Thought of custom tips?
I have the ADV Eartune Fidelity tips. My Solaris OG was used for the master for these tips. The current version with the large bore hole works great with all three Solaris models, OG, SE and 2020.

They are extremely comfortable and improve the sound significantly over any of the tips I tried. I also like how you can keep the custom tip in your ear and only remove the Solaris when you need it to talk to someone.

It does take a little time to get used to how to insert them. What I find works best is insert the tip and make sure it's fully seated, specially the top part of the tip that fits between the Crus of helix and Inferior crus of antihelix (this picture shows what I'm talking about, https://www.researchgate.net/figure...-Antihelix-3a-Superior-crus-of_fig1_332735738). Then insert the Solaris.

The only downside to these tips is with the OG and SE because they are so large they will stick out a bit more than with the normal tips. The Solaris 2020 doesn't stick out as much.

Does anyone own both Solaris 2020 and BGVP DM6? Mind posting side by side pics? DM6 hurts my ears and I would like to know if Solaris 2020 will fit my weird ear canals.
Quite different in shape but more or less comparable in size. Hope the images help!

Great track which brings out the best in Solaris. Etheric, spacious and beautifully deep and textured bass.

This track is great! Minimal is a bit of an uncharted territory for me so it's always great to discover some quality stuff. Thanks man :)

Really like the song right after it on the album too (Devil Ray)

Lol, I didn’t even get them yet and I’m looking at cables already. What material type will be better for these? Silver or Copper? Just curious.

Welcome... looking forward for the impression...

regarding cable... mine prefer SPC with 8 braids 26 AWG, with Balance connections...

edit: better focus on finding ear tip first that suit you, before cable

DeepChord is one of the greats. Here's another solid track (I'm addicted to the subterranean bassline in this one):
