The opposite for me. I wouldnt have a problem with the fat nozzle if the size of the shell was a lot smaller.
Have them in for around 6hours now. 0 pain etc. B2 hurts after 3 hours already. Your miles may vary

Its all about the texture and details in the Bass rather than impact and extension with these.
Its not only the nozzle, the uhm āstemā the part connected have to go in your ears as well in B2. I have small ears probably.

3 hours? Lucky, they start hurting the moment I put them in lol.

Yea, after 10 minutes my entire ear canal was sore with the B2.
I take that pain for granted for putting B2 in. But after 3 hours i get even more āsoreā. Maybe fatigue is a better word. Combination of fit+venting I think
overall way more happy with this one and its even cheaper!

Please try this two tracks for me. The bass hits hard enough, what do you think ?
Thank you for advence. What is your source by the way ?
Yes it handles it easily for your first track. Your 2nd track is what i listen to usually no need to test it handles it easily. So that i test already.
I use SMSL A8
EDIT: Only tested from behind PC. All my listening is done from there!
No idea how it sounds from DAP/phone/dongle etc etc etc
If you need the slam slam LIKE SLAM. Nothing beats DD tho!!
But for me slam is more than enough

The SMSL A8 is an atom reactor, please try with some dongle or mobil dac. Lot of people want to know how to drive it from a weaker source.

Okay listened a bit with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S10). No worries it super easy driven. No problems at all!! For a āwarmerā sound i combined phone with VE Odyssey Hd
EDIT: easiest to drive planar set for me. I donāt know what people use to drive theirs. Maybe their units have QC problems??? But i canāt imagine anyone saying these are āhard to driveāā¦

Will give those a listen over the weekend.
I donāt use streaming services so Iām limited to Spotify free but Iāll give them a try out
Source is FLAC files ripped to SSD the streamed via Node2i into Chord 2Qute DAC into JDS Atom.
Also tried these on my Walkman NWA-45 and the same Walkman via a Topping NX4.
