I sugru modded a pair of azla crystal tips.
Best experience in iems ever. Mest 2 will be my go-to iem for a long time.

intrigued- how exactly did you use Sugru to mod tips? Seems to be a moldable putty that hardens and yet remains flexible and ‘stuck’ to whatever it’s touching after 30 min. Did you wrap around the tips on the IEM and put in your ears?I sugru modded a pair of azla crystal tips.

You put it between the stem and wing so it forms to your ear shape while it's the silicone tip that touches your ears.

Got it- if I understand correctly this is a permanent mod to the IEM as the Sugru will adhere to it and the silicone tip after it dries?You put it between the stem and wing so it forms to your ear shape while it's the silicone tip that touches your ears. It looks and feels like a ciem.

Here is another DIY alternative, I am about to give it a go this weekend and will report back here after
The real question is : how does it alter the SQ of the IEM?
Congrats! I am also very interested in the Multiverse Mentor and would like to order it custom. However, how long is the approximate wait time though? Also what color did you order them in. Please let me know, thanks!Happy Day Today :
I had a chance to listen to the Multiverse Mentor briefly. Despite the short time and a VERY superficial comparison to my trusted EE Custom ODIN, I could not withstand and ordered the Custom version.
OK: I frankly admit I’m a great admirer of Oscar Wilde: “I can resist anything except temptation…”
Please excuse me that I’m refraining from making any kind of comparative comments here:
Both the ODIN & the MENTOR are excellent IEMs in their own right and each with different merits. Any further evaluation would not be very helpful of course, especially also , as the MENTOR was the Universal version and the ODIN was a custom with an excellent fit - and I always have endless problems with finding the correct ear tips….

PS:
Firstly I strongly support the opinion, that the Custom is the best form for any IEM
and secondly: Call this same sort of “audiophile self-castigation” (Having the CUSTOM prevents you from selling the MENTOR – or the ODIN – again after a short while . .. )

Yea, I'm referring to the Symbios. The Zeos are basically the same thing but actually works because of the very soft foam. They block out everything, but I don't use them much as they are still tight in the ears for me.This is an important issue for UM IEM users of the chunkier IEMs- for 3DT users for sure. The orange foam Symbio F tips are indeed pretty stiff until they are very well worn in, they do eventually soften to the point where they are more comfortable, but if these Zeos tips are softer they may work better right out of the box.
It is frustrating though that we have to struggle so to find the perfect match for our ears, which is not the same for different IEMs. The SQ can highly vary with different tips. When one finds the right match it can be transformative. The 3DTs need a good fit or the reputed upper mid shouty SQ and loss of bass impact results - with a good fit it is golden and well balanced (to me YMMV).
The newer symbio W are much softer and malleable then the originals. I have them.Yea, I'm referring to the Symbios. The Zeos are basically the same thing but actually works because of the very soft foam. They block out everything, but I don't use them much as they are still tight in the ears for me.
