Great review Chris - nailed it. You and I seem to have very similar thoughts and preferences. Very much agree on the fit too. Shure Olives will fit if you stretch them - and you can then have a great shallow seal.

Great review and clear disclaimer. I feel warm and fuzzy 
Seriously. I can see why Brooko digs it. It's good for the merchant and the buyer and it is full of info. NAILED IT!!

Thank you, buddies!
Paul - I'm definitely going to try the Shure Olives this evening. I'm not really a fan of foam tips (though the Shure and Crystalline Audio tips are indeed quite good), but I've got a feeling those might harmonise well with the SIRIUS and my ears. All non-stock silicone tips I've tried with the A91 didn't work as well as the stock silicones for me (less even treble, honky/shouty mids, reduced upper highs - all attributes that the stock silicone tips did not give me).

I may have missed this in the review, but what did you use to drive these?

"For listening, I used the Luxury & Precision L3 in balanced mode and the iBasso DX90, DX80 as well as the LH Labs Geek Out IEM 100 and last but not least Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII in single-ended mode.
For critical listening and comparisons to other in-ears, I used the DX90 and Geek Out IEM 100."

I really wish there were many more shops in Germany that carry in-ears and allow for physical demo directly in-store.
