These are still holding up and can be worn for hours with no fatigue and I'm only using a double flange as the inner tube.
Those things look like they convert the fit of an iem to that of a regular earbud. Makes me think it isn't supposed to actually go in your ear just sit on it.
That is what I was thinking. The fit is tight, and it doesn't "give" like a dome-shaped gel would.
the treble on these things shouldn't be piercing at all it is actually imo a rather subdue treble it rolls of pretty quick (now this is stock with just single flanges) the treble is quite laid back imo its alright but not the most revealing but not piercing or siblant at all
okay, maybe i was right - it's not that the treble is painful, it's that i'm just getting a bad seal and overcompensating by making the volume too loud.
I am experimenting with some Shure tips that I have - I really don't like foam. Next step is the double flanges.
I have the Comply T-400 tips and they are starting to hurt my ear canal within an hour of putting them in. Makes me not want to use the buds.
I am terrible at DIY, I would just end up destroying them. So ideas on modding the cord as is, would wrapping the full thing in insulation tape work?
There is also products called plasti dip and rubber dip which would allow me to coat the cord in a thin layer of rubber/plastic but they are expensive for a tub/can.
Using sellotape would cost me less than £1. I only paid £3.50 for them, so I'm not overly bothered but wished the microphonics had been made a lot clearer, people are only focusing on the pro's and not the major con in these IEM's.
I wish I knew the microphonics on these were so bad before ordering them, makes them unusable.
I take it the white version with the rubber cable has no microphonics in comparison?
Can i wrap the cord in insulation tape or sellotape to stop microphonics?
