"Are those custom made tips? :O"
@getclikinagas
Sure I got a custom-moulded ear tip because of how much I love the ME-21.
Haha, no, it isn't. It would be
way too small for my ears anyway (I've got large ear canals). No, it is the stock tip it came with (I think there was more than one size, but am not 100% sure about that).
I am quite certain that in the 60s, regular ear tips like we know them nowadays weren't invented yet.
Talkin' about the ME-21, it is a crystal transducer in-ear and not meant for high-end or fidelity at all. Extension on both ends is really bad (steep roll-off in the bass and treble), poor level stability (if you like to listen to music at average or even high volume, it won't work and will sound distorted - not much of a problem for me because I usually listen at low levels) and resolution is okay at best. Though, if played at low volume, the upper bass and root lack softness and sound surprisingly arid.
