Quad Driver In-Ear Earphones Hi-Res High Fidelity Headphones with Warm Bass, Spacious Reproduction, High Resolution, Mic and In-Line Remote for Smartphones/PC/Tablet - E1010 Space Gray Silver

I can't talk about tiers and timing like the audiophiles , but I know what I like. I have been using the One More Quad Drivers and have been very pleased with them. They almost come up to the Sony WF-1000WM4's. The difference between Aonic 5 and the One More Quad Drivers is astonishing. They are in two completely different categories. The Aonic 5 are super crystal clear, you can hear everything in crisp detail and pick out every instrument and especially voices with extreme clarity. They have laser precision and show their studio pedigree. With the right recording they can make you feel as though you are standing right in the middle of the music. At times, sounds emerge which you weren't aware of before. This can lead to a new perception of the music, a new view of complex relationships. A new Gestalt. I think this may be partly what some reviewers refer to as 'musicality'. Because they bring out so much, they make you want to explore even more. It's a good thing they are so comfortable. You could wear them all day quite easily and they make you want to do that. We are talking a four times price difference between the Aonic 5's and the Quads, and the Quads aren't exactly cheap. In an instant direct comparison the Quads can sound muffled. I like the Quads very much and they are my go to earphones, but I was amazed by the stark difference, it's not that they are bad, it's just that they are not as sharp and crisp as the Aonic 5's. In many situations I actually prefer the Quads, when I want more bass body to voice and speech for example and a dark sound signature, which is most of the time. The razor sharp crispness of the Aonic 5's also exposes all that's going on in a recording, and sometimes it might make life easier just not to hear all the defects. But the Aonics are in a class of their own. To me the Aonic 5's are special, they allow me to listen to music as I have never heard before. And that is priceless. But, for most of the time I don't want the analysis. The Aonic 3's made me realise that. I am not an audiophile, and the Aonic 3 prove it. My perfect sound signature for earphones is the 1More Quad Driver, on the other side of the spectrum to the Aonic 3's. One review say that the Aonic 3's have an understated delivery. What he means by this is they "have no bass". Another, that low-end bass notes sound fantastic. Ugh! What? My hearing is pretty good, but I can't hear them. Unless you are referring to that clinical, anemic, empty, hollow low frequency. Is that what you call bass? I was brought up on syrupy, dark, deep bass voices coming out of a huge 1950's valve radio. Now that is what you call bass! And the 1More Quad Driver has it in spades. It's luxuriant, warm, smooth, rich, deep-toned, it envelopes you. The Aonic 3's don't have this. It makes voice and speech productions sound thin, anemic and lacking in body and depth. Movie soundtracks suffer the same fate. But, they might be accurate according to the audiophiles. They might be perfectly balanced, but the world isn't perfectly balanced. That's the problem. So why try and make it sound as though it is. In fact, all this Hi-Fi stuff has made me realise that I don't want Hi-Fi! I want Lo-Fi. I use the headphone socket on my Galaxy A20e, the cheapest they ever made, as an audio source for my Denon/Wharfedale stereo. Sacrilege! Do you know how awful the dacs are that they use in phones? I don't care! You know why, it sounds, fantastic! My internet radio and TV sound great. Good bass and mid-frequencies make speech and voice sound real and full bodied. Not anemic, razor sharp and artificial. In fact, I think I will start manufacturing huge 1950's valve radios. Of course they will have a socket round the back labelled "Aux" where you can plug in your record player. Lo-Fi, that's what we want. You just wait, it will bring the HiFi industry to its knees. Audiophiles will admit that Lo-Fi sounds better and that they were wrong. The future is Lo-Fi. And all because I bought a pair of Aonic 3's, Aonic 5's and 1More Quad Drivers.

I previously ordered but returned a pair of 1More Treble Drivers, the smaller brother of the Quads, which although they sounded good, the in-line control looked cheap and fragile but more importantly didn’t work on my iPhone, I did experiment with a pair of Apple earbuds which with a few adjustments (see my review) did sound good but I just wanted something a bit more robust. I wasted my time with a pair of the much praised but ultimately useless Soundmagic E11’s before taking a punt on the significantly more expensive 1More Quad Drivers and I’m kicking myself why I didn’t just get them in the first place, the extra money you’ll spend on them is worth every penny. They come packaged in the premium 1More packaging, with the usual adapters, robust case and a multitude of silicon and foam tips, not liking foam tips, I used the 14.5mm silicon tips which had worked well for me when I tried the Triple drivers, inserted, twisted and pressed play and wow, now I know what the extra dosh goes on. I connect them to my iPhone with an Apple Lightning to 3.5mm jack and listening to Apple Music lossless is pure pleasure, highs, mids and lows are evidently separated, with bass definitely present when it’s supposed to be but not overpowering the highs and mids and not overwhelming the vocals, which themselves are crisp and clear. Ensuring the eq and sound check in my Apple Music settings are set to off, allows the music to be streamed as it was intended in the studio and the quads allow me to pick up nuances in the tracks I never before experienced even in tracks I’ve listened to a thousand times, they really are that good. Obviously sound is the reason we buy buds and these guys nail it but looks are also important and again the nail is hit on the head, they look and feel a sturdy, robust premium product, the inline control is metal, unlike the plastic one on the Triple’s but more importantly it works on my iPhone with a firm but tactile response working immediately. The fit is superb, insert, twist and they never feel loose and only need occasional adjusting, there is a degree of isolation, obviously not to the extent of high end buds but enough that any ambient noise did not interrupt or interfere with my listening. The 1More Triple’s are a great product but a side by side comparison with the Quads shows where the extra money you’ll spend on them goes, however looks aren’t everything and that extra money is also reflected in the Quads superior sound quality. You’ll not go wrong with the Triple’s but if you budget stretches towards affording the Quads, go for them, you won’t regret it.

I am totally blown by these earphones. I have been using them for about a month now. After comparison, I returned a new set of sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and sold my beloved Amperior's and kept these QUADS as to my hearing they are in a completely different league!! Seriously, you're missing out if you have not got these. I use an HTC A9 that has a good DAC to power them and the level of detail is unlike anything else I have ever heard on a pair of headphones. They don't fatigue you after hours of listening and that says a lot, the sound is warm and detailed without being harsh. Don't need to listen too loud either to get the quality out of them and they are good commuting. I can listen with them for hours. Treble detail is so nice, the voices are warm and life like and the bass is not too heavy but has a good powerful rumble when you get the isolation sorted well. Instrument separation is jaw dropping, I'm hearing new stuff on songs that I thought I knew well! The cable breathes quality and the metal finish is very classy. The metal clip is very hard to fit and chances are you'll open it too far, but nothing that a gentle bite with a pair of flat head pliers won't sort out. The memory foam tips irritated my ears and self destroyed after a couple of removals. The silicon tips are very good and I found the perfect size for me. I can't put my finger on anything I dislike about these earphones. From Talk Radio, Audio Book to any genres of music these earphones really bring life to the experience of listening. Very happy customer indeed.

Great set of ear buds. If you like acoustic guitar, voices, piano etc. then these will be perfect for you. If all you like is bass then look elsewhere. There is next to nothing in the bass register but what is there is good and tight and not flubby. As another reviewer mentioned, you need to find the right sized silicone or foam pads to make them fit your ears perfectly or the sound quality is awful. When you get the right pads the sound quality is excellent. A thing to note is that these ear buds are very large and quite heavy. I wear them in the house when I am sitting in a chair or lying down in bed. I suspect they would wobble a lot or drop out if you used them when exercising our walking quickly outside the house. But for my purposes they are perfect except they lack a tiny bit of bass for me, even though I'm not a fan of heavy bass.

I spent a long time narrowing down the options for a new set of in ear wired earphones to provide the soundtrack to my long solo lockdown walks and in the end the choice was between these quads and the triples. I was lucky enough to have received a reward voucher from work at Christmas, so the quads ended up being less than the triples once that was taken off. A no-brainer to get the quads. As others have mentioned the build quality, presentation, packaging and included accessories was the best I've ever experienced. First class. As others have mentioned it is imperative to get an adequate seal otherwise all that delicious bottom end will be lost. The sound is what we're all here for however. Ive tested these through my Audient ID22 interface and I'm glad to say they surpassed my expectations. A wide soundstage, punchy deep bass, sparkling highs and detailed mids allowed me to hear things I never have before on some of my favourite tracks such as (intentional) distortion on toms, reverb tails or compression on vocals much clearer. Testing with my Google Pixel 5 listening to Tidal Master tracks still provides all of the above. My next step is to get an portable external DAC such as the iFi Hip to increase the listening experience on the move. These don't have any active noise cancellation involved and seem on par with the cancellation you get from other similar buds. To sum up these are well worth the rrp and my advice would be to get the quads if you can afford the extra outlay but you will not be disappointed with the triples based on these and other reviews.

I don't have the money for £200+ headphones, but i'd heard a lot of positive things about these, so when they were almost half price i snapped up a pair.... First thing I noticed was the very expensive box...seemed a bit excessive tbh....."Never judge a Book by Its Pretty Cover" came to mind, I'd rather have a basic plain box and shave the cost saved off the price... They seemed very well made, very solid, quality cable...although I don't think the cable was removable. The silicone ear tips that were originally fitted were, for me, a perfect fit, they kept them fitted in my ear canal, sealed very well, I tried a couple others that they supplied, but the initial ones were the best. I really wanted to like these and get real enjoyment listening to them, but my initial experience of listening via Amazon Music was so poor I assumed it had defaulted to Standard Definition instead of Ultra HD or Atmos....but nope...i was indeed listening to Ultra HD.... The problem was the bass was swamping the mid range resulting in a blurry, mushy mid and lower sound and a bright top end. I have spent the past few days trying different types of music, from classical to Indie, to Rock, different bit rates, running straight from my phone(s), and through an SMSL DAC....all with similar results. I've compared them to many different ear phones i currently own, from £10 VE Monk's to £70 Chinese triple driver IEM's, from wired to bluetooth, and all of them sounded cleaner with better seperation. My current daily ones are some £30 KZ dual drivers, tbh they can be a little harsh and bright, but i still prefer them over these mushy mid range 1More jobs..... So, sadly, as I couldn't see myself ever wanting to use these over any of my vastly cheaper sets I returned them to Amazon. I had such high hopes, but was let down, maybe i had a poor quality pair? Who knows? But these weren't the worst i've bought, I hoped they were going to be the best, and a half price bargain, but nope, my search continues for excellent earphones under £100...

I had them for 3 years before the wire at the audio jack end broke, as in the wires inside broke and only the left channel was working. I was very satisfied with the sound quality, the bass, mid was perfect, very pronounced, clear and powerful (head shakingly good), the highs were good but could be more crisp, I used an equaliser to fix that though. I used heavily for everywhere I go, walking, riding my motorcycle and general use. They stayed in my helmet well, the noise cancellation/seal was very good, which was why it was almost a must for me whilst riding my motorcycle on the motorway, let alone being able to clearly hear the music in that loud environment. They withstanded a lot of abuse, thousands of hours of music playback. Would highly recommend especially as the price has lowered since I bought it.

A very expensive purchase and the very first time I went so far investing in this category budget wise, only to be very disappointed and very quickly. First, the good parts: - The presentation is superb, the package you receive the earphones in looks and feels great. - There's a great selection of rubber buds of all sizes to choose from, finding the perfect fit is easy. - The earphones are definitely of a high build quality, the cable feels very sturdy and in my view looks really good to. - The sound quality is definitely very impressive, though only if you play the right content. The bad - The parts that go into the earpiece are actually detachable, all you have to do is to twist the ends for them to become loose. I'm sure this can be very useful and practical but if you are not careful they can come off exposing the inner wire inside the cable and potentially damaging crucial parts of the internals. - After just 2 months, the control buttons for stop/play, volume up and down are going crazy. Something has definitely broken internally, and simple movement causes the buttons to trigger, even if they are not physically touching anything. So as you walk with your earphones plugged, the music starts, stops, the song randomly changes, and so on, which is extremely irritating, and there's nothing you can do about it. - The volume of the sound is unexpectedly low. It may be true this is an optimisation done on purpose for the audiophile within, but it's a bit disappointing and the isolation is not always good enough to mask surrounding sounds. Combined with the volume being low, you can quite hear the background noise of a London underground ride and so on, something that never happens with a £30 pair Sehnheisers. - The quality/volume combination is truly unimpressive on your every day listening devices. It's fair to say this is not a fault of the earphones but rather of the source, and others have described these as being true to source, but it makes them pretty useless as an every day piece, because the sound quality difference when listening on an iPhone or your average on the go music player(iPod, smartphone, tablet etc) is somehwat imperceptible between a £200 pair and a £25 pair. That makes it a fairly niche investment as an every day piece of kit, but if you really love your music why not. The fact that they are now entirely unusable on the go after not even 3 months is a huge huge disappointment. I've done my best to carry them in a special pocket, always in their special container, etc, look after them, however to no avail, the buttons are making it impossible to enjoy a full song without 50 random pauses or the track changing. I would very seriously advice against buying them as a result.

Consapevole che è difficile poter dare un giudizio che possa essere significativo per tutti perché come suona una cuffia dipende molto dai gusti e dalla sensibilità di ognuno di noi, ho deciso di approcciarmi ad essa con una prova comparativa delle cuffie in mio possesso. Devo aggiungere che la fonte, la capacità di pilotare le nostre cuffie sarà determinante per la resa delle stesse perché collegarle ad un cellulare o ad un amplificatore non è la stessa cosa. Se vi interessa usarle essenzialmente per telefonare e ascoltare musica senza impegno prendete pure degli auricolari da 30 euro che vi soddisferanno sicuramente. Per ascoltare la musica in maniera coinvolgente allora queste cuffie sono da prendere in seria considerazione. Ad ogni modo ecco le cuffie impiegate nel mio test: Xiaomi Piston 2 (credo), 1more Quad Driver, Shure SE535 e Sennheiser HD565 Ovation. Amplificazione utilizzata Marantz PM17 Signature. Brano dei Radiohead, Burn the witch in flac. Il suono delle Xiaomi è terribilmente piatto, suonano perché funzionano ma non trasmettono nulla di che, vanno bene per telefonare e per ascoltare qualcosa in mancanza di altro. Il suono delle 1more è straordinariamente molto buono, inaspettatamente godibile. C'è tutto, bassi, medi ed alti nella giusta, a mio avviso, misura. Il suono delle Shure è decisamente cristallino ed analitico ma, come dire, più freddo ma stiamo parlando di una cuffia che costa il triplo e che presenta un grave difetto costruttivo: dopo 3 anni di utilizzo normale in casa, senza averle sottoposte ad alcun stress termico, la conchiglia SX si è scollata dividendosi in due. Siccome non sono l'unico ad avere avuto questo problema ciò significa che Shure risparmia sulla colla con il risultato di farmi disaffezionare al marchio e l'acquisto di 1more ne è stato il risultato. Il suono delle Sennheiser riprende leggermente in meglio quello delle 1more con un suono più aperto e maggiormente intelleggibile solo perché ho fatto il confronto altrimenti, come equilibrio tonale, avrei detto che suonano alla stessa maniera. Quindi secondo me 1more vale tutti i soldi spesi per la qualità sonora che ti viene data, anzi, suonano meglio di cuffie che costano di più. L'affidabilità sarà da verificare ma l'eventualità di ricomprarle per quanto mi riguarda sarà una strada sicuramente percorribile. Da tenere presente anche che il corredo con cui viene fornita la cuffia è veramente sbalorditivo e ti trasmette la sensazione di avere a che fare con un prodotto premium. Per uso personale o anche come regalo la 1more Quad Driver è una scelta, per la qualità fornita anche se le colleghi ad un cellulare, decisamente azzeccata. La consiglio.

Fantastic sound and build quality, delivered with a lot of extras in a nice packaging. In my opinion the sound quality is better and more immersive than other highly appreciated earbuds like the Sony WF-1000XM3. The service team of 1More is also very helpful in case if you have any questions. Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.

Update: Ich muss meine Rezension ein wenig revidieren - nicht dass das bisher geschriebene falsch wäre, aber es gibt dann doch nicht wieder, wie gut diese In-Ears wirklich sind. Ich habe es bisher für Quatsch gehalten, dass Kopfhörer „eingespielt“ werden müssen. Das ist aber tatsächlich bei diesen In-Ears der Fall! Sie sind definitiv über die ersten Wochen immer besser geworden. Das betrifft maßgeblich die Tiefen, die Höhen haben sich nicht verändert, aber dadurch verbessert sich insgesamt die ganze Balance. Die höhen sind und waren immer von einer ausgesprochenen Transparenz ohne schrill, künstlich oder gar klirrend zu klingen. Merkt man z.B. bei Stimmen insbesondere an der Klarheit der Konsonanten. Bei 3 Hochtönern jetzt vielleicht auch kein Wunder. Was jetzt aber beindruckend geworden ist, ist der Tiefenbereich. Allein beim Frequenzgang mag man seinen Ohren nicht trauen. Es taucht in guten Aufnahmen eine Textur auf, von der ich zum Teil gar nicht wusste, dass sie in den Liedern vorhanden ist. Phänomenal! Und wenn es dann richtig zur Sache geht, dann kann sogar der ganze Kiefer mitvibrieren. Was aber bleibt ist, dass der Sitz extrem wichtig ist. Wenn die Aufsätze nicht sauber dichten (wenn sie richtig sitzen merkt man deutlich auch an Umgebungsgeräuschen die dann ebenfalls stark gedämpft werden), dann bleibt viel von dem Erlebnis auf der Strecke - dann klingen sie halt „määäh - ganz ok“. Ich hatte sie in meiner ursprünglichen Rezension mit den Sony V900 verglichen - jetzt ist ganz klar: Sie haben keine Chance im direkten Vergleich, sie bieten über den gesamten Frequenzbereich nicht die gleiche Differenzierung und bieten weder oben noch unten den gleichen Punch und der Frequenzgang ist auch kleiner. Aber sie sind halt einfacher: Aufsetzen und fertig, kein „rumpulen“ im Ohr. Wer bereit ist das auf sich zu nehmen bekommt was besonderes. Erstes Review: Die Quad Driver sind vielfach gereviewed und insbesondere gegen die Triple Driver verglichen worden. In den meisten Fällen war die Bewertung positiv, aber es wurde angemerkt, dass sie im Vergleich zu den Triple Drivern ein nicht so gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis (bei 200€ Preis) hätten. Nun, ich habe keine Triple Driver, ich habe aber auch nur 118€ gezahlt - zu bekommen sind sie sogar für 113€, wobei Amazon dann gerne den Preis leicht anhebt wenn die Dinger im Warenkorb liegen. So habe ich sie dann auch für 113€ reingelegt und bis zum Checkout 118€ gezahlt. Naja, will nicht schimpfen - ich habe es sehenden Auges gemacht. Verarbeitung: Für 118€ übersteigt die Verarbeitungsqualität von der sehr stylischen Verpackung bis hin zum Kabel wirklich jedes noch so kleine Detail meine Erwartungen bei weitem. Ich vermute auch sehr das die Unterschiede zum Triple Driver eher hier liegen als Im Klang. Wer sich daran erfreut wird es lieben. Hier wurde wirklich an keiner Ecke gespart. Selbst der Stecker und das Bedienteil wirken wie aus dem Vollen gefräst. Die Oberflächen sind fein gearbeitet und offensichtlich ziemlich hart, denn Kratzer gabs bisher keine, obwohl die beiden Hörer beim Aufwickeln schon ganz gerne gegeneinander schlagen. Klang: Aber man kauft ja keine Kopfhörer wegen der Verarbeitung. Beim Klang muss man ein paar Dinge beachten: Die Kopfhörer muss richtig im Gehörgang sitzen. das die Gehäuse eher groß sind hatte ich die Tendenz sehr kleine Silikonaufsätze zu wählen...und war enttäuscht von den fehlenden Bässen. Es war ok aber nicht wirklich aufregend. Irgendwann habe ich dann mal auf die Hörer von aussen gedrückt und plötzlich klangen sie ganz anders. Nichts mehr von fehlendem Bass. Also dachte ich, sie sein belüftet und habe danach gesucht, welches Loch ich dicht kleben müsste. Das gibt es aber nicht. Es waren die Aufsätze, die nicht richtig im Gehörgang gedichtet haben. Ich bin dann zu größeren Aufsätzen gegangen und dann bei den überraschend (für mich) großen 13mm Aufsätzen gelandet. Die dichten so, dass man deutlich weniger von der Umgebung wahrnimmt was für mich bei InEars für mich ungewohnt war. Die Belohnung ist, dass die Quad Diver ein wahnwitziges Spektrum abdecken. Ich höre Bässe in Songs, von denen ich nie wusste, dass sie da sind. In den Höhen gehen die Quad Driver ohnehin rauf bis das Ohr nicht mehr folgen kann. Natürlich bedingt das, dass man sie mit einer entsprechenden Quelle treibt. Bei mir ein Pioneer XDP-02U. Verglichen mit meinem uralten Sony V900 (OverEar - die immer noch eine gewisse Referenz für mich darstellen und vor 15 Jahren mal DEUTLICH teurer als 118€) gewinnen im Detail wohl die Quad Driver. Verglichen mit einem Geneva XL ("Sound Box": der Geneva L war mal die Klang Referenz für die Abbey Road Studios) kann man feststellen wie getreu und präzise die Quad Driver die Quelle wieder geben. Der Nachteil: Man, hört auf den Aufnahmen auch jedes Hintergrundgeräusch, was eigentlich nicht auf die Aufnahme gehören sollte (gerade bei Live-Aufnahmen) und auch jedes Artefakt was nicht zur Musik gehört. Komfort: Für meine Ohrmuschel etwas groß. Im Gehörgang mit den Silikonaufsätzen sehr angenehm, aber die Gehäuse außen drücken etwas bei mir. Ich habe aber ziemlich kleine Ohren. Mikrofon: Sicherlich die unwichtigste Kategorie - in Zeiten vom Corona-Virus sitze ich allerdings auch teilweise 12 Stunden mit diesen Kopfhörern in Video-Besprechungen. Ich bekomme nur Lob für meine Verständlichkeit am anderen Ende. Am Mikrophon scheint also auch nicht gespart worden zu sein. Allerdings finde ich für Besprechungen den Umstand, dass die Quad Driver so sauber abdichten unangenehm, weil ich meine eigene Stimme nicht so gut höre. Was auch der Grund ist, weswegen ich die Bose QC35 sehr ungerne für Besprechungen nutze, es sei den ich bin in einer sehr lauten Umgebung. Fazit: Ob man sie "mag" ist sicherlich Geschmacksache, ich glaube aber nicht das irgendjemand an der Qualität und Wiedergabetreue etwas kritisieren kann. Ich glaube sie können mit Fug und Recht HiFi für High Fidelity für sich beanspruchen. Ich hätte dafür sicherlich auch 200€ bezahlt und hätte das noch für günstig gehalten. Für 118€ sind sie ein absolutes Schnäppchen.

Wow..just freaking wow. I didn't know this kind of 3d imaging and soundstage was possible from a IEM. I'm probably considered a "cheap" audiophile, and these even make some of my over-ear cans (598cs, ath-m50x) seem like freebie headphones that come free with a new phone. I bought a set of the Triples, thought I'd try a set of these at the same time so I could compare - The Triples were defective, had some assembly issues, but the sound was the same so I was A/B switching with them and it's not even a comparison, AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BROKEN IN YET!! - Also, I found the QUADs housing to loook much better, be smaller, and a more comfortable fit (not tips or the inner ear part, but the exterior of the bud itself and how far it would protrude from my ear - I can lay on a pillow wearing these and be reasonably comfortable, but the TRIPLEs are larger and a different angle and I couldn't lie down with them - Pushed too much into my ear) Color me impressed - Now they ARE double the price, and to likely 80% of people out there the performance\price ratio is far sweeter for the Triples, but if you are buying a set to last you for a while, and notice a smile and\or tear (cmon guys its ok to admit to happy tears) come across your face when you hear small details you have never heard before in your favorite songs... I think you have your answer. Listening to some John Williams FLACs - Closing my eyes and I can pick out the placement of individual instruments, and they are all individual, they are not muddled together. I put a side into the Fiance's ear and asked her to listen at pretty high volumes, and the first thing she said was how surprised she was that it was so loud, but didn't hurt her ears. My NOTE4 goes fairly loud, and I was surprised when listening critically that the volume was almost all the way up without any distortion or pain\aches. ONLY 2 negatives I can say at this point: -These are pretty accurate - They will bring out the worst in your crappy recordings. Lossless files will be the best, obviously, but I can easily pick out compressed files anything lower than 200ish. 128k/sec MP3 sounds like AM radio haha - But that just goes to show you how all those other headphones are "muddling" details, despite if those details are good or bad. -The diameter of the headphone that actually sticks into your ear is pretty large - It is fairly painful trying to get the foam tips on. Ended up wrecking the 2 11mm foam tips, which are the only ones I wanted to use, so i'm getting by with the silicone tips - I'm still trying to find the perfect tip, but be wary trying to put any tips on - It's one hell of a tight fit, and if you aren't careful (hell I was super careful) you will just rip them up.
