There is, and always will be differences of opinion,whether cables make a difference, or not. I don't detect any,BUT, that does not mean that there are not, ONLY that I don't hear them.

Cable material changes tonality warm/neutral/bright/sparkly thus impacting synergy with tone of iem depending what sound you go for.Whether they change the quality of sound as in more detail/clarity e.t.c  that's debatable imo.

been playing with filter combinations.
blue filter mod - thats for kids..
 
best combo(for me):
no filter + blue filter foam inserted in the empty tube (the metal tube in which u'll put the actual filters).
 
OMG what a sound stage/clarity + thumping beautiful bass. really shows what these bad boys can do.
its like the gear VR of sound..u'll be sucked right in..
 
** no worries all is easily reversable to stock mode.
 
please post you're thoughts if u've tried this before or just now

There's quite a few, but the Andromeda is a contender at any price point in my opinion. Not every category favors the Andromeda, but is nonetheless a thoroughly engaging sound to my ears.

Can you explain "catagory?" I've had a pair of these sitting in my Shopping Cart more than a few times in the last couple of months

Mainly, fit. As for the rest of the sound, it's all debatable. I'll have a full comparison in my upcoming Andromeda review.

what EQ settings are others running ?
 
I mostly listen using Samsung Galaxy TabS 10.5, and NEUTRON player for Android, 64bit processing, with dithering.
EQ: freq 35hz, gain 8dB, Q 1.0 (parametric eq)
 
I own 2 very good 12" sealed subs, and I notice some bottom end notes are almost missing from some tracks, even with the black tubes.
