Does someone know if there's an alternative version of this adapter? http://rinchoi.blogspot.com.br/2012/06/effect-of-ear-sleeves-monster-ear-tip.html

I can't find this monster ear tip accesory available anymore.

How correct is it to make a pair of inline high pass filters, one for each channel, derived from these designs http://www.instructables.com/id/Passive-Filter-Circuits/
All the resistors and capacitors would be adjustable to control frequency cutoff and attenuation amount
This way I can push the bass back to the perceptible middle using electronic means (no physical changes to the driver) and in analogue (no ADC loss of resolution etc) ...

It could be a way to compensate for the lack of low frequency matching or maybe even physiological differences between the ears of a person, but I have no idea if it would negatively affect the sound quality overall

I was playing with ER4-XR and I think it is a lovely IEM. I still add a bit of treble and a bit of bass to be closer to my ideal, but really well detailed and nice sound overall. Absolutely detailed!

If the goal is just to use larger bored eartips, there are easier way to do it. Just get some heatshrink and put 2~3 layer over the nozzle should give you enough thickness. You can also get some Shure olive or Comply foam tip, rip out the foam and use the core as spacer. Actually, the stock foam tip that comes with ER4 will probably get the job done as well.

Thank you, @ClieOS! I've managed to find a pair and it worked really well. Most of my tips can fit now without problems.

My major problem was after some weeks using the grey tips the tip's material expands losing the tightness, but not it seems solved for now!

it usually takes a year or two for silicone eartips to degrede to a point of being too loose to use. If your eartips are still fairly new, another probable cause might be some skin oil getting in between the nozzle and eartip. Just roll some tissue into small diameter to clean up the bore (and the nozzle surface of course) and they will be fine to use again. The cleaning should be part of your regular IEM maintenance.

Perfect. I've never had similar problems with other IEMs and I keep the cleaning sessions rather often but never thought about the trick inside the bore and maybe this is indeed the cause of this repetitive problem. However, in the end, I really liked this mod and the possibilities!

Went through around 20 different types of tips found spinfits were ok , but invested in some snugs you cannot beat them.

Freebie give away time !!!
I've been making various cables for my XR'S to test out on various aspects and at the moment are using pure silver on the 3rd party mmcx connectors with the locking nub for my WM1A and so far it's looking like a keeper. So I've got this cable to start with and maybe a few later on, but for now this one has the right angled mmcx connectors with a oyaide cable and a 4.4mm balanced jack, the cables free just PayPal gift me the postage or I'll change the termination to whatever you want but obviously you'll have to supply or pay for the plug. First come first served and post here so everyone knows it's gone.

Hi Dave,
Haven't checked this thread in a while and am glad to see you're still engaged.
Just curious; how have sales percentages been running between SR and XR?
Thanks

Mmcx to mmcx ?

 

[ledzep]

The locking ones of mine showed up and are a more solid connection with the lock feature especially with the solid silver and Teflon wires

 

[ClieOS]

Mmcx to mmcx ?

Yes, mainly as a way to use MMCX cable that has bend MMCX connector and memory wire (= for over-the-ear wearing style) yet will not fit the recessed ER4SR/XR MMCX socket. For example, AAW Capri.

Hello. Are the er4 sealed? I mean is the any vent? If you try to blow into the sound tube, does the air pass? In Shure se 535 it does. So you can easily put the triple flanges deep into your ears. I've made diy er4-b sealed and can not insert them deep enough because of air pressure on the eardrum.
