Currently I work on the following with eartips -

Bass too bloomy - Sony MH755 tips
Treble too shrill - Dekoni Bulletz
All other cases - Spiral Dots or cheapo TRN silicone tips that cost next to nothing and get ordered in large quantities with AE orders. The TRNs are also great for putting with tipless MH750 and 755 to give away.
With the KBear F1 I use cheap foamies with the inner cut out stuffed inside the OEM tips as the nozzles are too thin to take standard tips.

I used my spiral dots++ on my no.3, taming the bass a little & make the soundstage a bit bigger

Spiral Dot ++ cost more than most of my IEMs. That said I am using Spiral Dots on my BL01 these days.

I can't seem to find a good deal on the Sedna in the UK.

Maybe post Brexit we will do a trade deal that gives us access to cheap eartips and free MH750s for every man, woman and child? [/HOPELESS OPTIMISM]

Don't get me started. If it actually happens I will probably be deported anyway. I am an immigrant.

did you use spiral dots before sedna? if yes, the differences are much affected because of spiral dots, I once comparing so many eartips, and spiral dots are nice for harsh, edgy IEM, if the IEM already have smooth profile, spiral dot made them "dull" or too tamed, too soft, less energetic and less dynamic. And What I've learnt that spiral dot kills the sharp imaging because of the dots, so depends on the IEM itself, you may need to carefully choose your eartips
Yeah I tried spiral dots ++, and liked the sedna more. They fit the blon better and myself too.

My local store here was selling their own tuned hybrid IEM that cost around $70. It was equipped with 1 DD + 2 BA and they were claiming it had balanced character. Detailed sounding yet natural. Few of the local artists here even used them on stage because of the hype in their circle & was pretty impressed with it. Should I give it a try? :thinking:

Wow, I would be tempted. Can you try before you buy? Do they have a demo unit? Use your own clean tips or new ones from them if they do. What does it look like?

Yep and we can listen to beautiful music as we starve to death and get buried in the new Brexit Cemetery.

Depends if you can afford $70 as a gamble. They are unlikely to beat ChiFi for bang for buck I'm sure but if they are tuned by local people they may be more to local tastes.

Kind of hard to put a like on that....

I'm ok. I'm fat. I should last at least a month.
