For my ears, Divinus Velvet & Eletech Baroque provides the best comfortable, deep & isolating fit.
Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions
This Divinus Velvet i have on the way to me. With Spinfit CP360. But I'm most curious about Pentaconn COREIR. I see some reviews and they look very promising. 
Actually they are selling on their website a new atom XS modules with anodized paint so it doesn't come off. I don't know though about the new batch of frontier series. Did they give the anodized version or not. Here's the link to the post : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fir-audio-thread-discussion-and-impressions.910581/post-17618598Have you tried switching the modules yet? Any luck with doing so without the paint peeling off the module?
Judging from the picture at my first attempt, I don't think mine were anodized. A man was trying to switch modules before leaving the house this morning but failed at his first attempt. Thanks for the link though!
Be careful before purchasing coreir. The brass ring make the nozzle longer so less contact with the kinetic bass vent.This Divinus Velvet i have on the way to me. With Spinfit CP360. But I'm most curious about Pentaconn COREIR. I see some reviews and they look very promising.

You need special tools to remove the module from the tray and the shell. They provide it in the IEM case IIRC. This is the video :A man has just received his XE6.
A man can't be sure if the pair of modules on the right hand side are gold or silver.
A man couldn't unscrew the module to take a closer look.
OK. Thank you for info. I would find this out later when arrive. I like to ask here about comparison XE6 with Fatfreq Meastro SE. I not searching yet, but this is my next looked out IEM. Grand maestro design for me not acceptable. Thanks for any info.

My favorite are Spiral Dots. It did take some experimentation to nail down my fit. I don’t think they sell a sampler pack, so they are a pain in the ass to size, but they have been a revelation in terms of how good a silicone tip can seal.
Even with a perfect seal, the Dots don’t isolate as well as foam. I don’t think any silicone tip does. But the Dots are the second-most isolating silicone tip I’ve tried next to Xelastic, which (best-in-class isolation aside) I didn’t like much.
If you do end up going with foam, I highly recommend the new Comply 500 Ovals. Superior sound compared to the originals; isolation remains the same… which is to say, the very best available. They are my new go-to for very noisy environments.

AZLA SednaEarfit classic/short here - works best for me, actually everywhere. I suggest you to take a look…Good morning everybody.
3 days a go i recive XE6. And last 2 days i searching some tips for this IEM. I must finally say, that Sajid in his video has right. Symbio W with XA6 is best combination. Maybe is too early for morning rock, but AC/DC playing on these IEM with this eartips absolutely amazing. I testing Dunu S&S, Final Audio Type E, SpinFit W1 and Symbio are top for me.

COREIR doesn't fit every ears, but if they do they are the best with i.e. Xe6.This Divinus Velvet i have on the way to me. With Spinfit CP360. But I'm most curious about Pentaconn COREIR. I see some reviews and they look very promising.

Depends what sound signature you like, they are very different.OK. Thank you for info. I would find this out later when arrive. I like to ask here about comparison XE6 with Fatfreq Meastro SE.

FF have more bass/subs and recessed mids. Xe6 are much more class with their fuller range and elevated midbass - more mature and bolder with guitars.
FFSE - metal/rock guitars are recessed like listening to a hifi with "loudness" turned On, Xe6 - more forward and punchier.
For my listening tastes - metal, rock, alternative, guitar and drums oriented music Xe6 are much better choice.
Did you tried Symphonium Meteor or CA Dorado2020? They are also in that direction and great bang for the buck.
Thank you for info. I will try found more info FF maestro.
No exp with Symphonium or Campfire audio yet.

Meteor is something between FFSE and Xe6, Dorado is like "more aggressive Xe6".
Not the same class as Xe6 but both are really great for what they cost ($500 SM and $900 CA).
FFSE and Meteor - I loaned demo units from Elise Audio UK some time ago,
so if they sent to Poland, they will probably do the same with Czech, great customer service.
The great thing is that if you do reach out, you'll find that 99% are stoked to find another person willing to discuss this stuff!!
