S4 gel hell

Recommended Posts

Hello Professor

I have been pretty happy with my S4s, although I have had to condition my left ear to tolerate the insertion. I have tried all the different gels, including the smallest ones Amy sent me. I found that the double flanges they originally shipped with are the only ones that truly allowed me to experience the great sound of these headphones. The double flanges, combined with swapping the left & right pieces has worked for several months.

However, twice in the past week, I have had to have a friend remove the ear gel from my right ear with surgical tweezers after it has become

dis-joined from the earphone. Obviously this shouldn't be happening. Do you expect that the fit is too small allowing the gel to become too far engaged? Or perhaps it is too tight and needs to be smaller? Why would swapping L&R (wires down) be the only way I can keep them from falling out no matter what gel I use?

Thaner,

Could you send me a PM with a picture of the nozzle (front part of the headphone) with out the eartip gel attached?

There is a retention ring on the design. If you fully engage the ring the design will snap on. Rotate a bit to be sure. It should not come off.
