Nice!!

Give us a pro tip later k. No pun intended.

LOLS...

LOLS...

Including TEN∃T inspired inverted tips, lols...

Will share my impressions, soon...

The Small Data Base is on-going, (14) pairs for starters...

Thanks for doing this and for sharing the results with us.

While waiting, do you mind sharing your comparison method?

Something like this. ofc, i'm open to suggestions, what's best for all, if i can do it...

Maybe put like how does it change the bass/mids/treble, or say soundstage? And perhaps a bit about isolation/comfort.

But of course ear tips are as personal as shoes, we all have different ear anatomy and hearing health, so it's a YMMV situation.

What I struggle with personally when I describe how tips affect sound is... "Compared to what?" If we say a model adds bass, what is it in comparison to? Because we can't compare it to not using tips, haha

Yeah, tip rankings are very personal. So everyone has to take it with a big grain of salt.

Here is mine btw:

Maybe use a baseline eartip that is considered neutralish, for example Spinfit CP145. And one can then make comparisons of bass/treble amount etc based on it. An even better option, is if you have graphing equipment, one can even show objective changes with different tips affecting the bass/treble/mids. Unfortunately, areas like isolation and comfort and soundstage are much harder to show objectively with tip changes.

Anyways speaking about Spinfits, I would recommend the Spinfit CP145 for those that want something with a longer nozzle that is very comfortable with a good fit. And I like that as it is neutralish, it doesn't really change the sound signature of the paired IEM. It has quite a middle of the road bore sizing too, so in general it fits quite a few different IEMs, other than those with super thin/thick nozzles. In view of the longer nozzle, it can give extension for problematic short nozzle IEMs like the infamous BLON BL-03, in fact i use spinfit CP100 and CP145 for the BLON BL-03 (and I bought a few BLONs as christmas gifts and included spinfits inside). The CP145 is more neutralish, the CP100 adds a tinge of midbass when paired with the BLON BL-03, so bassheads maybe can opt for the CP100.

Compared to the stock tips, of course.
But, most certainly, between those tips in the data sheet, there will be comparisons among them, No doubt...

Yep, that's the idea. I have chosen & used these tips for a very long time. They qualify as most neutral...

LOLS, i do not have Have A LOT of iems in my stable. I honestly didn't know this pair wontt Fit ALL iems, until i saw your sheet.
I only got about a dozen iems & they fit all.

I am choosing the aet07 as the most neutral ear tip in my lot...

lol, yeah. Perks of having an enormous collection (around 70 iems lol).
