check out the Sedna Crystal. They are the successor to the Xelastic and are more comfortable IMO.

Thanks for the tip, I will!

Has anyone successfully paired the AirPods Pro with the Hiby R3Pro with high enough volume coming from them?

I paired my AirPods Pro with my Hiby R3Pro but the volume is too low and I have tried increasing the volume to maximum on the R3Pro but the volume is still too low. I have tried using Bluetooth volume adjust on the R3Pro but it does nothing. There is no volume control on the actual AirPods Pro so I don’t know what to do.

I only have this problem on my Hiby R3Pro. When paired to my other devices such as my Garmin fenix6 Watch the volume is loud but the volume is only low when paired with my R3Pro.

If people here are curious about the new AP3 (AirPods 3rd generation), I receiving my pair today and here is some early impressions and photos comparing this with my AP2 (AirPods 2nd generation):

I'll be doing this comparison at some point. Though I need more time with the AP3 first... And a refresher on how the APP sound since I haven't used them in a more analytical fashion in a while.

Hm, looks like they're using adapters. I've never had luck with the adapters as removing them tends to break them. From pictures, the AirPods stick out a lot as well, though that might not be as much of an issue with a custom fit tip on it. You won't be sleeping with them though.

I was interested until I saw the price.

I was interested until I saw the price.

Same here! I was super excited, I like the idea and seem like they would function pretty well.

But GEEZ, $80 just for the impression kit, then $100 more for the actual silicon adapter?!?!?!?! Can't you get molds made at an ear dr for like $30?

EDIT: looks like they have some on their website (https://www.adv-sound.com/products/eartune-fidelity-custom-fit-eartips?variant=19293393387589) for $150, but you have to ship your own ear impressions...

i like AP3 more... more volume , less midcentric, better bass and at last not veiled highs

I have been listening Apple Music Lossless using Airpods Pro and I like it very much. I can see significant increase in sound quality in Apple Music Lossless. Its weird as the transmission is still 256 kbps AAC codec even though source is lossless

Is anybody experiencing the same using Apple Music Lossless?

So after the Spinfit tips started to wear out, I tried the new Sedna Xelastic and hated them. 1 month in and the heat activated shaping turned into a limp mess that didn’t seal. They might actually have less useful lifespan than a comply foam tip option.

So I tried the originals again and I am loving them. I had been having issues with these staying in my large ear canals but found a solution for that with ear hooks from proof labs.

I think I'll stick with these hooks and the Apple tips for the foreseeable future. Th apple tips do have a better timbre and are inexpensive. Now that they are functional, my tip journey is over.

Best way to EQ these is to make you’re own audiogram. I find the stock tuning to be good, but a tad dark so I add a bit up top to make them a bit brighter.
