I’m considering buying some high-end IEMs at some point later this year. Shure SE846 gen 2 look like a good option but I’ve seen a few people say they aren’t very competitive so looking for other recommendations. My use-case is entirely non-professional, just music and movies/tv. I mostly...

For medical reasons I've been told that for the timebeing I can't wear earbuds or over-ear headphones. Sucks to be me! So I'm now rocking the Shokz OpenFit. These are are a new kind of earbuds that hook around your ear and then have a tiny speaker that rests by the opening of the ear, but is...

For medical reasons I can't currently wear earbuds or IEMs so have had to give up my AirPods. The XM5 seemed like the best option for wireless over-ears with decent ANC so despite not really being a fan of over-ears I got them. I have to say I don't hate them quite as much as I thought I would...

I have worn earbuds my entire adult life, nothing about my usage patterns have changed. I never had a single ear infection until last year when I turned 40. In the space of last year I had a total of 4 ear infections, one of them fungal and the most recent one over xmas spreading to the middle...

Someone on here recommended the FX10 Spiral Dot++ eartips for the Pi7 S2 earbuds and I love them, they are the best sounding I've found by a long way. I was curious about the FX9 Spiral Dots, the older version, as our Singaporean friend with the eartip review compilation suggested they were...

This is amazing: https://www.audioreviews.org/guide-to-iem-silicone-eartips/ dude must have spent a small fortune just on eartips. The skeptic in me is wondering though how anyone can possibly be this discerning in their ability to accurately analyse the differences between eartips to this...

For various boring reasons I have ditched my other earbuds and gone back to Airpods Pro 2. I've found the Azla Max tips to be a significant improvement over the stock tips in that they irritate my ear canals a bit less. Planning to try some foam tips for maximum noise isolation at the office...

I realise this is a bit silly but I'm considering buying a pair of XM5 just to use the ANC feature over my earbuds for the office and for the london underground. Will they fit over a typical set of earbuds? The specific ones I have are B&W Pi7 S2, they do stick out of the ear a little bit but...

Need recommendations for TWS-style (short) foam tips for a 5mm bore. Comply have TW-400-C but they seem to be out of stock and they can't tell me when they'll get more.

Posting this in a separate thread because I want as many people with these earphones to know about this as possible. The Tri Clarions sound amazing on these earbuds, the fit is perfect for them leaving the entire nozzle exposed to the ear. These sound significantly better than anything else...

Recently got the B&W Pi7 S2 and have been exploring aftermarket tips for them. My favourites so far for isolation are the Sonicfoam tips, but they dull the sound a little so wanted to also get some silicone tips for listening at home that let the headphones shine a bit more. The stock tips...

Is anyone aware of any comparison work done to determine which foam tips provide the greatest isolation? I'm currently using Sonicfoam which seem pretty good but if other tips would offer better isolation that would be of huge benefit to me (I travel to work on loud tube trains and work in a...

I don't normally review things but I feel I have something to say about these so here goes. The Pi7 S2 are true wireless earbuds offered as a revamped version of the original Pi7, which I've never owned and didn't know about until recently. For earbuds they are expensive - £350, a full £100...

Looking for recommendations for tips again, for Pi7 S2. The stock tips aren’t bad, have also tried Final Audio Type E and SpinFit CP145. All of these are ok but there’s very little friction stopping them from sliding out, eg if I push gently on the top of the earbud they just slide out easily...

I used to have the XM4, now have the Pi7 S2. I remember the tips on the XM4 were really good, fit my ear nicely, comfortable, isolated well, but Sony want £26 PER SIDE for them which is frankly ridiculous. I might consider it if they fit the stems on the Pi7 S2 and work well but I'm not willing...

Just noticed something weird on my Pi7 S2 that I didn't notice before - turning on ANC seems to quite dramatically increase the bass. Anyone else finding this? I thought maybe it was my aftermarket tips but I swapped back to the stock ones to test and it's the same. Both "On" and "Auto" modes...

Got the Pi7 S2 and I absolutely love them. They're bloodying annoying to use but all is forgiven for that sound! The stock tips aren't the most comfy, I had some Symbio Ws lying around which are comfier but don't seal as well so I lose some of the low end. Not a fan of comply I find they...

I have AudioEngine A5+ speakers and mostly listen over bluetooth. Wondering if getting the AudioEngine DAC would make any significant difference? Reviews are good but I mostly listen to 256kbps AAC files.

Anyone have any good suggestions for what to do when these inevitably get clogged with wax? I tried to get Sony to send me a few spares but they flat out refused, said the only option would be to send the earpieces in for service which seems really silly. Are there any aftermarket filters that...

After much anticipation I finally received my custom moulds today from Ultimate Ear for the Sony WF-1000XM4. It was a lot of hassle getting to this point, my first appointment with the audiologist had to be rescheduled due to ear wax buildup, but finally they arrived. To say I am disappointed...

I just got the AudioEngine A5+ wireless speakers and I absolutely love the way they sound but now I want a subwoofer to complete the system. This will mostly be for music and occasional gaming/tv. I don't want anything too powerful that might annoy the neighbours. Both of these units seem like...

Is there any way to determine what size CP240 I should get? I have medium size foam tips but they rest against my ear canals rather than inside so probably aren't a good measure. I'm learning towards either small or just ordering both and returning one. Would be grateful for any tips (lol)

If I wanted to EQ some headphones so that the response curve was as flat as possible (taking into account human ear anatomy and the dip in certain frequencies) how could I measure it scientifically so that I could adjust it without relying entirely on my subjective experience? What equipment...

I think WF-1000XM4 are supposed to sit inside the ear canal. For me though with many different tips nothing stays in my ear canal, the small ones just fall out and medium and large stay in my ear but they sit just outside the ear canal. What's odd though is I do get a good seal both with medium...

Trying to decide whether to get custom moulds or not. The main thing that puts me off is that the headphones (Sony WF-1000XM4) wouldn't fit in the charging case with them on. I found a size of the Comply tips that fit my ears, noise cancellation is excellent, comfort top notch and they stay in...
