Hmmm So I've been mostly listening to IER-Z1R for the past several weeks which I freakin love, and today, I pulled out my old SE846 (spinfit/oriveti affinity 4.4) and did a quick A/B. Switching back after a quick session, the Z1R sounded/felt very unnatural/synthesized with quite recessed mids. I was surprised. Then after 5-10 minutes, they sounded really good again. Now I'm wondering if A/Bing is a good way to audition new IEMs? Once you get used to a certain sound signature, maybe my brain perceives them as right/ideal sound? Or maybe it was just pronounced due to SE846's forward mids? Anyways, it was just weird how wrong Z1Rs sounded for a minute.
I can totally see this happening. I do strongly believe your mind gets used to a sound, and something else sounds off at first listen. That's why quick impressions are meaningless.
I've had the same thing happen when comparing the SE846 to other IEMs. Nothing like those lush mids
Back to the party, released from hospital. My IER-M7 should come tomorrow.
U has a severe retinal detachment that reached the macula. My prognosis is bad I may not work as software developer again. Currently seeing bad all darkned

I also had a retina detachment this year, the macula came off, and the first detachment didn't take so I had another detachment and another eye surgery. I also had a cataract and had to have that removed. I can see but cannot read thru that eye, my other eye is 20/20 corrected. Make sure the first eye surgery is a success, going thru this twice, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, it was horrible. I wish you luck.
Oh I forgot, just ordered my IER-Z1R! Will receive it this Friday. Just know, life goes on, I've been there done that.
Just got these today and after an hour or so of listening I have to return them. The bass is too fatiguing and actually causes a lot of discomfort inside of my ears, the same thing happened to me with the LCDi4 unfortunately

I don’t think a detox won’t get rid of the discomfort or pain. My current headphones are the final audio D8000 and I just came from the empire ears Legend Xs which had way more bass but not nearly as much impact
