I wear the ER3 SE with the Shure Black Olives most times.

Much more comfort than the foamies.

The Dual Flange which come with the ER series are also good for long sessions, but you gotta work at getting a seal with them.

Aha, I should have guessed it was you!!

My journey with the Mores has come to a pause, as I have found the legacy music program introduced in the OPN model, using the Velox processor, is far more natural, and less plagued by the digital processing, than the MyMusic program.

Once Oticon saw fit to d/c the legacy music program, they refused to even add it back as an option.

The VA had a Oticon rep attend an adjustment session with me, and she attempted to replicate the OPN music prgm. from my OPN S settings, but it never has ever sounded the same.

The Polaris processor MyMusic just does not achieve parity.

As you may recall from my hearingtracker posts, I linked the MyMusic

white paper wherein Oticon explains the reasoning and process they used for it.

I've gone to several concerts (Jazz lover), at venues with extremely well tuned acoustics, and sitting front row, center with the OPN S vs More is night and day.

You may wish to explore Widex, or Signia?

I'm of the opinion Oticon is too invested in their DNN, which is adding too many obstacles to the More & Real product that impede "Natural" sound.

I'd suggest perusing Marshall Chasin's articles on HAs and music.

Here's another resource to check

And last, but not least: lots of audiophiles & musicians post here.

well, at least he didn't Drop a bomb on the 6XX!

Might I suggest turning off the EQ. and spend at least 3 days listening to some of your favorites?

Your brain needs to adjust to the real sound the 6XX delivers.

Promise!

If your receiver has a headphone jack, you're probably good to go!

The HD 6XX is very efficient, high sensitivity.

If you can't shatter your ears, get a headphone amp.

The BTR5-2021 model has a built in voltage regulator, so when plugged into USB it charges to 80%, and will recharge at 20%, according to FiiOs specs.

IDK if that's true, because I only use mine for portable bluetooth use.
