Best IEM tips?

[dazy]

I find for really tight stretch fit licking one side, just a tiny bit, of the nozzle serves as a lubricant. Keep the side you start with dry so it grips, then the other side slides on much more easily than if it was dry.

With the omni I've gotten them on iems with a 6.5mm nozzle but it did take a bit of effort

this thread is a much needed discussion , I've bags of tips . what i have found is really try the makers tips before trying new ones . burn the buds in first and get to know the sound . try some EQ , play known songs . then try others . if the maker gives an app that suggests the tips are in good . ok yes there seated but we must still learn the sound . my left ear canal is larger then my right and i guess the outer part of the ear canal is smaller . so if I'm using the Sennheiser tw3 buds i need the large tip , but medium rim cushion . if not it can seat well .
a pair of noble focus prestige I've hated until i forced myself to try there tips lol . now i like them . its not just the seal its how the seal is made . how deep , how much of the outside of the iem is making good contact on the ear rim .
you can stop at sound isolation , but this maybe not correct . a person posted here of tips with metal in inside . $50.00 a pair , guess who has them and i forgot me ! i even have tiny inserts to place inside the tips above where it seats on the iem opening . great sound changes , great tips . but not for all iems . i even bought mold kits from UM , they iso great but do effect the sound too . universal IEMS are a mind field of getting through . least EQ needed and if you can lower freq to raise others try this before adding . this is an old school method long forgotten .

Got a couple pairs of Eletech Baroque ML. Initial impressions, very good. Very soft and comfortable with a broadening of the stage and a slight taming of the treble extension. Spendy little devils at $15/set shipped. Vastly better seal for me vs. Divinus wide bore.
