Can anybody recommend a mic/remote cable for these please? Not looking to pay a fortune, just something basic from AliEx... for example.
Thanks

I got a OKCSC cable and I am happy with it.

Got a link please? I can see plenty of mmcx and a 2 pin with no mic

Great stuff! However, not to sound ungrateful, IMHO two of the most important configurations are missing: blue and pink filters with vent open.

 

[HungryPanda]

I was happy with just the black

I agree. Blue open is the 'most balanced' with 'widest soundstage' so will be popular with a lot of users. However, they all sound obvious. I'm now playing with the blue ones again as they've definitely calmed down after burning in.

Got a little package today, and inside JVC spiral dots. And all my problems with fitment disappeared. Even the indestructible, but springy cable is a no issue now. Something so small and inexpensive, as a silicon tip, changed everything. R1s shape was never an issue.
My take on IEM tips is this:
- practically any stock silicon iem tips: while they may work for majority of people, they are usually made of rather stiff silicon, may be uncomfortable and even painful after some time
- foam: good fit and comfort but i just cant get used to using them, deteriorate with use
- SpinFit: nice soft silicon material, can rotate to provide better fit and isolation, minus is that they are taller because of their design, narrow opening may get obstructed which leads to audio loss
- Spiral Dot: very soft and comfortable silicon, big opening to let all air and sound, tiny dots pattern may/may not provide anything sonic wise, biggest advantage for me is that they are SHORT, excellent fit

But Spiral dots .. omg, so comfy and no issues. Im going to quote Pinky Powers regarding IMR R1 here: " It’s so good you may quit the hobby forever and call it a day."

I am still waiting on a nice and thin copper cable, with metal wire near the ear part to hold form.

I hope this helps others struggling with fitment. Because prior to Spiraldots, i was considering selling them ( R1s ) off. Looking and searching for that ideal IEM can be daunting and exhausting. Can relax and enjoy them now. Black filter open port.

Great R&D! One other point I would add about foam tips is that they mangle both the highs and the lows.

My reticence about going after Spiral Dots has been sizing. Can you share your insights about the mapping of SpinFit sizes to Spiral Dot sizes? I am using a Large SpinFit in my left ear and a Medium in the right. What size Spiral Dots should I be trying?

 

[bassct]

Here. And while specs tell us different story, you can visually see the difference. Made a big change in comfort for me. 16$ for 3 pairs of SpDots. Worth it.

 

[bassct]

Theres no way SpiralDots are 8mm, and man am i glad they arent!
Pictured: SpiralDots M, SpinFit cp100 M, stock R1 tip ( M i think ).

 

[bassct]

I own Spinfits in M and L. Different IEMs require different sizes. I try to keep it symmetrical ( same size tip each side ), although my ear canal shape differ L from R ( tiny bit bigger ). SpiralDots i got in M size.

I bough Spiraldots here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JSLXNOC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Spiral dot size chart i found says:
L (about 14 mm) ML (about 13 mm) M (about 12 mm) MS (about 11 mm) S (about 10 mm)

Spinfit sizes are in the image.

 

[Venture Guy]

I found this chart... while we are on the topic of tips

 

[bassct]

Seen that one. Good chart. Those 1More foams might be good. While they all might have separate sound signatures, you can always correct it with a tad of EQ.

Vent affects noise Isolation, but does not change the frequency response. Blue and pink filters with vent open the same as with vent closed.
