Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600
Feb 11, 2023 at 9:00 PM Post #1,366 of 2,252
I liked the IE Pro tips however I landed on the Azla Vivid Edition. I prefer the sound profile and they have so many sizes I was able to get a perfect fit plus they are somewhat sticky which really helps with the seal and thus bass. I had no problems with the IE Pro but they werent as sticky and my ears were in between sizes so it was never a perfect fit
Thanks for the reaction. I'm pretty stubborn about my eartips, inserting them deep makes most tips scratch and even cut my ear canals (looking at you spinfit) Definitively gonna check vivids 👍
For my ears endgame would be the generic tips provided on the hbb khan's since they are a bit longer and slope negatively (similar to radius deepmounts perhaps?)
Unfortunately stem diameter on those is too large to fit the 600's.
If anyone knows these but with a smaller diameter I would be gratefull

You might be able to wrap electrical tape around the nozzle to make them fit?

You won't go wrong with any of them but after using both for a while, I just ended up liking more the Advar due to slightly better mid-bass impact (good for metal) and a more transparent midrange with more emotional vocals.
IE600 has slightly more sub-bass impact and sounds great with some electronic music.
Initially, I didn't like the Advar because of the treble peaks in the 6-8 khz area and a grainy sound but I was using only the stock cable for audition, which is a mess.
Then I used a balanced cable (just copper, not silver plated) and also the EQ for lower the 6 kz frequency and they just sounded great, fuller sound and tamed treble, really enjoyable all rounder.
I use iPhone and apple music for music, so EQ is not possible :wink:

Back to gather some more tips for the ie600. Has the consensus been reached that the ie pro tips are best (finger is nearly hitting the buy button)?

Tip rolled a few and best I got are some generic gray ones. Upgraded the cable aswell since stock is finicky,didn't noticed any difference from stock cable.

Is this the $10 Pirole cable from Ali Express? How do you like it?

Don't remember the price but it was indeed very cheap.
I Love it!
Snug fit and great chinslider. Doesn't hold weird kinks, only thing I can complain about is that is not as soft to the touch as I would like.
All in all happy

Looks like these dropped $100 at most retailers over night. Finally pulled the trigger and nabbed a set. Excited to have a DD IEM, love the M9 and figured these will compliment nicely.

That's how I am feeling with my IE600 and Andromeda 2020. I feel like I have all the bases covered with an all BA set and a single DD set. I also have a set of etymotic ER4XR for the single BA!

I'm not convinced that planars offer anything different then BA's but I have not heard one so I'm probably talking rubbish.

If a truly bang for book world beater planar comes out, I might consider it.

exactly my current collection ie600+m9 they compliment each other nicely M9 for relaxed session with great imaging, ie600 for fun and dynamics, but these days i listen to ie600 the most
