Yesterday I tried the Linsoul Tangzu Tang Sancai Wide Bore tips in different sizes from S to L and none of them did fit. They have a special textured surface and rather this is the reason they didn't build up enough friction in the ear canal and they constantly fell out. The shape would be nice though.

Anyone else like the Final tips ?

I find them quite meh, they're decent with non bass-y or overly treble-y sets but on the Monarch mk3 for example they ruin the sound.
There are much better tips out there IMO, Dunu S&S, Divinus Velvet, Softears Ultra Clear, AZLA Xelastec, etc

I tried them last week too and yes, they are useles for my IEM. Too short "nozzle" of tips are the problem of me.

I found the same, they sit a long way back on the IEM nozzle so there isn’t much tip past the end of the nozzle which messes up fit for me.

Insert in one’s ear my #1 tip

Three days with a set of Comply 500-series foam tips, and so far these might be the most consistently good fit with the short-nozzled Symphonium Meteor for me. My ear anatomy has made these IEMs a big challenge. I got the three-shape variety pack of Comply foams, but all three (cylinder, round, and oval) seem to fit essentially the same.

If I could figure out an ideal orientation for the oval ones, I might be able to get an even more snug and more comfortable fit, but I can't yet figure out which way makes most sense (or even if each ear might need a slightly different orientation from one another). Regardless, stoked to have found something that has worked multiple days in a row after weeks of tip rolling. Not yet ready to proclaim a winner, but fingers crossed.

Whose ear do you want your number one tip inserted into ?

What's the tips with the best timbre in your collection? Out of mine I feel like the Epros are the ones that convey the most realistic timbre with the OG Timeless. Azla/Spinfit/etc can sound very balanced but often have a fake timbre. I'm wondering what's the best material to get the best overall tone/timbre (Epros use graphene for instance, but I need to try foam on the Timeless).

I love the sound of the Divinus Velvet tips. They're surprisingly rigid, probably because of the very thick central bore cylinder. That gives them a really nice (for me) timbre in the lows. It literally feels like it vibrates/resonates against my ear in really low (inaudible) frequencies. And the sensation translates into a sense of fullness and richness in low notes. It could just be psychoacoustic, but whatever. I dig it.

But because they're so rigid and have a talc-like finish, they don't seal great in my ears. It's usually a very light, very tenuous seal (I've got very wide ear canals). With the Velvets' bulb shape, I can sometimes seal them backwards from the inside of my outer ear. Doesn't always work, but when it does, I really, really like the way they sound and feel. But because they're so hard to fit securely, I don't often use them. Just when I know I'll be listening at home and not moving much.

Interesting thanks, people seem to rave about these!

I have seen your posts with your ear tip issues. I have similar problems but thankfully less severe by the sound of things.

I also like the Velvets and like you some days they work really well and other days not so much due to the smooth ‘velvet’ fit.

I have recently got several sets of Azla Crystal in L and they have essentially the same shape and application as the Velvet but are a bit sticky and stay in place much better.

I recall you tried the XELASTEC, the Crystals are similar dimensionally but significantly less tacky which makes insertion easier but they still get a good stick in your ears after a while. They also don’t deform like the XELASTEC.

On the plus side, it means I am now pretty well versed in different tip types, materials, shapes, etc.

EDIT: Four days now with the Comply foam tips on the Symphonium Meteor. They work every time without much fussing. Feeling good about these tips.

In the end I always seem to use foam… probably because I am a little treble sensitive and I do like a little extra bass…I tried a lot of silicone though…
Comply foam is a waste of money IMHO. The TRN foam or even the Kz foam sound great and do not cost much. Also they have a good rebound unlike some other foams. Comfortable to…

Seems that new wide bore Divinus Velvet tips are coming quite soon :

Would be an instabuy for me.
