Wonder if it could fit the Xduoo X2

 
BTW, anyone with the KZ LP3 yet?


Too bad i ordered the case from KZ store with my ATE last week but it was the round case and weird thing is my purchase of round case is in the feedback of the link you provided.

  ATE. Sealing is also good without hole-mod.


Hi, do you have any comments about the small hole at the bottom of the earphones of ed9 right beside where the cable went into the housing? 

Mine seems blocked. :p

As much as I have experimented - with ED9 that small hole doesn`t matter at all. Like I said before already, ED9 is like "full-open" design... taking off back grill or closing those holes didn`t affect sound imo. At least not in clearly noticeable way. 
 
Btw, has anyone tried those KZ silicones?: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/KZ-HIFI-earphone-headphone-ED9-ED3-S6-ATE-ED2-Medical-silicone-earbuds-pads-Small-Medium-Big/32357942858.html
Are they good?

R.I.P. my sweet mod victim ATE!

Do not try to remove Your ATE drivers! Even if You get somehow clear from the glue, it is very easy to damage membrane connection wires. I tried second driver more carefully but still killed it.
 
Will order new ATE`s for modding

Wow that's a heck of an autopsy. About those eartips, i wonder what effect those 'turbine blade' bits will have on the sealing and sound.

I have those whirlwind tips and I find that the fins just make the tips stiffer compared to stock/hybrid tips. Personally that leads to slight discomfort for me.

You almost ate it... :wink:
 
Those silicon tips are "whirlwind" by name and I had them as stock-3 pairs/same blue from one of my unknown chinese IEMs that I had to include when I gave away due to the spiral lines which were uncomfortable/didn't fit well (any size) to me, reason being they are bit strong not flexible as regular silicon tips.....

Thanks for all the info about whirlwind silicones :wink: Won`t order them. I need smallest and softest silicone tips. Hopefully will get my Sony Hybrids soon.
Any other recommendations about very soft small silicones? Atm the best I have are Piston 2, some white ones that I got from ebay (using with ED9) and some red/yellow ones also from ebay which are pretty good.

JVC Spiral Dots are pretty good and among the best tips available.

Any experience here with Spinfit tips?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spinfit-Tips-Authentic-Spinfits-brand-new-from-Japan-/171774365083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27fe8ccd9b
They should be really soft and make good fit for ED9 ...seems so.
 
JVC Spiral Dots are very hard to get in S size. The same seller also provides them but thinking about getting Spinfit...
 
Atm I`m using these (white/small) with my ED9: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compatible-With-MDR-EX-Series-Ear-Bud-Gel-Tips-Various-Colours-x-6-Pieces-/271878780728?
They are made from very soft silicone but they are littlebit "short", though they seal very well. Note - red/yellow from same listing is not from so soft silicone and not so thin but also pretty good.
