Best Long-term Biking IEMs
So I have a reasonably nice job as a bicycle delivery boy for a cookie company, especially for an 18 year old, with 15 $ an hour, Healthcare, and a 401K. My problem is that working the 8-9 hour days can get a bit... Repetitive, and obviously I don't want to go lugging my Audiophile Headphones all over the place for several reasons. Thusly, I ask you, the Massdrop community, what kind of NON BLUETOOTH IEM's should I be on the lookout for? Preferably for less than 200 buckaroos, and bonus points if it is/has been on Massdrop.

The last thing you want on a bike is sound isolation! Please, for the sake of your cranium, stay away from IEMs!

I cycle with Etymotic HF5 ($108) using the foam tips. Prior to that ER4s (~$300, better but more expensive - they were stolen from me). They never fall out. The ER-23-HF3s ($125) if you want with Microphones. As with all Etys they do sound isolate phenomenally so I suggest mirror on left side of bicycle and mainly use with podcasts and books (not music). Obviously, always be alert.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.

Price matching
I ordered the Dekoni Cobalt for $179 and the price dropped to $159 before they even arrived. Some retailers do price match reimbursements if an item goes on sale within a certain time frame after purchase. Does Drop do that?
