I just received a pair in the past few days – my first IEMs, and I’m loving them, sound-wise and aesthetically both. I’m hoping someone(z) here can help me make the most out of them.
I’ve discovered my ear canals are not perfectly uniform, and my left ear slow-rejects tips much more easily. (First noticed this with AirPods, but wasn’t sure it would carry over – it did.)
While relaxing with the units inserted, I find the difference in the physical sensation of fit/fullness between my two ears to be significantly distracting in the way of getting a “happy listening” session. Sometimes, I can sit back and forget about it before the left one pops out, or my ears begin to ache. Most of the time, though, I’m wondering whether I’m finding the sweet spot, or whether it’s not in the cards for me.
In fact, the best sound (and comfort) I’ve had is by laying back and fastidiously hand-adjusting – sometimes so much as to hold the IEMs in a position that is comfortable and provides the best sound. Obviously, this is not sustainable: my hands and arms are but mere flesh, and contact to the chassis produces interference.
Is it the Dunu’s form factor? Is my left ear not taking well to the Dunu’s shallow depth? (What the heck is a “pseudo-custom” fit design, anyway?) I have tried all of the included spinfit-like tips from Dunu, and though the white mediums work best, it doesn’t resolve the issue (and they hurt my ears). Do I need to go throwing money at a variety of different tips from different brands? I don’t think I have particularly small ears, but I know that I really want to be able to enjoy these for prolonged listening in as close to absolute comfort as I can get.
Signed,

P.S. I’ve also noticed the 2-pin popping out here and there. I didn’t think it was from the cable weight – I love a weighty cable – and just assumed that it was my clumsy twisting and turning that set them loose.
