I think the fit thing is an issue with all earbuds, given that they're all almost identical in shape/size. Did you get the $5 dollar bud or the $10 pack with the extra accessories? Will be picking mine up tomorrow hoping they sit nicely with the ear guide kind of thing. 
 
 
@xEcuToR that's crazy USD 20k for a stack, wonder what his home setup up will be like !

I've purchased 5$ variant without additional accessories as they were not in stock back then,I'll suggest you to get the 10$ variant and see if that helps to improve the fit.
Unfortunately right now they are out of stock...

Stacking amplifiers on top of one another to get better SQ,  doesn't sound like a smart thing to do. Think of the clipping, phase distortion, harmonic distortion, which will be caused when sound goes through that many amp stages. But I guess it doesn't matter to him as he won't even notice all that, cause he uses it in the subway and on top of it with an open Pioneer SE-1 Master cans. Brilliant!!

On a separate note, check this out. I don' know what to call this, even audiophiles or portable audiophiles/enthusiasts might find this an overkill. 


Overkill, 'maybe'?

To put it mildly, and from my lowly vantage point, this is absolutely hilarious. Almost dropped to the floor, along with my phone.

Call me an un-believer, but I humbly wonder how on planet earth would this seven device stack be worth its sound, all during a two hour suburban commute.
Ah, these Japanese. No wonder the Sun chose their place to rise and shine.

  I'm also from India.I'm living in Gujarat.Have bought RHA 750,VE MONK and waiting for SHOZY ZERO....So far I'm highly impressed from the tonalty and synergy of VE MONK...at 5$ they are SUPER DUPER AWESOME...I should also say the 750s are also too good,they're having wider soundstage and better instrument seperation...Using iphone 6s and Macbook pro retina 2015 as a source.

I have a Xiomi piston 3 they are also excellent for their price. They are sold for 350 Rs. (without remote) including shipping. Though their isolation is not that good.
