Well for fun I made a 22 driver universal IEM outta cheap secondhand drivers and an XL universal shell from Taobao. Though the frequency response curve turned out to be horrid (man it was hard to tune it), it actually sounded really really good...odd.

Unfortunately one of the bass tubes in the right driver was pressured a little causing a minor imbalance in the bass, but luckily this wasn't too noticeable.


Do you mind share link for the shells?

Unfortunately the guy who sold me these stopped producing them. I wasn't able to find shells of this size afterwards...Also, regular sized ears won't be able to wear them. My girlfriend can't actually fit these into her ears since they're way too big and stick out too much.

I have custom earplugs (silicone)

I'd like to ruin them and make custom tips for a universal iem, I've never done anything like this before

Will the *hole*/bore of the cut out ear plug change the sound of my iem?

No iem company makes custom tips for these iems.

I just want a canal tip to fit sturdy around this iem.

Please help, guidence is most appreciated

I sure wish someone could just make it for me for $

yes the width and length of the bores will probably change the sound slightly. you could do it yourself if you don't fear of "ruining" the silicone impressions in case it doesn't work out. you just need to cut the impressions about here

do the cut in steps so you can check the length you want. then use a small bit to create a bore and use wider bits slowly until you get at least a 3/4mm diameter bore. on the back side enlarge the hole slightly so it accommodate the nozzle of your iem. you could always make it wider and use a shrink tube so it fits the diameter of your iem's nozzle and glue the shrink tube in your custom tip
