Ok so someone with both who can experiment would be great!! Actually i might buy some spinfits and let you all know. Any size issues like overly small or large for respective sizes? X

SpinFit medium was identical diameter to medium stock silicone.

Since 4 people have asked me about my custom tips, I will post it here for all to see :

First you will have to go see a local audioologist. They will take your impressions which will cost around 50€.

Then you send them to Custom Art in Poland. And then you order on their site https://thecustomart.com/shop/silicone-products/custom-iem-tips/

When they ask for which iem you can say for the CA Vega and they will know the right size. I chose two different colours so it is easier to tell left from right , but that is up to you of course. I think they could also work on the 2.5.

You can easily take them off and put them on other items but of course nozzle size is a factor so they wouldn't fit anything too big or too small. Custom Art keep your impressions (unless you tell themotherwise) and if you need some other size later they will make it.

I love mine, they make iems so much more comfortable and I can skip the tip rolling!

If you have anymore questions, just ask

Cheers Jamie

Sorry sent a message to my girlfriend prior and extened the 'x" but this is a love site right?

Yup, we all love our head gear. To pieces.

I put in the R1 yesterday evening. First time in about a week, as I have a number of new pieces to explore right now.

I was wowed yet again. The R1 is simply one of the nicest sounding things I've ever heard.

The SpinFits are better than I first reported. I was listening to Hobo by Sara K., which has a good amount of sub-bass. I heard thumping sounds that I thought were the neighbors running up the stairs (I live in an old house and the floors shake). Pulled out the R1s... nope, it was the RECORDING. So, I turned on the handy internet signal generator and swept down in frequency. I could easily hear down to 13Hz!!! This is 4Hz lower than I measured with the standard silicone tips.

I have never had a good seal with Spinfits or achieved the best sound quality with them either. If I have an IEM that sounds best with a wide bore tip it is JVC Spiral Dots if a signature sounds best with a more narrow tip, it is the Final Audio tips. I have found the JVC give me the best quality seal and sound with the R1.

Sooo I've figured out that by loosening the filters just the tiniest bit (I always screwed them on "tight"), there's no more driver flex. Beforehand, I was experiencing crinkling all the time whenever I was moving.

Ordered B stock unit this morning, looking forward to trying these.

For those looking for custom tips in the UK I can't recommend Puretone enough. They'll mould your IEM into the tip, so unlike Snugs (who actually use PC Werth I believe) who only mould to certain IEM's you can use them for the R1's. I have a set of Puretone moulds from my IE80's that I have modified to accommodate the R1's as they're fairly similar in size and shape. They took a little bit of Dremeling and some black Sugru to keep them in, but they're absolutely fine. They're £95 including moulding from an associated audiologist and took a couple of weeks to be made.

Let it burn in a couple of days, though you'll notice the potential right out of the box!

I use the copper filter, as it gives me the most of what I like! Hard hitting bass, great vocals, nice open soundstage, and deliciously crispy highs!

You're gonna love it!

I sat down and spent a little time with what I think are copper filters and what a wonderful sound. Solid, deep bass but plenty of treble for me.

The dark ones are the copper filter. To me also, that sound is just right! When I really push these iems, they sound like a big car stereo with all competition speakers (highs and lows)! These are quite exceptional!

No, the light ones are copper - confirmed with Bob They have max bass and that's what I'm hearing.

 

[subguy812]

Maybe copper should have been named gold. Anyway, these things are pretty fantastic I've listened to a lot of dynamic drivers and I feel Bob is certainly on to something.

Thank you for the correction! Those are indeed the ones I'm using and they are beautifully fulfilling! My bass craves are a thing of the past as I'm being fed loads of it through these filters! Along with very nice mids and treble, these are certainly an awesome set of phones!

They're the best I have in my collection!
