I love the tips on the D4!! It makes them look like mini mushrooms, baby toads . Which tips are those?

They're my own hybrid olives. They are made with foam tips and silicone tips. I previously remove the plastic core from the foam tips and then insert them into the channel of the silicone tips.
These are the purchase links. I do well on some iems because I have a very wide channel, always use L size tips.

Other times, when I want to get something more bass I do the same with these two:

The good thing is that with those foam tips I don't have to remove the core because they come without.
With this foams you can use L and M size of silicone tips.
The result is that I get an optimal seal in surface insertion IEMs.

Awesome, this is right down my alley, I love tinkering like this and was looking for silicon/foam hybrids on Ali earlier.
I'll order the goodies and try them out. Lately I've been wanting to get a more extensive tip selection to use with my IEMS, as my IEM collection is growing. Any other tip recommendations? Variety is the spice of life they say.

I put some links of my favorite tips:
OSTRY OS100 OS200 OS300 for tunning sound (OS100 for treble, OS200 for mids, OS300 enhance bass and cuts treble, but not always the sound is natural):

Owned both ZSN (13 USD) and EP10 (10 USD), I think both are good for the price.Hi everyone, I'm just curious, I bought a tin audio t2 and niceHCK ep10, who can compare ep10 and kz zsn? I think to buy zsn, the reviews are so good.
ZSN have a more spacious soundstage and slightly less V-Shaped than EP1, the bass is more quantity on EP1.
To me, ZSN's clarity has slightly lower than EP1 (just very slightly)
Sumup: ZSN is easy to listen to for a long time, while EP1 should be for music that needs more bass.

I agree that ZSN has a more spacious soundstage and is less V-Shaped than the EP10, and also that there is much more bass on the EP10. To my ears, there is much quicker bass decay/bass feels "faster" on the ZSN as opposed to the EP10 which seems to have fairly more rumbly, impactful bass which decays slower/feels "slower." To me the difference is especially noticeable in a song I like to use for testing bass: where the rumbling dominant throughout the song attempting to mirror the shaking of a running motor just feels so good to listen to with the EP10 (bear in mind I only have a .WAV version ripped straight from the CD on my Shanling M0, so the bass won't be as pronounced here).
Clarity to me, however, feels quite better on the ZSN instead, maybe because the bass doesn't "cover" it as much.
I do agree with the sumup. And to conclude, if I had to consider that right now, the KZ ZSN can be had for around $24 CAD vs the EP10 for around $25 CAD, I'd say the ZSN is my pick for its greater versatility across genres and detachable cables.
Oh yeah, I realize I didn't mention the EP10's build quality in my first impressions post. The actual housings of the drivers feels super sturdy and weighty in my hand. The Y-split, chin slider, and cable end are all metal. Overall, substantial for the price.

So I opened all my 5 D4's to include KZ starlines in case I gift them (already gifted one to a friend and he's very happy with them!). Unfortunately, one pair sounds pretty dull. Mids are distant and the overall sound is noncoherent (while detail retrieval is still pretty good) compared to the other 4.
Anyone experience with NiceHCK after-sale service concerning stuff like this? I'm pretty sure I can't capture the difference in sound on video or something similar.
Jim sent me a new pair btw, for 0,1$, no questions asked. Great service and a reason to spend a little more to buy stuff in his store, in case he doesn't have the lowest price.

That sucks, was it just after ordering or after using them for a while? In my case, i did open my contact with: I just unpacked 5 pairs of the D4, 4 sounded great, 1 seems to be defective. Regardless, I'm happy to recieve a new pair (and an additional of those nice cases)!
Finally found out what's wrong with the EP10's I got. At first I thought the left side was dead but it started working later. It seems that every time they warm up, left side cuts out after a while and starts working again after cooling down. Pretty weird.
Same here, always getting excellent services from Jim, never disapointed.Jim sent me a new pair btw, for 0,1$, no questions asked. Great service and a reason to spend a little more to buy stuff in his store, in case he doesn't have the lowest price.
NiceHCK is probably one of the best (if not the best) NicestSTORE from aliexpress
NiceHCK are most certainly my favourite store on Aliexpress, always responsive, fast delivery and the fact they have excellent products
I'm supposed to film a video to prove that the problem mentioned above exists.
Bit too much trouble for a $8 purchase than I would like to be honest...
