        I would recommend trying it first if you can. I have sold quite a few for work and done many more demos in store. I would say most people, 3/4 have little to no issues with fit/comfort. And then the remaining say they have issues with long term comfort or it does not falls out of their ears.

        For my ears in particular, right ear fits fine, left I have one spot that develops a pressure point with a lot of my IEMs.

        Shoot me a PM, I can loan out probably our store's demo unit to see if it fits for you.

        A solid heavy block like the Audeze baffles probably will sound better than the cruddy resonant plastic rings of stock HE6. My solid wood HE6 rings helped a bit with transient incisiveness, but it won't do much for the FR.

      You guys deal DCAudio products, right? I'm curious what the dimensions are for the Voce pads - how big the earhole is, how wide the total diameter is, if there's any slant. If you get a chance, let me know! If not... that's ok too. Couldn't find this info on their site.

        And then spend $5,000 to have your front yard dug up in a few months to have the waste water pipes cut,reamed and re-fit. Not to mention the backed up sewage clean up in the house. Dumb, just dumb. Better off spending $50 for one of those toilet seat bidet jets.

        @E_Schaaf, '$1 in manufacturing is $6 or more at retail'

        I always remember a metalwork teacher, at school in 1967 putting the factor at 4.

        In a lowish-cost-item industry, Greeting cards, we used to multiply by 2 to reach wholesale price, but was just the production cost, and the doubling had to cover all other company costs and the profit. Retailer margin on top of that.

        "if that mod makes it sound better" --- not necessary. All it needs is a rumour that it might make it sound better. Stand by for the different-species different-sound battles.

        And that mould might even be... fungus. Idea: when I get completely deaf, I'm going to grow mushrooms in my headphones.
