Might have different sized ear canals and need different sized tips in each ear

I think you're right...I thought my right ear had smaller canal, but strangely having a larger tip in my right ear than my left is more comfortable. What is this sorcery

Its normal. Sometimes i felt mine will expand or contract.

Thanks for the reassurance. Too bad I don't have any other size for the spiral dot tips...gah it's a pain to find single pairs.

Why not try the default silicon tips?

Well, thanks for the help guys. Looks like I'll have to order a smaller sized pair.

I did. The stock silicone tips measure about 10mm, 12mm, didn't measure the largest one. My 11mm MS sized spiral dot tips fit my right ear perfectly and the 12mm stock is too big. The 10mm stock tip was too small for my left ear, couldn't create a seal. I have a pair of M sized spiral dot tips which measure 12mm, but stock medium is slightly smaller than the spiral dot tips, so the 10mm spiral dot should fit perfectly for my left ear. I need to order those I also have spinfit tips and they are the largest. The 11mm spinfit tips are almost as large as the 12mm stock one.

Yeah i have three sets of jvc.

One different size in each ear.

I find i need larger in the summer, and smaller in the winter. Hence the three sizes.

Also some iems work better with different sizes.

I am thinking of buying one more size.

It's too bad they won't sell a variety pack. I understand it's a business scheme, but come on...

Heres the ones I have

I had the size written on the last post but am not exactly sure of the mm

Both stock and spiral dot mediums measured 12mm, but for me stock felt a slightly smaller than spiral dot. Spiral dot medium hurt to a point I could feel it, stock was just very bulky, no pain though. Have you compared both in terms of size?

I rechecked the sizes I posted and then deleted and they were accurate (by what the box says).

Picture to illustrate. I added MS which I will buy next.

Always good to have spare sizes one up and down to what you would normally use If small doesn't work out for me, I will have to use ms and m

Here you go.

The first photo best shows how they match up in size (by the jvc i have).

JVC is more thicker in the silicone body/build.
Also more bulbous. Also seems slightly taller.

The CA stock seems a bit more flat top pyramid shape. Large is bulbous, not as much as the jvc, Med slightly so. Softer shell.

Here are the ones i have side by side. I dont know what size JVC ST would match the small CA Stock

Thanks! CA stock tips definitely have a smaller bore than spiral dot tips. I can get a better fit with the stock, but I wish they offer more sizes. The spiral dot tips are very special and I think it does well with andromeda, I can just sense the difference in soundstage depth vs. spinfit tips right away. Spinfit tips lacks depth, but width and layering is about the same resulting in a flat 2d sound. It sounds pretty good though. Less bass response with slightly attenuated treble response vs. spiral dot tips does well my low output imp source.
