My portable workout rig today.

 

[surfratt]

Above rig: Lotoo Paw Pico > Ares II cable > Heir Audio 3.Ai. Went through many bluetooth headphones connected to my old iPhone 6, but too many drop outs while working out and killed 2 headphones due to sweat.. Broke out my old trusty Paw Pico.. Sounds much better than my Bluetooth rig.

I was never happy with rubber bands attaching my devices and covering some portion of the screen. To get away from them, I experimented with magnets. Here’s one of my rigs that I’m very pleased with. Very slim profile, no magnetic interference and units will stay together though an earthquake.

The Quloos QLS QA3461 is one powerful DAP and actually manhandles the Sendy Audio Aiva... a beautiful pair of Headphones

Where did you get those magnets dude?

I recant and take back my statement that full sized headphones are better sonically than IEMs. I went to a doctor recently and they cleaned the wax out of my ears. Before that procedure, all IEMs I've put in my ears sounded muddy to me, the Westone UM3Xs most especially. After the cleansing (lol) though? The UM3Xs sound drop dead gorgeous and bests all the headphones I own including full-sized cans. I had so much wax in my ears, it ruined IEMs for me.

So there you have it, folks. Clean your friggin' ears!

On another topic: what are affordable upgrades to the Westone UM3X? Do any of you guys remember this little gem? Do any of you still own it? My God, the mids on these sound divine!

Not even cleaning your ears after a shower?
All the years of wax build up inside your ears? Need a doctor to clean out your ears?
One word. Yikes.......

 

[dissembled]

Not all wax is cleanable after showering since some are deep inside the ear canal, so a superficial cleaning simply isn't enough. Duh?

Those magnets are awesome

They are basic 1.26" (0.08 thick) neodymium magnets. I believe they are N52 versions. Here's a link to the ones I prefer after testing a lot of different thicknesses and strengths.

I bought some high quality vinyl wrap (the kind you wrap cars with) to match whatever I was putting the magnet on.

Does that Beat Audio cable look familiar?

That doesn't fully add up mate unless I am missing something. The wax buildup would have equally interfered with the sound waves coming from your full sized headphones so their sound quality would have been equally impacted and transitively their sound should have improved just as much.
