Tips are a personal preference. Jon likes the KZ Foamies, I still prefer the Auvio Silicones.

I'm getting good seal with silicon as well but would prefer foam to taper the highs a tad bit.


You don't use Comply's?

Speaking of wide bores, the 1MORE Quad Drivers have a really huge bore, a lot bigger than the SW3. The 1MORE Quad Drivers are the best IEM's i ever put into my ears and idk when the next In-Ears will take them over but without spending about 500 - 1000$ or 1MORE releasing a new IEM they will be my IEM's for probably a long time. I can recommend them with all my heart and IMO they trump the SW3 in every aspect even though the SW3's are not bad at all.

How low do the quad drivers go? I can get audible volume at 4 Hz on the shockwaves.

That's NOT what reports I'm hearing about those Quads are saying. I'e heard Bassy and quite bright.

From where did you hear that? To my ears the SW3 were most definitely V-Shaped and too bright to my ears. On the offical thread there were a few posts stating that these have a kind of reference sound. To me they can sound bright on some tracks but never SW3 bright IMO. Bassy would be the least term i'd use for the quads, i'd even say they could use a touch more bass with silicon tips while the bass is balanced enough for me with foam tips.

They go as low as 10 Hz, idk if 4 Hz is even audible to the human ear LOL, but yeah, maybe you got some good ears.

Menuki, I am keeping my eyes open on these quads. Before I pop any more $$$ I want to see more reviews. Because you can only believe so much of what you read.

Thats true, everyone hears things differently and 200$ is cheap for these, but still a lot of money. If you were to buy them i'd look forward very much to your impressions! :)

They have been on my radar since 1more first announced them.. I had the hybrids but didn't go for the triples as I found that long metal standoff on the body that the cable connects to, gives me an awkward and uncomfortable fit. I find this also on the ATH ckr10. I'm glad to see they opted for a different build on the quads.

I just use those bass tests you can find on youtube, and 4 is the lowest I hear audible volume from the SW3's.
