I've got the tip selection sorted for my first pair of IEMs (Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite w/ 14mm Spinfit CP100). I'm now onto a new pair (Symphonium Meteor), but am having a really tough time figuring out the fit on this set. None of the tips and sizes I have are able to establish or maintain a seal.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Stock tips - all too small, including the foam tips
Spinfit CP100 (14mm) - seals well on my left, but not my right
Spinfit CP155 (13.3mm) - no seal
Spring Tip (14mm) - breaks seal after 10-15mins
Penon Liqueur (13.3 and 14mm) - same as CP100
Xelastec (14mm) - no seal
JVC Spiral Dots (14mm) - on order (Super* Review had luck with these on the Meteor)
I'm new enough to IEMs that I'm not sure where the issue lies. Is it a shallow or narrow nozzle that's causing problems? Do I just have an extremely weird or unusually large ear canal shape? Are there other tips or tip types that I should try next? Any mods or tweaks I can try that might expand the tips a bit?
