anyone know what the default eartips are? I seem to have lost mine.

Grey Foams. I'd recommend the 1$ ones from Penon Audio. There's also the complys

Mine came with no brand type (a few of their own black silicon types and grey foam types) and a few Spiral Dots.

If you like their foam tips, you will like Comply tips. If you like their silicon tips, you have more choices then which are much better: Symbio, Spiraldots, Acoustune, Spinfits, etc.

Thus, if you lost your standard tips, you will be fine.

...andromeda is pretty close to flc8s on gold grey red, with slightly more bass (especially subbass) and better technicalities. didnt have long time to audition both though, so cant give a better comparison

That was my favorite combination on the FLC8S. If they are a better version of that, I may just go with those.

I tried some silicon ones such as the spinfit.

The seal was so good that there was so much driver flex that I could not stand it. Even chewing my food with my Oriolus on gave driver flex noises. Drove me nuts.

Small things like moving my head/jaw results in popping noises.

Look it up. It's a well respected audiophile store. The foams i speak of are of no brand in particular. Dirt cheap too.

Can someone post a picture of their bass port?

I was cleaning the Oriolus nozzle and port of dust, and noticed there was some cloth/filter inside. I think I pushed it out of place. I think it sounds different now, but I can't tell if that's just me being paranoid... I may need tweezers to pull it out and place it back in correctly...




Edit: Nevermind... I managed to take the filter out on the left side and place it back in (was a huge pain), but I completely lost the right filter inside the IEM...

Surprisingly, it sounds the exact same (I was being paranoid before), so I don't think it affected the sound quality at all. I still regret cleaning the ports though...

 

[Marvellous_DAP]

Maybe could bring back to your local distributor to check if they could help to remove the right filter?

Guess it is just meant to block dirt or water from entering yet allowing air to pass for the bass to work, so should not have any impact on sound.

Bought these used unfortunately. I emailed the Oriolus team, and they told me not to worry about it.

I'm thinking about buying some thin wire, to see if I can fish it out, but I'd rather not damage the inside... If only you can take this thing apart.

Not really. You can't see much deeper in the hole. And it's a really small hole...

Man. There's something really special with the v2: regardless whatever dap I'm using, these really play well with many daps in collection.

Opus#1 brings out the soundstage.
Oriolus Dp100 dap seduces you with its mids.
Shanling M3 being more analytic brings out better timbre, combining with the smooth sound of the V2.

Anyone else use any "analytical" daps with these?

Using X7II and Calyx M.

Prefers the match with Calyx M, though it matches even better with Hyla.

Opus #2 here.. the pairing is mind blowing due to analytical and musical at the same time...

 

[esn89]

I'm looking to get an Opus#1s, anyone had experience with that particular pairing?

 

[JohannLiebert]

The midrange is of the Oriolus is simply impressive. Probably best I've heard in any iem / headphone.
