Just received my triple flange tips today. I used the smallest pair and inserted them as deep as they could go into my ear (super deep insertion, my ears kind of feel violated now). These provided the absolute best isolation like i've never had and are still quite comfortable.
Now i understand why @Virtu Fortuna ranked the mk2's bass as 9.5 on his iem scoring chart. Holy f*kn crapty crap, these are BASS CANNONS! The bass now hits hard, has more body and texture, extends really low and has this delicious decay to it. The mids remain unaffected and i still don't hear the 'lushness' or 'thickness' of the mids as others describe it but the treble is almost unbearable now. It's become even more harsh and grainy sounding, which causes it to lose out on a lot of resolution and overall clarity. So far the spiral dot tips seem to provide the tonality that i'm looking for; forward and lush mids, smooth and detailed treble and excellent clarity, but due to the nature of the short nozzles, spiral dots don't insert deep enough for me to enjoy that delicious bass decay.
If i were a bass junkie, then this would be it for me. I've never heard bass like this. Unfortunately, i'm not, so the mk2 still sounds unimpressive to me because it just lacks that bit of mid and treble smoothness/refinement that i had with se535,
I'll be trying the spinfit cp240 double flange soon in the hopes of getting a deeper insertion for the bass whilst maintaining the tonal qualities of the spiral dot tips. I just thought that i'd let bass junkies know that this is what they've been searching for all along.
