This will be my first CanJam and I'm particularly interested in trying out a bunch of IEMs - should I bring my own tips or anything like that? What's the protocol with trying out IEMs? Made an account just to ask this

It's a good idea to bring your own if you have any, especially if you have a preference to which ones you like. It'll be hard to cover all dimensions of ear tips that you might need though, but its a good gesture to have some of your own. Looking at coverage of the SoCal CanJam most IEM's i saw there didn't have any attached so i'm not sure how much stock and what kind were available.

Manufacturers will generally speaking provide their own tips for your consumption.
My recommendation is to head for HiFi Headphones first, as in the past they have had Final E-Type tips to give away, which I personally think are the best tips on Earth. Someone will have Comply, someone will have Dekoni, someone will likely have Spinfit.This will be my first CanJam and I'm particularly interested in trying out a bunch of IEMs - should I bring my own tips or anything like that?

In other words you probably don't need to bring tips. I bring alcohol wipes (sealed single type)because I just use the tips that are there.
What you should bring is your current IEM and DAP. Don't worry too much beyond that. Have fun! Sorry for your wallet!
Hé only a few days to London, can't wait ..
Hope to share some photo's and tell more after!!!

As stated many manufacturers do provide tips for testing IEM's however I have mostly found that they tend to have medium/small sized tips only with my need for large I take a selection of Comply Tips (varying bore sizes), which I bring along for my own comfort and peace of mind.This will be my first CanJam and I'm particularly interested in trying out a bunch of IEMs - should I bring my own tips or anything like that?

Well we're not going as HiFiHeadphones this year, we are instead representing Campfire Audio. However we will have Final E tips, and we will also have Spinfit tips but only have M size tips from them.
Does this mean @KB and his team are not coming?Well we're not going as HiFiHeadphones this year, we are instead representing Campfire Audio. However we will have Final E tips, and we will also have Spinfit tips but only have M size tips from them.

Thanks for all the helpful tips everyone. I am pumped!

That's good news for me - the CA Andromedas are one of the IEMs I'm most interested in trying.

They are one of my all time favourites.

Just noticed Sony are not on the list.. Do you know if they have any plans to attend, or have any exhibitors demo-ing their product range?

Hey KEV G,
Sadly I can not make it this year, however our distributors table will have our full line up and our full support. Our very awesome partners in the UK, KS Distribution http://www.ksdistribution.co.uk
We sent our full kit of display demos and promo gear for the KS booth and we do hope you can pop by and have a listen.
Cheers,
ken

This often happens at the London CanJam for whatever reason. There are often big name brands missing without any real explanation. Some companies appear to support the US shows, Asia and even other events in Europe. Astell & Kern would be a prime example. Sennheiser another. This is my 3rd year so fingers crossed for this years list of exhibitors@third_eye
