I would say it’s definitely not worth trying to clean.

Nahts all the gamin headphones, Logitech, astro, and I think even senn in particular…

Gotta be the jecklin floats. I’m a big fan of the 80’s ish high end headphone design though so stuff like the B&O U70 I think is really cool.

Don’t trust rtings ratings, they are dodgy. Their measurements are ok but that’s about it.

Interesting, which headphones do you have out of curiosity?

Plunger

What trouble with the sound are you having?

Stax any of them

Edit: nevermind it’s the jecklin floats

Not sure you have realised this but the ER2XR is a ‘deep insert’ iem, which means that it has to go right inside your head, not just seal against your ear. (They won’t sound right without doing this too) I think etymotic has a video showing how to insert them properly somewhere.

Sorta gotta get them to look more like this

If you try that and they still don’t seal properly then you most likely have giant ear canals (or are still doing it wrong). Etymotic sells foam eartips which should fit a bit better and I think spinfit also makes a few eartips that fit them.

People/governments don’t, that’s what’s wrong with it. (As an Australian this issue is painfully present)

Edit: grammar

Yeah completely ethical probably isn’t going to happen, definitely won’t for anything wireless. I suggest looking into companies like grado, meze, or zmf if you want more ‘ethical’ headphone designs ( Meze in particular) but the price tag is to match

Careful, the birds (government spy drones) might see this.

As a side note, what did your enter key do to be so neglected?

Yes, even though they are open they still need to seal to have bass (note that this doesn’t apply to on ears because they were tuned with that in mind).

Not for Bluetooth though.

Isn’t that just how a general product cycle works… You have to remember that headphones and iems are a massive exception to product development as a whole.

Also the limited runs that they have done, as far as I am aware, have been purely aesthetic, the products themselves have always been available.
