Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
May 14, 2013 at 3:14 AM Post #407 of 1,656
I actually have a pair of the white dampers and Etymotic tool that came with a trade I made recently, but I've never tried doing this before...
I didn't wanna take a chance and -f- anything up.

I just saw a pic and it looks like the stock damper can be easily removed and replaced. The best thing to do will be send it to Rin if you're really interested as he can indentify the acoustics of the stock damper and be able to swap back to stock sound when desired. Not only that, specifics of what may be a better damper can be shown

The damper is at the tip of the nozzle. It used to be in the bottom. It should indeed be very easy to change. Would be great to have someone measure different ones :)
 
PS: to all EarSonics owners out there, buy the Westone Star/True Fit kit. The new Star tips are by far the best tips I´ve used with the SM64 so far. Compared to Shure silicon that I was using previously, there´s more treble without sacrificing the bass at all. Highly recommended. They are made for the 2mm Westone/Shure style nozzles, which the SM64 also uses.

They seem to be favored by many, and not just in use with the SM64. Mine should arrive within the next few days.

I agree. I use Westone Star tips on all of my Earsonics (SM1, SM2, SM3 & SM64) IEMs as well as Shure and Westone IEMs.

I would've love to contribute to this, but unfortunately I will be unable to do this since my wallet just took a huge blow, and I'm selling my Sm64's.

Btw, if any U.S. headfiers that missed out on the Soundearphones Sm64 $300 deal are still looking for a pair, I'm your guy...(shameless plug)
 
And yes, I use the Westone tips on my sm3 and sm64.

After trying numerous tips, including the Star tips, the Phonak tips are definitely my favorite (see post 383). 10 for $15 at earphonesolutions.com including free shipping.

I own the new westone tips but also the Sensorcom double flanges tips that work very well with my SM 64. Isolation is great and comfort is also very good...Highly recommanded....

The Phonak tips are among the best I've also experienced, except I regretfully no longer own them. Their bore size is perfect, as is their first and seal. Thanks for the link. I might place an order, but only after giving the star tips a go.

I've placed an order for the star tips myself. Fingers crossed they Pam out.

Well let us know how they "Pam " out.

Everyone has a slightly different earshape, but I felt the silicones were about the same as the stock dual flange. I don't have issues with the stock tips other than a wish for slightly more isolation.
 
I really dig these headphones

Don't worry I'll check back, hopefully soon. Until then, I'm going to throw my SM64's aside for awhile until the new tips come. I like the sig, especially with electronica, but I don't think the sig I'm getting is the one Earsonics intended.
 
P.S.
Pam says hi
