Hi, if anyone can answer my questions, thx ahead. I have a a few questions of is:

Q1: Final Audio E Clear or White - are they more comfortable than my: Final Audio Type E (Clear/Red) 2020 Edition.
I find the nozzle in middle nozzle hard & uncomfortable, and find the bit deep shape not very good.
(I prefer the JVC design.

Q2: is there any ear tips similar to Final Audio E in sound quality or sound quality of JVC Spiral Dot 1st Gen, but has comfort close to JVC Spiral Dot++ (EP-FX10).

Q3: has anyone tried JVC Spiral Dot SF (Short Flange / Shallow Fit),
is there any size difference with Spiral Dot++ (EP-FX10).
& is there more bass in SF version. (If there more treble & bass & same comfort = must buy for me.



I owned: 4 types of ears tips below, review.
Ranking in Comfort:
(1. JVC Spiral Dot++ (EP-FX10)
Comfort: 9/10, Holy Grail, for myself. Long hrs listening no problem, just sometimes slip out.

(2. Azla SednaEarFit (Light) Short - Tried M & ML, but feels ML a little large but has more comfort.
Comfort: 7.5-8/10

(3. Final Audio Type E (Clear/Red) 2020 Edition) - (Comfort Due to the middle hard nozzle tip = uncomfortable, & longer tips. size tried LL 13m or L 12m
Comfort: 7-7.5, depends sometimes i feel my ears feel a little pain, sometimes i can keep it in my ears for long time.

(4. JVC Spiral Dot (Regular) 1st Gen - Max 2 Hrs and hurts ears nozzle, tried both small, medium, large, Extra Large.
Comfort: 6.5/10,


Ranking in Sound Quality:
(1. JVC Spiral Dot (Regular) 1st Gen - best sound to me, due to tames harsh.
(2. Final Audio Type E (Clear, Clear/Red) 2020 Edition) - (could be 1 or 2. due to bass heavy more than 1.
(3. JVC Spiral Dot++ (EP-FX10) - if ONLY THIS has more bass i would have say This is my End Game.
(2. Azla SednaEarFit (Light) Short - better than stock tips sound, but its ok.

No they are not more comfortable.

The Sony Hybrid EP-EX11 might be what you're looking for as they also give a warm sound signature similar to the Final Audio tips however the material is much softer. I don't find the Spiral Dot++ sound signature to be comparable to those two, however.

From my collection, I'd give a try to Tanchjim T-APB eartips and Acoustune AET07 (or their clones). The sound of the T-APB T300T (wide) is fairly close to Sprial Dots 1st gen to my ears (the T300B would lean towards final E but with a bit less tamed treble). Comfort-wise and the softness are just as good as the SD++ to my ears.

Ordered the ePro EP00 for my 5mm nozzle IEM and only noticed today that the EP00 tips are 3.7mm. Will they fit? :frowning2:
Whether or not they fit would depend on the elasticity of the material, I imagine. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with that particular brand.

However, even if it fits, the opening of the IEM nozzle would still be smaller than the diameter of the IEM's nozzle.. In my personal experience this would result in a thicker sound with looser transients (ceteris paribus).
