the best IEM tips that you have on you right now! (if you are on the go)
I ordered spinfit w1 , hopefully it's not a disappointment like the azlas were for me
Hi, I also got Monarch MK3 few days ago, and Azlas (Xelatecs) were also disappointment for me and I also ordered Spinfit W1 coming on Monday and I also listen to metal Is you me? :-DI ordered spinfit w1 , hopefully it's not a disappointment like the azlas were for me
I don't like the xelastecs either, but the crystals are one of my favoitesHi, I also got Monarch MK3 few days ago, and Azlas (Xelatecs) were also disappointment for me and I also ordered Spinfit W1 coming on Monday and I also listen to metal Is you me? :-D
Picked up a set of Divinus Velvet Tips and slapped them on my Xelentos. They have transformed my Xelento 2. Wider more open open sound field. Same low end, just more articulate and open clear resolving treble. These Divinus Velvet tips have unseated Aazla Crystal on a couple of IEMS. Keeping on the subject of tips, just got back, literally a couple hours ago from a trip through Mexico and my favorite flying tips are Tennmak Strong Foam. They are a slow rebound dense silicone foam. As such they don't muddy the bass and have very little attenuation of the highs. They are COMFORTABLE, isolate well, wear like iron, don't rip and tear like Comply and are cheap as chips. Highly recommended.

Penon Liqueur for sure. Their XL is huge and the material is a bit more sticky so doesn't let go as easy.I've been dipping my toes into IEMs and am now looking for good fitting tips. In the process, I'm finding nearly all tips loose and most just fall out of my ears, even so-called "large" tips. I guess this means I have giant gaping ear holes (add that to my resume). I went ahead and ordered some XL Spinfits and Spring Tips to see if those are any better.
In the meantime, are there any larger tips I should try that are a better fit for the vast expanses of my massive ear pits?

Dang, those are big. Can't quite tell from the description, but what's the difference between the orange and the black versions?Penon Liqueur for sure. Their XL is huge and the material is a bit more sticky so doesn't let go as easy.
I do have a set of large Xelastecs and they *almost* fit. They're better than the other large sizes I've tried, but my left ear hole is apparently an even bigger monster than my right, so the left side eventually ends up breaking its seal. My other issue with the Xelastec tips is that they sound light on bass to me. Since I'm already using a bass-light set of IEMs (Orchestra Lite), the Xelastecs sound a bit thin and dull compared to the other tips I've tried.Azla XELASTEC work well due to a combination of diameter, shape and sticky texture. The downsides are that they are not cheap and they designed to deform with body warmth to optimise fit. That results in them looking odd if that matters to you. They can be restored back to normal by a four stage heating and cooling process in hot then cold water, first in hot water with the main part of the tip turned inside out, cooled in cold water then heated again in hot water with them in a normal position and cooled. That is for the anal retentive among us.
