The stock tips on their ATH-E40 do not fit or seal well in their ear canals and become uncomfortable after a while.

Had the ATH-E40 years ago and found it okay-ish, but bulky with a cable they disliked.

Their ATH-E40 tends to fall out of their ears and is tied to its non-standard cable.

Used the ATH-E40 for 8.5 years after buying it for a raw, flat, neutral sound before finally upgrading.

Loves the wide soundstage of their new ATH-E40, finding it balanced and clear for rock, and comfortable with SpinFit tips.

After trying both in a shop, chose the ATH-E40 over the warmer, veiled LS70.

After three weeks using the ATH-E40 on stage with their band, finds it very well built compared with a bandmate's SE215.

positive

The cable is the worst part of their ATH-E40; they also replaced the tips and case.

Owned the ATH-E40 but fit was definitely an issue, with the nozzle pressing into the ear canal wall.

The ATH-E40 has a weird shape and fit; JVC Spiral Dot tips worked best for them.

Grew annoyed with the ATH-E40's memory wires after months of use, though it is a nice IEM otherwise.
