Edit: The correction with the earbuds (not the Earpods) may be a lot better than what I originally thought. Although the earbuds' fit may never be satisfactory for me due to the following, it does make this much more interesting. Wearing the earbuds normally, with the wires going to each bud at the bottom of my ears, the sound is somewhat thin. Rotating each earbud so the wires are pointing forward, 90 degrees from the "normal" position, the sound becomes much more like the Earpods, i.e. spectacular. This might not seem terribly important, but it does provide more clues about the ultimate capabilities of the Dirac DSP.
