From what I experienced with Tin C5, it's quite horrible. Bad FR, bad timbral mismatch between the drivers. I've never liked "+1BA" configurations. BA typically just adds a 6k-10k peak overlapping the other full-range driver. It's plain bad.FurGODs wonI can't even see the filters on my novas. How am I supposed to clean or replace them if (when) they get clogged.
Also this stupid cable has nothing but microphonics out the arse.S12 with a medium density+high density foam are kino>>102421239

Inb4 baldI just got new earbuds and they fall out of my ears more than the old ones and I don't know why. Do ears adapt to new earbuds and could that stop them from falling out or not?>>102421506
Try running your ears under warm water first. Human ears are made of cartilage which can be reshaped when heated a bit. Just don't use water that's too hot or you could burn yourself.>>102421307
Because I can (will) just buy another cable. I bought them to listen to not for the cable.>>102421257
have a graph? I'm curious what it sounds like with high density foams in addition to Pro's mediums, how's the air?>buy treble cannons
>reducing the treble makes them better
Wow.>>102422243
many pos are tuned like this from the factory, see Kato for example, very bright drivers and very aggressive dampening to make its sound balanced>>102422471
