Hi all, I need some advice on eartips for the K10U. My ear canals are very thin, and none of the stock tips stay in. I've been using comply, but while those kind of stay in the seal gets worse a after a few songs and the bass disappears. Does anyone know a good soft triple flange I could try? Or have another suggestion?
I've had really good success with the Tennmak Whirlwinds. They came with the Cupids and while I typically prefer foam pushed all the way down the nozzle, in.some.cases.ive actually preferred the whirlwinds. They're a wide bore tip that seal well and sound great. If you buy them from the Ali Tennmak store they're $10 for 6 pair and you can take a multi size pack or specify what you want. Ask for three pair of the size you think you need and three pair of one size larger. That will be a good and inexpensive way to determine if they work for you and the size you need. I normally use an M tip but with these I use L. I got them delivered from China to Canada in under 7 days. It's worth a try, I auditioned the M3s with them and was pretty impressed. I also use them with my ie800s in the gym and for me, they never need readjustment. They just stick. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32808506339.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.35274c4dHCDBEH

Thanks for the suggestions! For reference the only single flange tips that have ever even come close to working for me are the spinfit ss and s sizes. The ss falls out because it can't get grip because it's too short, and the regular s is a bit too big and falls out for the same reason. So I really am specifically looking for triple flange.

I'll probably do a look over all of ety's offering s and try a couple.

I just got a pair of K10U, and am having a similar experience. I have had decent success with Final Audio type e tips, so far.

@acvjim @FullCircle well I have been dithering for 24 hours but as soon as I saw the balanced option on the Tux5 the credit card beckoned shyly from the drawer. Had a read of the headfonics first impression and majorhifi quick review and liked what I read.

Will post a review when it arrives!

Alternatively, if you have been on the fence about picking up our M3, you can check out a full review by the same folks here:

https://majorhifi.com/noble-audio-m3-review/
I'm really surprised by the lack of reviews and seeming lack of interest in the M3's.

To me they are an excellent detailed but still fun sounding iem that compare very favorably with the new flavour of the month Electrostatic (electret) iem's.

Oh

I wouldnt say lack of interest etc.

The M3 cant be built fast enough to keep up with the pace of demand by our non English speaking territories. That market generally does not post on head fi. We are finally able to get some M3 inventory at HQ

Due to this, we may be able to fill review requests and get more information about the M3 out and about.

I love my Noble Falcon, truly a soundsignature like my 1st Gen resin K10u. Lovely sound signature that does not need any eq. Good laid back sound that does not fatigue.

Device can hiccup with some kind static noise occuring as it corrects itself.

Fit is perfect with the smallest tips. While they have an amazing fit that won't fall out even if I effortly try, if they shift there is a chance it will pinch itself closed somehow within my ear canal.
