iBasso DX220 Max
& Campfire Audio Solaris 2020 with Xelastec tips.

They passed the train commute test and stayed in place (Azla Xelastec tips).

i would wager that these are a must with the OG/SE which stick out more.

@ExpatinJapan what size are those Azla Xelastic ear tips that you currently have on your Solaris 2020?

 

[fokta]

The heat up time is interesting as it forms to the ears.

So the tip can deform like our ear canal?

edit :

Spoiler: descpition

In order to achieve the ultimate fit, we have adopted the high quality thermoplastic elastomer (TPE: Thermal Plastic Elastomer) from the world-famous manufacturer KRAIBURG TPE as a material. Taking full advantage of the material's characteristic of being softened and easily deformed by heat, the shape of the umbrella part gradually softens and deforms due to body temperature when the earphones are worn on the ears, creating a superb fit that sticks. You get Because the shape changes and fits to the ear, the burden on a specific part of the ear canal is reduced and it can be used comfortably for a long time. Unlike urethane foam materials, which also change shape to fit the ear canal, it is also characterized by high durability.

so by time, do the edge of the tip deform to a shape of our ear canal??? is that so ???

Ok

a bit spammy - but people are asking for the information.

i bought my first pack at Fujiya Avic and then ordered two more packs (MS/M/ML and SS/S/M) off amazon japan
They seem to come in a two pack

or a three pack of various sizes.

Photos as they tell a story also:










say for the Andromeda i usually use a Yellow ML/ Blue tip L - right and left ear

for Xelastec i am using a MS/M



you will note above the Xelastec and Spiral Dots++ dont correspond exactly in size.


You may have to go down a size than normal

i recommend trying one of the sample packs first for experimenting with size (See the options on the amazon link)

* also check out Aurisonics and Fender SureSeal tips

@ExpatinJapan Thank you for the extensive Xelastic info. The Xelastics are still currently not available in variety-size-packs outside of Japan, so I had to pick a size and went with MS. I used some SpinFit diameter diagrams to pick my size:

Probably fine. I'm in the US and I have ordered.

As for the login, it's a separate system than your local Amazon so it's not your existing Amazon account, but you will have to make a new account specifically for amazon.jp

Not sure if this will help you or not, but mtmt audio might be an alternative (based in HK). I am in the US, but have ordered from them a couple of times with no issues. I think they may have a warehouse here they ship out of...perhaps they have something similar closer to you.

I just got a Lotoo Paw S1 in the mail and it's a great hiss-free pairing with Solaris. It sounds divine through my Macbook Pro.

Edit:



Also. worth a listen:

That little thing is making me contemplate selling my 1Z, I have had them for over a month now and it pairs so well with everything I have.
