Do NOT put Tri Clarion tips on Sony WF1K-XM5! They come off in the ears when removing the buds.
Which is a shame because they sounded great together.

I hope they make a slightly firmer material this time. But likely not the case. We'll see.

Never really understood the difference between the EP-FX9 and EP-FX10, by the way. My sets are all EP-FX10.

What is the opening dimension of the FX10? 4.5mm or 5mm?

Cheers

So far the TRI CLARION are the best.
Flanged at the bottom which is to me at least a no duh for proper fit without being large and bulky.

I always wear XL Eartips anyway though , so they fit and sound the best. I wonder if it’s also because of the large opening in front of the ear tip, where as most are around 4-4.5mm.

Nice. As an example of just how differently different tips can fit different people on different IEMs, I also have large ear canals and regularly need to hunt down 14mm and 14mm+ tips, but the Tri Clarions only work on one of my sets (Supermix 4) and not my others. Tips are the epitome of YMMV.

Does anyone have any experience with the orange hybrid tips on Aliexpress? There looks to be several distinct ones that look very similar though the sizing is differnt. im looking at the Earcovers Store tips and the slightly narrower bore ChicRain store version, as they both come in 14mm. Impressions on the sound and comfort of any of these orange hybrids would be great. I know the Renders are where its at for hybrids, but im shopping for my dad and sold him on some 5$ EDC Pros, so trying to keep the price down.

I've tried some. For me they worked better without the foam cores. Only used them for about an hour and moved on.

Yeah, about what I figured.

I tried the Tri Clarion with my VE EXT and have to say that they manage to present the sound itself with greater clarity and spaciousness. Unfortunately, compared to the Spinfit 100 Plus, a lot of the musicality is lost. Here, you’re trading intimacy, warmth, and softness of sound for a more distant clarity across all ranges. In the end, everything feels sharper and more detached. Vocals remain natural in tone, but they are too distant and cool to feel engaging and emotional.

Good now. I came to ask what are the most basshead eartips these days? I have Final Audio Type E, but I wonder, if there's more... I'm specifically looking for eartips that will boost the physical impact of the bass. I want to feel the most of it. I've heard that Penon Liqueur is the best in that department, but I've seen different opinions whether it's orange ones or black ones. I have orange ones, and Final E is still punchier than those. Will the black ones be better or nah?

The orange ones accentuate the bass more, the black ones are more neutral. If even the bass boost caused by the orange isn't enough for you, you need to look around for bassier IEMs

I’m personally not a fan of the Penon Liqueur. They muddy the bass across all my IEMs. In my experience narrower bores will punch up the bass while still keeping it tight (Spinfit c100, for example). But tips are such a personal thing that it’s impossible to extend one’s own experience to someone else. Really have to try them for yourself.

Why every review on headfi says that the black ones have more bass then?

I always felt like narrow bores are sacrificing way too much soundstage, so I'm trying to avoid narrow bores if that's possible.

I’ve found that soundstage width has a lot more to do with fit depth than anything else (the shallower the fit, the wider the stage). And for me, bass performance is what creates stage depth, so anything that improves bass performance (like narrow bores) increases stage depth. But like I said above, tip choice is very personal, so obviously YMMV. Good luck!

I have to endure some degree of pain to achieve this, for instance. Yep, that means assaulting my own ear canals. If you think you're ready, here are two eartips you could try: AZLA Crystal and Coreir (Brass or Al Alloy) -- the bigger the better.

For a painless physical experience, I would just get a bassy IEM with a strong DD and let the pain be in my wallet instead.

Cheers.

You might have a point here... I should test it out with my eartips.

Why are you having pain using those eartips? As for IEM I have a plenty of bassy options, ranging from bass monsters like KBear Rosefinch to something more mature and overall refined like ZiiGaat Doscinco, which I'm still trying to get used to, as I'm not a big fan of BA drivers. I just want to squeeze out the most physical slam out of my IEMs, as I absolutely love to rattle my scull with bass, ain't nothin' like it.
