Definitely a poor seal if the Z1R sounds thin in the bass region…
They are notoriously uncomfortable, regardless.
Sadly I won’t be able to do that: I have to hurt my ear in order to get a seal that isn’t even complete. I felt it again yesterday while comparing with the SSR.
Fit problems plus the fact that I’m far from endgame with iems makes me want to concentrate on iems. I should send a message to the lbbs seller, to check about his return policy.
Seal? Dont you find them confortable? Or do they fall down from your ear?
If it stretches your tragus and antihelix of your outer ear don’t worry, I also experienced pain when I first bought it, you will get used to it as long as you don’t push the buds into your ears too hard.
I wonder why Sony made such an unconfortable IEMs?! At least is a sauna good?
I think you are doing something wrong. You dont get a seal with earbuds.

Nope, I don’t find them comfortable at all.
To be more precise, as it seems I didn’t choose my words very well (I blame you, language barrier!!): I don’t really try to get a seal. Is just that If I push the buds a little against my ear, the sound changes and I get more bass. But the East doesn’t stay that way and I lose a lot of bass and slam. I’m not a Baghdad at all, but I have the feeling I don’t hear what I should when I don’t push the buds.
As for the uncomfort: my tragus is fine that’s the parts at the opposite that get irritated. If I don’t push the buds as far as I do (to get less tension on these areas), the sound is completely off. And I may try again, but I think the buds would not be secure enough and could fall at any movement.
Thought this impression would be relevant for this thread as well:
It’s pretty natural to have that issue. If you press them against your ears, the bass goes up. Earbuds try to change that with delivering more bass to overcome that incomplete seal.
Typically the shells and drivers are designed to operate without a complete seal. You’re meant to just hook them into your ears and the foam helps to create some seal, but not a complete one.
For the most part, I think how well an earbud seals and the changes in sound is why earbuds have been phased out of popularity.
For example, LBBS and other K’s bell shapes have a convex bell-shape. Not many people find these comfortable, but K’s has a special shell design to make them small and flatter. Concave shell designs can be more comfortable as they hook into the ear more, but might not provide a good seal because they don’t apply pressure.
I think this is why people can be so split on earbuds in reviews and forums. Overall ear shape and how well they seal can change a person’s opinion. Finding what shell type and sound signature related to them is part of the journey.
Maybe your ears would prefer something like HE 150Pro with a concave shell design.

Oh boy, here we go again. Third time’s the charm
These high-density tuning foams are great for the DQ6. Essentially the Hana filter, except these are only 2 usd for 20 pieces lol.
The low-density version doesnt really do anything though.
Installation:
You simply remove the stock filter by taking a tweezer and pressing down on it and pull it back up (be careful to not ruin it if you wanna reuse the stock filter). Then drop the tuning foam in the nozzle and press it down so it stays in there.

Speaking of the DQ6, just got my first XINHS cable for it. You guys were not kidding, i chose the cheapest one and it is awesome! Will buy a couple more for sure.
As a bonus the DQ6 had no case, this cable comes with a very nice one!

Now you tell me. You could’ve saved me $20 by not having to buy the Tanya.

Well, I just got this today. The Tanya filter might be more useful for iems with a bigger nozzle, because those tuning foams are tiny, included stock tips are great and the Tanya itself has a great reputation.

Can you confirm which pins you got for it? It’s it QDC?
Need to get a cable for mine.
