I am interested in the W3's or W4's. It looks like I am y be leaning towards the W3 however.

 

I was curious as to how changing the tips can alter the sibilance. Can you elaborate?

 

Thanks,

Ken

I'm not sure its possible to really get rid of the sibilance.  The sibilance doesn't bother me as much as it does other people.  I wouldn't say that the W3 is "Mr Sibilant" haha... but its probably more sibilant that preferable.

I think it leans towards siblant with all silicone tips and the midrange sounds slightly recessed.  With complys I get zero siblance and the whole presentation sounds balanced, rich and almost warm with midrange very present.  As much as I hate the dirtiness of using complys, it's the only tip that really sounds "right" to me with W3.
