Does anyone else hear a sizzling noise from hi-hats/cymbals on their ER4XR (or other IEMs) with a very slow decay?

I've started to hear it on my ER4XR after burn-in.

It's particularly noticeable on this track: Radiohead - Burn the Witch:

I've tested it on my other IEMs (GR07, Campfire Comets, RE-400) and while the sizzle is there, it does't linger like the ER.

I brought it in-store to a small music boutique and found out it was a tip issue. I switched to the tri-fangles stock tips (from the Shure olive tips) and did not hear the sizzling from the hi-hats/cymbals anymore. Just a heads up for anyone.
