Yeah it's a real shame about the fit. I wish they were shaped more like the T3+ or my Audiosense DT200. That universal-custom shape of the aforementioned work really well in my ears so it sucks that the P1 Max didn't quite fit right for me. It's probably the best sounding IEM I've tried.

ah ok yeah its crazy how iem fit varies I honestly found these quite a bit more comfortable than my t3 plus despite having a bigger shell

Honestly the fit was bearable for around the house but IEMs shaped like the T3+ and DT200 are just a lot more secure for me, which is important because I use them on the go and while I work out. The P1 Max would definitely come loose if I worked out in them. Oh well.

how do you like the dt200 compared to t3 plus? was thinking of buying them before I got the p1 max.

They sound very different from each other. The DT200 is very much warm-neutral while the T3+ is very definitely u-shaped. The T3+ sounds more open but they're about on-par for detail retrieval and resolution. I really like both IEMs but I ultimately decided to keep the DT200 because it is so incredibly comfortable.

The P1 Max blows both of them out of the water for soundstage and technicalities, but it does sound a lot thinner and colder than either of them. Although the vocals on the T3+ sound weirdly compressed compared to the DT200 and P1 Max.

True I really wasn't expecting the the p1 max to blow the t3+ out of the water haven't even bothered with testing them side by side, guess ill keep them as backup, and maybe ill try the dt200 at some point. Also thought the same about the t3+ vocals and compressed describes it well.
