Got some Comply T-400`s in small size and my love for the Vega has been renewed haha. I was using the stock Medium foam included by Campfire for the past couple months which was great too but I suppose small is the perfect size for me... Everything just sounds that much better. I was only using the mediums because the stock smalls had gotten ripped up.

These foam tips sure don't last very long but they sound damn good. I'm gonna be very careful with them this time around and hopefully they last a while.

Vega bass just sounds so awesome when you have a perfect seal. Love it.

Good to hear this- is the bass tight and texured?

Thx for the feedback, looks like I'll stick with the Campfire foams for now. My sole issue with them is the need to keep replacing them, otherwise they're great. Been trying the Spinfits but they make the bass a bit too bloated. Maybe one day I'll go nuts and order 300 foam tips.

Hi Fuhransahis,
 
Same here, I preferred the Campfire foams over Comply, to buy them here in the UK we have to pay the import duty, so I looked at another option at Head-Room London recently, which are custom
made tips made by scanning the inside of your ear, like CIEM's but smaller. They are made by a company called Snugs in the UK, link below. Head-Room London was a week and a half ago and I haven't taken delivery yet, but had a good chat with the guy on the stand about how they may alter the sonic signature of my Lyra II's, he said there would be a difference, but if you handle either the Campfire or the Comply tips the core is quite soft, especially the Campfire foams, so there is a certain amount or collapsing going on every time you insert the IEM into your ear, and the foam forms a different shape depending on how deep you insert the IEM into your ear. The Snugs get over this by bing a constant shape every time you insert them. As soon as they arrive, I'll report back as to how they change my Lyra II's if this is of interest. Hope this helps.

Have similar stuff coming (custom tips) from Custom Art as well, so will be good to get opinions on both manufacturers. I'm also based in the UK, but the Custom Art option were only £50 so a little cheaper than Snugs if you already have ear impressions available I think.

Just took delivery of a set of Andromeda this afternoon from another HradFi'er to compare against my Vega when I get them back - going to be a fun few weeks!

Custom tips are my last (but hopefully best) solution, and I've been waiting to hear feedback from those who've ordered them before going ahead with it, esp since Snugs and Custom Art are the two options I'm considering. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when they arrive! Any pictures would be great too if possible, I'm curious as to how they might look.

Really looking forward to your impressions, and how the frequency range is effected.

My 2nd brand new vega just arrived. I sold my first one couple weeks ago and bought a u12 apex. But i missed the sound of vega so much and u12 sq isn't my taste. So i returned it and bought a vega again. Im so crazy lolz.

I have impressions on the way to Piotr at Custom Art now. I finally decided to order custom tips for a pair of incoming Lyra II's. I looked for information from others on custom tips but couldn't find too much, so went ahead and just took the plunge. I've always been curious and I have not had the best luck getting good fit with conventional tips - I've tried singe, double, and triple flanged silicone, comply and other foam tips, spin tips (which seem to really bring out bass). So I'm hoping a custom tip will be comfortable and seal well.
 
I'll post when they get here in a few weeks...

alo reference 8 (299 usd) sounds exactly the same as ibasso cb12 (89 usd) in my opinion

 

[hung031086]

That ref8 i bought and returned after a day. It's springy, i don't like it.

 

[pervysage]

I wonder how the work is going on the Campfire full size headphones. If they sound anything like the Vega I need them now!

Those were my thoughts too, springy, and had quite a bit more microphonics than the litz cable. Been using it a week or so, and honestly I dont know if its just me, but I dont hear any big differences in sound, or much really at all. Might be time to sell it on and just go back to the litz.

IMO the sonic benefits aren't significant enough to overcome the poor ergonomics.

I heard them at can jam NYC and they still need some work. Still in the prototype stage.

My OC UE X cable will arrive soon, hope it matches with Vega
