Lol, no kidding.
I wonder how the KC06A would work?

The KC06A seems like it'd be more suited to be worn over ear based on the shape

The nice part of that design is that it can be worn either way but without a cable cinch, I wear it down.

Are they comfortable that way? I mean I've used the SoundMAGIC E10, Carbo Basso and Carbo Tenore and found them all fine comfort wise.

I haven't had any issues but maybe others with it can also chime in.

Ah okay. I'd get the Tenores recabled but I don't know anyone in Europe that can do it nor how much it'd cost.

Yeah, up or down, I find them comfortable.

Might be more cost effective to just get another one.

This is already the 2nd pair I've had and they're probably going to go the same way as my first pair.

Time to buy from other mfr of same/better sounding IEM.....or you can do the re-cabling self,if you little know of wire soldering.....the challenge to you will be opening the shells.....you can try on the first pair to get some real hands on experience tho.....and put that onto the second pair efficiently.....

This is what I'm looking to do but the search is proving difficult.

The Sony EX650 is a really good sounding IEM that is under the radar.

What does it sound like?

Hmmm, vwinter, just saw your sig. Rockets and Heaven V aging? Did I miss your comparison of those two?

 

[DannyBai]

What does it sound like?

Somewhat v shaped but vocals are not sucked out. Reminds me of how the fx850's sound but at a much lesser degree. Has big bass but isn't too boomy. Treble is super sparkly and can have a hint of sibilance on vocals. Has a big sound and there's something unique about the sound which could be due to that brass housing. Excellent build.

I did briefly look at the FX series but was unsure as to which would be better for me in terms of suiting my music tastes and of course comfort (Since the 850 is larger than the 650/750 for example)
