does that (the grill side) enters the ears sideways? looks uncomfortable..

I used to jam the original Apple earbuds in my ears "sideways". It sounded a lot better because it was firing into the ear canal, instead of 90 degrees like earbuds are usually worn.

Also, I'm sure that Sony model comes with foams. But probably, like most manufacturers, they take photos of earbuds without foam covers for some reason (they probably think it 'looks cooler' or some such guff). I don't know anyone that wears earbuds without foam covers, yet manufacturers keep doing it for some reason (like this):

there are some earbuds that can get away using them without foams and not loosing bass response, but usually i would still find them a little loose on fitting and also prone to driver flex if i push them too flush to my ears...so i always ended up using the foams
i even put some earbuds foam on my iems that are prone to driver flex, because it seems they help a little to let the air flow a bit when pushing it in the ear (not too much vacuum). it will flex too sometimes, but significantly lesser times

Finally someone who wears earbuds like I do. This sideways insertion actually points the driver better towards my canal but half of it gets blocked, the best would be somewhere in the middle which can only be achieved by holding them with hands. This sideways insertion also sometimes requires me too loop cables over ear.

I actually wear Auglamour RX-1 without foams because it almost forms a seal in my ear with that smaller driver (almost, bass is still better with foams but not significantly so like with MX buds)

Yeah, I know if earbud lovers would try them sideways they would be hooked. It's like the best of both worlds between an IEM and an earbud.

Back when I used to wear earbuds sideways, I thought about various ways to make them stay in place. Although I never followed though with it (because I got into IEMs instead), my idea was to use something like the Radians earplug silicone putty kit. Insert the earbuds in the ears sideways, and then form the putty so it fills in the ear.

Unfortunately No, this foam one are for earbuds....the one I search are for iem, its like silicone tips with a foam toque.

I saw those a while back, and while they looked interesting I ultimately decided against trying them.

How they make those is when the silicone is wet they "sprinkle" them with the little fibers. I was afraid that those little fibers would rub off in my ear canal (no thanks). Especially since silicone is naturally non-stick, I believe the little fibers would have a hard time staying stuck to the silicone after using them for a few uses.

I'll let someone else be the guinea pig on those

It arrived! 9 days... That's rather fast
I put earbud foams on the nozzle, put some tac on the bass vent, and using my go to-favorite wide bore tips (similar size to the stock ones, but softer).

Are those Samsung Galaxy IEM tips?

i don't know, i purchase them from my local online store for about half a dollar per pack of three, and fortunately, they are my most comfortable eartips ever that i use them on almost all my iems. They are similar to the Einsear T2 stock ones

Hi guys. I wanted to check out QKZ W3 Pro, which is supposed to be an upgrade version of the popular W1 Pro. Has anyone tried it? Also, in the QKZ store on Ali there are two models, W3 Pro and DM300. Am I crazy or are they exactly the same?

I've been thinking of buying 2 pin and mmcx cables in the 20eu range for IT01 & KZ but I wonder if there are any sub 50 IEMs worth getting for their cable?

Depends on the stock cable. If it's terrible, for example the KZ ones, you have no choice but to upgrade it.

Btw, the $8 KZ upgrade cable is good enough for KZ iems.
