Sold Solaris because of the shell size but ended up coming back to solaris. Nowadays, I don't really use iems more than 2 hours anyways...

Had U12t, u18, and solaris all at the same time. Both u12t and u18 sounded more analytical than solaris. Felt like I was listening more to sounds than music.

This is why I'm so eager to hear the Solaris. Most high end audio feels a little too scientific and truthful to me. I want to hear music, not truth. Tell me a beautiful sonic lie, please.

ended up fidgeting with both the SElaris and solaris OG, found a superdeep fit (whole nozzle inside) which lets the SElaris outshine OG by a mile, opens soundstage massively and brings in depth and control.

DD elements also took control over bass and mids which brought the sound to a truly beautiful place!

Which tips are you using?

u12t and u18t are two great IEMs...but they're a little on the analytic side for some. Solaris sacrifices a little of the sheer resolution and detail for a more musical flavor. Some other great IEMs along those lines are the 64 Audio Tia Trio, EE Legend X, Vision Ears VE8 and Sony IER Z1R.

I would love to get some Spiral Dots ++ but can't seem to find them for a reasonable price.

Indeed they are-- but that can be great in certain circumstances. The speed, precision and detail of u12t is great for metal. I also have a friend who listens to a lot of chamber/baroque music where it's just like one person and a cello-- with u12t it sounds like there's nothing between you and the person playing the instrument...it's pretty spectacular.

@Rockwell75 i'd recc spiral ++, worth it.

do you have any experience with EST iems?
i'm currently hovering over plunge audio unity 7 to see what'll come out of it, tribrids are seriously interesting.

wonder if the next solaris/cfa flagship will be a tribrid

No I haven't. The one I'm most curious about is the VE Elysium.

i'll probably take a leap of faith and go for the unity 7 once a uni version comes out.

Hi guys, just picking your brains a little. I'm currently using a pair of Symbio W Peel tips (the ones without the foam inserts). It sounds good and all, but I'm hoping to find a tip out there that can enhance the bass presence a little without altering any of the other aspects of the OG Solaris.

For that matter, what are some of your favorite tips? I'd love to tip roll and try some new combinations. Thanks in advance!

I used spiral dots with solaris

 

[cantsleep]

Clear Final audio eartips for me. I dont know why but clear tips feel better than black ones.

 

[Rockwell75]

Sednas are my favorite tips.

 

[cr3ativ3]

The new spin fits 2019 version are also great or Acoustune AET07a but didn't tried those with solaris

Seconded, I've tried Symbio, Final E, spinfit, and the stock ones but spiral dots were the best fit.
