I'm new to the forum and have a question about ear tips causing skin irritation. I play bass in a covers/wedding band and use CCA C12s. While I am very happy with the sound, the stock tips and the SpinFits I replaced them with cause me skin irritation after every gig. My ears are sore, weep (I'll spare the details) and take five days to heel. Every week! I must have an allergy to silicone. I have looked at on ear alternatives and have tried cans from Sony and AKG but the sound quality is just not as good. We operate with a silent stage i.e. no guitar cabs on stage. Everything is mic'ed and goes out through the front of house PA. From that point of view, I am stuck with using some form of IEMs but just need some feedback from experienced forum users on tips that do not cause irritation or at best, it is minimal. From a quick search, I did see something here about the Sedna Max standards? Are they worth picking up? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I have similar issues and I've had the best luck with foam tips, especially the Misodiko ones that Moondrop rebrands and includes with some of their IEMs. TPE tips like Azla SednaEarfit Xelastec and Liquid Silicon Rubber (LSR) tips like Azla SednaEarfit Crystal are next best. 7Hz includes a pair of what appears to be an off-brand Crystal eartip with the Dioko, and Moondrop includes a new kind of off-brand Xelastec eartip with their new Stellaris. I've also had decent experiences with the Spinfit CP100 Plus, which is made of a higher quality silicone than the normal CP100.

I need Silicone ear tips with treble roll-off similar to Foam ear tips to tame bright IEMs. Any recommendations?

Final E black tips.

They retail around $15ish USD for a pack.


But pro tip (no pun intended): some IEMs include a S/M/L set of Final E black tips (eg Kinera Tyr, Final E500). And considering these IEMs sell around 20 bucks, think it as a kind of cheat code to get a set of Final E tips plus an IEM for $5 top up haha.

Thanks for this. I’d been wondering what the “plus” distinction was addressing between similarly numbered SKUs in Spinfit’s lineup.

I have designed and printed out a tips storage box

Yep. The plus indicates medical grade silicon.

You need to be careful with eartips for TWS. If you fit anything with a different profile than the original tips, You may find that the earpieces do not make proper contact with the case. If that happens they may not charge. When it happens it's a real PITA.

Hello, is there any difference between SONY tips EP-EX10AB.AE (black) and EP-EX10AW.AE (white) except for the tip colour? The white ones resemble the hybrid silicon stock tips provided as accessory with SONY IER-Z1R.

Any suggestions for eartips that is good for bqeyz topaz? Topaz nozzle stem are too short. T3 plus fits me best the stem are long enough.

Both the eartips included with topaz don't fit well because of the short stem

SpinFit CP100 are longer than most and work well on BL-03 which is infamous for shallow fit and short nozzle!
