I kinda wanna blame the earbuds for this flaw, but also myself for forgetting. I could hear the tracks, sure, but cranking it is not an option. I was in heaven. Unfortunately I had to buy and use this product to match closely to the rest of the finishing of Signature Hardware. My son has the same and it has worked fine for about ten rides so far. You know, the basement is a source of creativity for men, and I dont want to mess up my place. So my 11s are only gonna get more and more loose as they wither away. If they dont fit, and are constantly falling out of your ears, it doesnt matter how great they sound. Wish I had bought them years ago. Yes, you are physically shackled to the audio interface, but I think the cable must be at least 3m long.
