Mentor kit received from @marklivia

Unfortunately, the Custom Art IEMs aren't a good fit for my ears. The shells are super compact, but the angle of the nozzles aren't really compatible with my ears. I can semi-force them in, but it stretches out my ear and causes discomfort after a few minutes. Either that or the top of the IEM would stick out at an angle. I had this same issue when I owned the Harmony 8.2.

I am looking forward to trying the universals...i have the F5 in CIEM and couldn't be happier with it.

I think it was mentioned previously, but wow, be careful with the Mentor cable/connectors. I just placed the IEMs down on my table and the right side earphone just popped out of the connector. I'm not sure what the point is of having recessed connectors when you can't fully insert the connectors into the sockets. I don't know if this is a QC issue, but I also have a CIEM version of the Mentor waiting to be re-shelled and the connectors on those are loose as well. Has @UniqueMelody ever addressed this issue?

Not officially but it is a known issue with many Mentor owners as well as Indigo owners…seems to be a UM issue..

So I should be fine as long as I don't leave the house and have full carpeting.
Hah! For real!

I swapped in the Brise Yatono Ultimate 4w on my Mentor and it’s super secure

I will follow up this with our crafting team. We have reported this issue on MK2/Indigo to the socket manufacturer. If that is not improving on Mentor. We will figure out an alternative plan.
