KowKowYeah, just looking at the clip portion seems like it would not be very secure. Can you use the iem without the added "rubber fitters"?

CompassionatorYes, but they were even less comfortable, and I had a harder time keeping them in my ears. It's a fine balance of losing a little rubber piece, or dealing with a less than perfect fit. But who knows! A lot of people seem to like these, maybe my ears are just oddly shaped.

boooooooooIts just that the market is too crowded, have you seen the success if the Ostry? More than 200 sales, that's where all the buyers went.

Jack_CarverCompletely different price range though. They had no problems selling in the past even with other IEMs in the market, and you can tell by all the thumbs up that he had a significant effect on it.
Most people wouldn't stop buying expensive gear just because something cheaper showed up ($300vs$80)otherwise high end gear wouldn't exist.

The MAIN problem though, is that any rubber fitters you put on that little hook fall right off and gets lost very easily. They've fallen off multiple times on the airplane, which is a pretty awkward place to search for a tiny rubber piece. Sometimes they'll even pop off in my ear while I'm trying to put the IEMs in. The tips can also slip off without too much effort, especially if you use the bigger spacer ring, because there's nothing to hold it in really, just slides into place.
The sound and build quality are solid, but the constant fear of losing another rubber fitter and fidgeting to get them to be more comfortable usually leads me to leaving them in their case. Sorry for the wall of text, meant to only talk about the cables, but figured I'd share my experience.
