Just Arrived! VSonic VSD3S
- Thread starter Cookeh
- Start date
Odd. Mine are very secure behind my ears, and I have the chin slider about 4" short of chin. Do try the plastic hooks, some people swear by them for over-the-ear headphones.
You can only get them from Singapore, from a company called Lend Me Ur Ears. They are the ONLY official stockist of VSonic and so the only place that offers a valid warranty on them.
Don't worry about shipping times or customs (never been stung and generally shipping takes about 3-5 business days in my 4x experience).

Get your ears syringed and clean your headphones frequently 
I cant think of anything with a removable mesh insert for £50. Rock Jaw Alfa Genus has replaceable filters and so replaces the tip, but thats not really for cleaning purposes - its for changing the sound.

I wouldn't say its significantly more so, however. Same with the Fidue A73. So you might be looking at Fidue A83 or Senn IE80 kind of money (~£180-200) to see something truly 'significant'. Something in the middle would be the DUNU DN-1000s at ~£140.
That's why you are given the option by LMUR for a replacement cable, replacement detachable, or a replacement non-detachable version. The latter doesn't have the connector issue, which is the most common fault.
A73 is a good shout, the GR07 BE would have been a good option too (and where I would have put my money, but I am biased).

Those look like the foam tips (excellent seal, but I personally never liked their sound), best advice I can give is to play around with the different tips and different insertion depths and see what you like most - insertion depth and seal can have huge impacts on the sound so definitely worth experimenting with.
Those are the detchable-cable first gen VSD3S, by the way, like mine - be careful with the 3.5mm jack connection (common failure point on these, and of course with the cable connections to the housing too (the biggest issue with the VSD3S).
Whut? The nozzle itself sheared off?
Have you got any pics? I'm struggling to picture where you mean as I very much doubt what I class as the nozzle could ever shear off (without it being snapped off under heavy load as its integral to the rest of the IEM housing) so evidently we're on different pages here!
Is the thin small metal 'ring' still in place above the filter?
Same issue for me, never liked the feel of them. The inner most one always seems to irritate my ear canal. Double plugs should have the same sound as a single flange with a similar diameter, just less isolation - if that helps.
If you wear them over-ear, which is what they are designed for, then absolutely. Mind have stayed in mountain biking, running, lifting, everything.
Running them over-ear takes barely anymore time than a normal cable-dowb headphone, by the way.

Honestly, used mine in and out of the gym for running, lifting, mtbing for almost two years now, zero issues. If you want a bit more security and are super paranoid then the M6 Pro is a great choice but will not have as good sound performance (by some margin).
Regarding ordering from non-UK retailers, no-one in this thread so far has had an issue and I've never had anything but prompt and polite customer service.
