My gut finally won the to-change-or-not-to-change tug-of war (wow, that's a whole bunch of hyphens). Yours truly is gonna stick to ISO and HRM. Relief and peace descends on me like fresh linen on a bed. Weird analogy. Never mind, it probably beats "relief and peace phagocytosises me". Sigh (of relief), I can finally get down to business.

I BOUGHT MY EARPUMPS! Burning them in now. Honestly, I'm not sure if burning in actually helps but so many earpump reviewer said it helps, so I'm gonna give it a try.

By the way, earpumps are IEMs, not something to be used for pumping out earwax. Yes, someone in one of those forums actually thought so.
