Most notably, there's an annoying static-like sound when the bass gets the slightest bit intense (if the volume is turned up high enough the sound becomes negligible; although for me it was a bit uncomfortably loud)

Although I could hit it back into place, it would regularly become dislodged again until one day I could notice that the sound quality had become much worse in the right ear and the bass was much weaker

After many practice sessions they kept sounding better and better, bass became more pronounced and vocals very clear

The bass comes out well and everything sounds pretty clear
