Wow just bought some micropore tape for my Tin Hifi P1 and damn, the bass ( specifically the Sub-bass) increased to an acceptable level with my M11 and extremely good on my Atom amp! wonder if ordinary tape will increase the bass more :thinking:...

Normally vent holes tape mod will increase bass but quality isnt the best. Bloaty. I heard the P1 paired best with Power DAC v2 by e1da, they have eq setting for P1 and sounded the best.

Agree with @DynamicEars on tape mods giving higher quantity bass, though usually bloated bass. Also tape mods seem to increase the chance of driver flex in Dynamic drivers for the times I've tried it. I'm also hesistant to use it cause I dunno if the diverted pressure build up (now that the bass port is blocked) may affect the eardrums in the long term.

Well with micropore which do allow some airflow doesnt feel bloaty at all, still retains all the quality but with extra quantity with the P1.

yeah normally with micropore also made the bass a bit bloated, I never heard P1 personally so yeah if you feel the quality didn't changed at all, enjoy mate! its much cheaper to buy micropore tape than power DAC too lol

Sorry, missed the IEM part. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the new DUNU DM-480 ($69) is really good for out and about stuff. Fun tuning with great sub-bass, comfortable, with good noise isolation. Good luck!
DUNU DM-480 is a little expensive. Would you recommend DUNU DM-380 or is it a big compromise? It is cheaper ($49) and I like the design better.

Also, how do these DUNU earphones fair against TRN V90/BA5, CCA C12, KZ ZSX etc?

Is there a reason why when you buy 2 products from a store and you want to buy faster shipping ( DHl, UPS and the like) why is it more expensive than paying for only one? Is the cost based on the weight on the package and not the size? For example if DHL costs 20 usd extra and you buy two products but they ship in the same package shouldnt the shipping fee be 20 usd? Generally it seems to be around 30 usd.
