Anyone here possibly willing to trade some small Symbio W's for some medium and large pairs? I have at least 3 pair of medium and 1-2 of large.

I have a ridiculous number of tips and I find that depending on the bore diameter, bore geometry, bore length, and sound signature of the IEM, I can't find a perfect tip. You just have to roll until you find the one, well at least the one for that moment. As if this wasn't already a mess with DACs and amps. I have expensive tips and cheap ones, they just all fit different AND the IEM bore features change the fit of the tip. Some cheap tips are a waste while others are more valuable than the expensive ones. My favorite tips aren't always the best which is unfortunate.

I keep reading good thinks about spin fit. I don’t have any. But you should look into those.

My Faaeal Hibiscus came with spin fits. Good tips. I probably will buy more myself. But there are many models.

But my tips that will work, if all else fails are these

ALXCD Triple Flange Ear Tip, 6 Pairs S/M/L Size Triple Three Flange Noise Isolate Silicone Cushion Ear Bud Tips with 4mm Connector Hole, Fit for Most In Ear Earphone (Black)[S/M/L]

I am looking for some help -- I got the below tips with the Memt X5, and love the tips better than the IEMs. I would like to buy more of these tips -- anyone know where I can get more of these? Thanks in advance.

Man, you used those double-felange tips for so long the plastic managed to harden and warp. XD

=) They sound exceptional on my niceHCK M6, as well as the FLC8s, so yeah, I use them daily for the last 2 years.

Has anyone tried inserting Comply foam into a Symbio tip? Is that a crazy idea? I feel like the Symbio foam is too rigid and won't expand in my ear canal.

As things stand, neither Comply/Symbio are working for me so I may as well get creative with them.

You should be able to find eartips like that on Amazon and Aliexpress.

Thanks, I have looked, and even ordered some, on both Ali and Amazon, and they are not the same. But I keep looking!

You may be out of luck finding them separately. I looked through all the silicone tip listings on AE not too long ago and don't recall exactly those being for sale. But I see the x5 for about $13 on AE... So not too bad. Maybe giveaway the iem as a gift?

There is the sennheiser style double flange tips that are a shallower fit but do have 2 flanges the same diameter. And cheap, about 1.50 shipped for the set.

Thanks for the info -- I already have the Senn's and they arenot quite right; as for the X5 -- I have spent more on Complys that I dont use so much than 13.00 and get a X5 in the process. Sounds like a plan. Thanks.

Yes, @DynamicEars wrote about it here. They work well.

I've ordered a pair iBasso IT01S IEMs and wonder what alternative tips I should try with them. Any IT01S owners thoughts ? My own first thought are SpinFit ... does anyone know which SpinFit model would fit ?

 

[Infoseeker]

Exactly to size Spinfits are not necessary. You can get smaller bore eartips for more bass. Or a wider one for more treble and less bass.

But that Ibasso IT01S looks like it has a huge wide nozzle bore. Maybe the Cp155 (5.5mm inner nozzle) would fit it well. Incase you want to adjust bass, also buy a model with a smaller inner nozzle like the Cp100z (4mm inner nozzle) .
