OK, anyone know why these are called Spiral Dots?

The picture on the box shows some kind of dotted silicone surface, but I didn't notice any sort of dots on mine. Unless they exist on the hidden inner part of the silicone olive. But then it is a strangely obtuse reference.

Same question about the Westone silicone star tips. They look more like a gently sloped cylinder. No stars, sparks, or anything close. Another seemingly arbritrary moniker!


Yeah, that picture on the box is accurate of the inside bore on the Spiral Dots. No other eartips have dots on the inside as far as I know, and the lines of them spiral diagonally down.

The trick is to be so genuinely confident or comfortable with your life that you don't give a hoot about what anybody else thinks. Or so hopeless that you don't give a s**t.

I have the XBA-H3 and don't worry at all about wearing them out. I don't mind if people stare. I actually find that people look at a bit of dorkiness with fondness, as long as you own it and are not whipped!

Listening to Hi ReZ Sweet Baby James, Pono out to DeepBlue2...Main rig still needs to be put back together after house renovations/painting, but really sweet sounding mini system.

Just listened to that from harddrive>>Squeezebox>>O2>>Rain2. Sweet indeed.
Still use SqueezEbox as well, have to get main stereo up and running, nice inexpensive way to stream...

Guess I should have prefaced it with just kidding. I've worn them at work and out and about, but they do get looks, besides they are more enjoyable late at night in a quiet room.

Ok, my usual disclaimer, haven't had time to do a good 3 way comparison between DuoZa, Titan, and Heaven V, but did take Wildcatsare1's advice and put Comply foam iems on the Titans. Have been my go to iems since, really tames them without losing the fine bass and open sound. Try to post more impressions when I can.

Looking forward to the comparison once you have the time, doctorjazz.
