    Nice choice a buddy of mine has a pair they sound great, however they don't stay in your ears that good make sure you order a set of comply foam replacement tips they will stay in your ears and have a snug comfortable fit. I have a couple pair of sennheiser IEM not as nice as yours and the comply tips make a world of difference.

    I have read that closed H-phones worn for a long period of time raise the bacteria levels in your ear seven fold (need one of our biology folks to confirm this?). Can't imagine what in ear plugs do. In any case, I can't stand them, they're quite irritating and suffocating, but YMMV. I suspect this might be an age thing as younger folks have grown up with earbuds and us older babies did not? Plus, they keep popping out of the ear unless they're lined with denture creams, lol!

    If you use the Comply tips they stay in forever. I would worry more about cranking it and hearing loss than ear fungus, but now you got me wondering as my comply tips do look a ltitle different in color perhaps from sweating while wearing them going to jab a qtip in my earw now and see if any fungi appears as I did just get back from walking the dogs and they were a bit damp once I took them off.
