to be a lot of "bang for the buck". Anyone know how they will compare to the se210's?

Also, i placed my order today, how long do they usually take to arrive?

They are better than the SE310 and E4c, and as enjoyable as SE530.

does anyone know if the 14 day trial starts from the payment date or the date you receive it?

 

[jyle_t]

i probably should just search harder, but i'll ask anyway:
how does phonak w/ black filters fare vs SA6, particularly in the bass area? is much of the treble compromised, 'cause im really liking SA6's treble. i use treble++/bass+ btw.

I know your question was aimed at ihatepopupads but i can give you a score as well. Same as ihatepopupads 9/10.

Finding the amp set to bass boost and gain on with the black filters on the pfe's to be a really good set up. Thats with approx 24hrs burn in on the amp.
