How does the ES5 compare to the M-Fidelity SA43?
Have had my ES5 for 2 years and am now thinking of making another ES5 with vinyl tips (original one is acrylic), but is afraid if the vinyl tip will have issues after years. Any vinyl tips ES5 owners could share with me on their experience?
So I've had these for about a week now, and it seems the left monitor is a little looser than it was when I first started using them. Maybe it's a combination of getting used to them, the muscles in my ear adapting to having them in (I've had them in for probably an average of 8-10 hours a day every day), or the earpieces getting more lubricated with use...
Anyway - could do with some advice. The seal seems relatively decent (I can feel it's air tight), but it doesn't seem *as* airtight as the right earpiece, which is pretty good. Also, when listening to music it almost seems like the music is off-centre and tending slightly towards the right side, although this could be my mind playing tricks on me.
The question is - do I go get new moulds taken and send them back into Westone for a refit? I understand I have 90 days to do this, but it takes quite a while for me to get them done (I live in Toronto, so 5 days' shipping each way + time taken to do the remould). Should I not wear the IEMs for a few days to see if it's just my left ear that needs some recovery time?
