Spinfits don't work on the Titan 6 according to Dunu. I asked them already. Titan 6 has it's own tips
From Dunu:
Hello, We confirm your problem with factory staff, they said CP100, CP145, T500 are not fit for TITAN6.
The nozzles of TITAN6 is short, if you really want use Spinfit with T6, you can try CP360 . DUNU put some ear tips in the retail box.
Suggest you use TITAN6 original ear tips for TITAN6 .
Thank you for input. I'm getting the Titan 6 by Monday. So I might even compare it to my other IEMs. Also, I'm a bit disappointed that it's not like the Titan 1. I loved that IEM quite a bit. It was blowing my mind a few years ago. The value was quite amazing.
I've been playing around with tips, and I find that, just like the Titan 3 and 5, ideal tip selection is crucial with the Titan 6.
Dunu's stock tips: they're okay, but not my favorite for comfort. The "balanced" blue tips sound pretty even across the board. Comfort is average. The sport-oriented sharkfin tips work great (and feel snug/great). They take away a tiny little bit of detailing (probably "false detail") but make the sound a little smoother to my ears. They're also compatible with the Titan 3/5, with a similar effect. The 5k peak gets tamed a bit as it's easier to achieve a deeper fit, which really helps manage that second harmonic peak of the driver/housing interface. I really like this tip combination with the Titan 3, which has long been my favorite Titan, even over the Titan 1. The vocal tips, well, I don't like using them for vocals, LOL. I can hear what they do --- cut some of the upper midrange and make the lower mids easier to hear. But to me, they sound a little disjointed and I don't like their comfort.
So far I'm also liking the presentation of the Titan 6 with SpinFit CP100 tips (they fit fine with the Titan 6, don't know why they replied that the CP100 don't work), super rare acoustic red tips from now-defunct RedGiant, and Comply style foam tips. The wide flange SpinFit CP350 works as well, in addition to the AZLA SednaEarfit Light, but I don't really like the way the SpinFit CP360 sound (they also fit kind of funky). The SpinFit CP145 are a little too wide bore for the Titan 6, so they won't work.
I'll be comparing them to the Periodic Be, Flares Pro 2HD and/or IMR R1 Zenith for my review (which are all pure beryllium or Beryllium coated), but might be a little while to post as I have a few things in the queue first.
Lyra II wouldn't be a million miles away from the T6 from memory - the T6 has a little more substantial bass and is less shy in the treble, but shares a similarly warm and musical non-bright sort of tuning.
Comfortable to say as an the IEMs I'm thinking of comparing it to are a fair bit more expensive, it's definely a good IEM for its price bracket.
These comparisons would be helpful as I haven't heard a lot of the more bassy types of Beryllium driver earphones. I've heard the original Lyra, but it was eons ago, so I really don't remember it at all.
Thank you so much for your comments, they give me a better perspective From the T6, I like warmer sound, so that is a good thing to me, one thing that worried me a little, is the bass, the T5 are a little bassy, but I got used to its sound, if you said the T6 are even more bass focused, I hope not so much or it will be too much. On the other side, if the bass is better layered, and the timbre is more realistic, I think I'll go finally for the T6 thanks to your input, it helped a lot
You're welcome. I think it's possible you'll like them. They're not much bassier than the T5, but because it does well in time domain, you can hear more of the layers of bass in the music. Overall, I think the T6 is probably a good direct upgrade for fans of the T5 but not necessarily for people who liked the T1 and T3 (which is me --- I did not like the T5 at all; sounded to me like a bastardized version of the T3, sorry, I know there are a lot of people who think the opposite, that the T3 is a wimpy, bright version of the T5).
Anyhoo, I think there are a few suggestions I would make:
- Get the fit as deep as possible --- it'll tame that lower treble peak (even though it's gentler than before)
- The isolation feels naturally better than the T1/3/5, but it's still not a great isolator, so if you need isolation, use the sharkfin sport tips or go with foams
- Use a smooth source if at all possible. Let the natural time domain resolution of the T6 do its thing, and you can still hear deeply into your music tracks.
