The second issue is the grip. They are all just awful. They pinch and put pressure on my outer ear, causing pain. I ordered a black, red, and grey pair, all the same size(12), and all the same time. Since I walk on the outsides of my feet (supinate), quite a bit of uneven wear has developed on the heels and Ill probably end up purchasing another pair of these in the next six months or so, as parts of the sole have started to wear through in the heel area. Bowers & Wilkins and Masters & Dynamic take the prize here, they are both absolutely beautiful. I would have. I believe I ordered a half size up in anticipation of pregnancy swelling. I have tested many games too and they all run fine at moderate settings. I would describe myself as a casual listener so to my untrained ears these earphones seem fairly treble happy.
