Best IEM tips?

[matze76287]

Over the years, I have also built up a small collection ...

In my experience, there are almost no really bad ear tips. However, the result depends very much on the individual ear or hearing. For example, I don't get on at all with the popular Spinfit CP100(+). And I also use different tips for each IEM.

But I usually reach for these first:

Azla SednaEarfit (shorts)
Symbio F (foam)
Symbio W peel (silicone only)
Softears UC
Azla Crystal

Pentaconn Coreir have raised the tip bar for me…solid bass with a slight mid bass bias, detail, separation and soundstage next level…not cheap but a big ’s from me.

I am also very interested in these. However, because of the high price, I want to be relatively sure that I am ordering the right size. Do you have a comparison with other well-known tips?

I wonder how the clear differ in sound verse the black?

Does you guy have any suggestions for a tip that can reduce mid bass(not sub bass as my iem is rather focus on the mid bass) and reduce the lower mid while also boost upper mid and treb,thanks.

Hello, I just have a quick question if anyone knows the answer. I just got my first pair of iem planar which are these Artti T10 I wanted to get foam tips because I find the silicone aren't comfortable for my ears and was wondering if any foam iem tips would work or does it need to be specific size because I was looking at these Comply but Im not sure if they will fit and I was also looking at Dekoni as well. Thanks!

Check out Sonicfoam---In my mind as good as the Complys and last longer.--for about a quarter of the price.

@Mooses9 , which tip are you referring to? The Azla SednaEarfits?

All these tips are size large from L to R Sony EP-EX10A, Spiral Dots, Final E’s, SpinFit CP 145 and Coreir hope this helps ...

The Divinus Velvet tips from Korea are quite an interesting eartip.



They cost about $19 USD (https://hifigo.com/products/divinus-velvet) for 3 pairs, and come in 5 sizes. Pretty lint/dust free, with a matte smooth feel.

The inner bore is narrower than the outer bore, though I would still classify it as a wide-bore tip.



They are pretty comfortable for my ears, with above average isolation.

Sound-wise, the Divinus Velvet imparts a neutral bright lilt, and increases air, treble and soundstage. It is a good pairing for darker/warmer transducers, but might not be that synergistic with sibilant IEMs. This is a good option for folks who want to increase treble and clarity in the soundscape.

Do they really help with IEMs with poor ventilation?

Yes, thanks. I have all of them here myself except for the Sony. I think it's time to place an order for the Coreir

If you mean the Azla SednaEarfit ...

The black ("regular") ones have a firmer material than the transparent ("light") ones. This leads to slightly more bass due to the better insulation, but probably also to more reflections in the high frequencies. Personally, I find the transparent "light" version somewhat more balanced and use it more often. But that is certainly very individual.

I find the wearing comfort almost the same, although the softer "light" tips are often described as more comfortable.

Are you asking if they help with driver flex?

I think foam tips are better to fix driver flex, as they are porous and will let some air past, instead of crumpling the diaphragm of the driver.

Yeah I was referring to that because I saw in their promotion saying that they help with venting I bought my Tang Sancai for that reason btw thank you for answering
