You're actually holding something that can be used as a reference measuring tool - because the diameter of the ferrule (locking ring) on the MMCX connector is ~3mm.I wonder, has anyone ever achieved a seal while the tips are barely in the ear canal at all? Apparently I got that with:
Sadly I have no idea where these tips come from... How they arrived to my doorstep is a mystery to me.
Because of such shallow insertion you'd think I'd lose on bass extension... turns out I get about 20Hz more extension than any of the stock tips I've tried.
Also can anyone estimate the bore diameter by looking at them? I have no idea how to measure this and I don't have anything to measure this anyway.
I tried using the bottom of the cable plug since that's apparently 4.4mm, although all I can figure out from this is that it's wide enough that the bottom of the jack goes though.You're actually holding something that can be used as a reference measuring tool - because the diameter of the ferrule (locking ring) on the MMCX connector is ~3mm.
The majority of ear canals are oval shaped and have the top/bottom as the long side IIRC. Ymmv, in angle and shape, as everyone's ears are shaped differently.Recently got to try out EARTUNE FIDELITY U, which is the one with oval shape.
Their largest size called large wasn't large enough to fit me ears. They need to make an XL.
I don't see how oval shape can work. I was confused how the oval should be oriented.
Although due to fit I couldn't assess properly, I found the highs to be improved by these. Perhaps it's due to the angled outlet at the end of the sound canal?
Align the oval vertically when you insert them. Of course that won’t make them any larger. Maybe try them with IEM’s that have a deeper insertion, just to see how they fare in that scenario.Recently got to try out EARTUNE FIDELITY U, which is the one with oval shape.

Alignment isn't simple with a fixed orientation due to not knowing precisely how the iem will be oriented when on the canal.
thanks for this because I am finding that the CCA's are so particular (crashy highs and whatnot) ...I am trying to find the right tips for these before I make a decision to send them back or not...Going to give these a shot on my CCA CA16. Not primarily for a sound variance, more so for retention. As my Tennmak Ultra Strong tips sometimes choose to stay in my ear canal.
Linsoul Tripowin Spiral Groove Memory Foam Eartips

The Linsoul Tripowin Spiral Groove Memory Foam Eartips ended up in my drawer of regret. The rebound time of the memory foam is on par with a senior citizen, in the Express lane, at the grocery store. I had to actually hold the CA16 in place, for more than 15 seconds, while waiting for the tip to decompress, in my ear hole.
