Just be aware that for swipping, you need to make sure that AKG label is horizontal. I noticed that you have errors when your IEM moves position, I corrected after using the right combination of tips and wings

Oh, I know. I tried extensively. Drove me nuts. I have so many buds with swipe features, but these didn’t work well for me. I may buy and try another pair. Sounds like an isolated event.

Sorry to hear about this. One thing I did was to try them while still in the case open and checked swipe and pressure of tap just to get a feeling for it and then I placed them in ear. My Galaxy Buds + are too sensitive and when I moved in my ear for position it always triggers a functions which is annoying trying to go back

After a few back and forth emails asking where to buy them, then what the eartips make / model are and who makes them, they sent me a screen shot of an Indiegogo page:

And, this was their last email:

"Dear Scott
Thanks for your great support!
Please kindly note that these foam ear-tips cannot be sold separately and we can only provide you the size of them so that you could buy other kinds of ear-tips with the same size.
Sorry for any inconvenience!"

I've found these foam tips - a foam ring around a solid connecting core - fit my ear well and hold in the KZ S2 solidly, and are low profile enough to fit in the charging case.

Does anyone have any idea where to get them? :)

I brought my here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000482792147.html.
Quality is the same like "original" Misodiko https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33013179005.html

There are two versions if those short TWS foams that I know of: ikko i-planet and misodiko tws-pro. Both can be found on amazon.com, about $10 for 2 pairs of ikko and $15 for 3 pairs of TWS-Pro.

Misodiko is a 'brand name', they are also sold generically.

If you search for Jabra foam tips on AliExpress they will show up.

The ikko tips were true to their size dimensions. My small sized generic misodiko tips were 1mm larger at 12mm, instead of 11mm.

So the small Ikko tips ended up being uncomfortable for my smaller ears canals. When I ordered them I thought they were 11.2mm which would have been closer to my ideal size.

A couple days ago I came across the Misodiko tips which are a similar design but their small and large size tips are just a bit smaller. They're also available on Amazon US or AliExpress. I've ordered them in small to try.

Ikko tips: S 11.5 | M 12.5 | L 13.5
Misodiko: S 10.9 | M 12.4 | L 13.0

While these may be originally designed for TWS use, for those of us that have shallower ear canals it may work for a more stable fit. The design also means the foam doesn't affect the highs as much as say a Comply or Txxx foam tip would, as there is little to no foam sound would travel through. Ymmv.

Well, these Misodiko type tips finally showed up from AE. Unfortunately sizing isn't 11mm but 12mm O.D., which means just like the Ikko tips they're uncomfortable for me.



Nice tips, just wish they were smaller.

my box incorporates a California p65 warning. Assuming this would mean it is a US product?

As far as I understand, a California P65 warning must be used when the criteria are met for the warning, and if the product is also intended to be sold to consumers in California. So it's not a guarantee, but it increases the chances.

If they could do one like the FIIO that go over the ears, we could use that instead of ear hooks to keep our iSine 10/20 etc in place!

Finally got the n400s in. Really nice build quality, with a case that has deep earwells to allow for tip rolling. Wish it had a spring-loaded hinge but that's a minor nitpick.

Stock tips sounded almost too thin and there was an immediate improvement in bass once I swapped some Spinfit CP360s in. Mellow sound signature, these are definite MTW2 contenders, and at less than half price!

Anyone here who recently ordered directly from M&D got it shipped from the US to EU?
I was a bit stumped when I saw it was shipped from California, somehow I thought by buying from their .eu website (and being charged 99.50€, not 99.50$) I would get it shipped from somewhere EU.
Now I see that while it has already arrived in GER, it's seems to be stuck at customs, despite M&D website saying:

Semi random side note, since it fits the topic of int'l shipping: Isn't it amazing how much we learn about our planet / geography / mail systems ... i.e. that Tobol & Moyynty are apparently cities in Kazakhstan (well, judging my sat images, Moyynty is rather small) and why the heck is some of my AliExpress stuff traveling the 20h between those 2 spots before come from China to me to Germany???

Now you know where Moyynty is :D
(ooooh ... railway all the way from China ... learning never ceases! always thought AliEx stuff is either ship or plane, never considered rail! from Wiki: " After connection with China at the Alataw Pass in 1990, a railway bridge Ürümqi—Dostyk—Aktogay—Sayak—Balqash—Moyynty was created.")

Sorry for the total diversion :D

Hi

I am looking for a tws with small snug fit that won t stick out of my concha. With natural and smooth sound and good battery life.

The ability to lay on my ears on my pillow with out any discomfort is very important for me

Use case only for lying in my bed and watch youtube videos or listen to podcasts.

thanks in advance
