The rings are actually meant to be used to increase the diameter of the shells to provide a more secure fit.
I just bought some! I think Iāll cut out a foam to just cover the DD plate, then hold in place using a silicon ring. Letās see if that maintains the same sound but is comfy for many hours 
I bought a similar system, with hooks on top to further secure the fit. I installed it over the already installed foam without any downside.

NX7 came in today with no box cover or wrapping 
Was clearly an used unit but seller sold it as new. Probably wonāt be buying from these guys again. You guys should watch out too. Good thing Amazon has a great return policyā¦ sellerās called Dilvpoetry Amazon.ca: AOSHIDA HIFI
And no itās not the used version since that costs $191 vs the $239 I paid for.

Heyo, got a question for any of you who have experience with Penon Audio. Do you know if Penon does Price Adjustments? I got my Vortex and SERIAL last week, and a few days later (seriously why did I not wait like 3 days for sales, idk how I didnāt think about it) the Black Friday sales show up. I would be able to save around $50 if I had bought them now, and that would be real nice considering how much Iāve spent on them.
I did email Penon twice asking about this, but havenāt gotten any responses
(Edit: Just as I post this, Iām thinking maybe they arenāt answering due to it being the Thanksgiving weekend. This dumbass brain of mine is why I think spending $500 on IEMs is a good idea 
, totally worth it though lol)
I have no idea about price adjustments, but I donāt think theyāre not responding because of Thanksgiving. Theyāre based in Hong Kong and Thanksgiving is a distinctly American holiday.
Shows you how much I know lol. It is odd though considering the other times Iāve emailed them a question, they responded within the same day.

In my experience they have honored past deals long after I missed the opportunity but contacted them to see if theyād allow me to purchase at the deal price. I think theyāll get back to you.

And would you look at that, right around the time you replied, I get an email from Penon. Feels good to save that bit of cash, especially with how good of a deal these IEMs normally.

Hey bro, did you contact Penon to see if your MEAOES Eagles were one of the pairs sent out with the wrong filters installed? Apparently some of the earlier production units had the wrong spec filters installed thus creating a tuning where the treble is too bright/hot/sibilant. I seem to remember you buying them pretty early so I was just wondering. I guess theyāll send out the correct filters if yours have the wrong ones installed. Thatās what sime folks on headfi are saying anyways.

Thanks for the heads up I had no idea - I was an early buyer and the treble is too much for meā¦ Iāll chase this up!

No problem! Sounds like yours might be one of the units that is effected so hopefully they can get you sorted out.

Cause Hexa was already built, and the SA6 wasnāt.
Because $600 IEMs have worse rollouts than a $80 set

They were gonna sell out for sure soooo

God dammit, these shipping times will forever be unbearable for me Itās almost worth just waiting for any set to end up on the 2nd hand market as shipping from a person seems to be always faster than from a company ā¦ case in point, @Sonofholhorse sent out a pair of Hexas for me to try last week on Friday, and Iāll have them today by 9pm!

Nice nice. Estimated shipping for the Hexa was originally Dec 9 to 30th so I was super surprised that they were at door this morning. They sound great so far 
Clarity is nuts for under $100; more impressions later

Strike three for under-original-price listings earlier than many have got them new.
