I have the symbio orange tips and they almost completely take away any bass that the Be has to begin with. Notes become much more thin as well, but this might be because I'm not getting a good seal with them. They feel a bit stiff to me.

These are the exact tips I've been using after trying all the tips that came with the Be plus the symbio orange tips (spiral dots are on the way, and I could never get the spin-fit to fit).

These https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075RDCZ4X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

look similar to what we're using and are less than half the price
While I could never get a secure fit with the Symbio due to the hardness, I then removed the foam cores and now they are one of the best-sealing tips I own.

Dan mentioned back in July that Carbon specs would be published in late August, and product released prior to RMAF (October 5-7).. has anyone heard anything..?
Production is starting now, it's going to be after RMAF. However, we do have Nickel done, so that will be shown at RMAF!

What is the difference between be v1 and new?
3 things:

1. Splitter and 3.5mm jack reinforcement moved from a heavy metal shell to a high durometer molded rubber, and a thinner, limper cable
2. Grille to a plated, rather than painted, finish
3. Packaging made more attractive for shelf stocking

Personally, I prefer the tuning of the Be to that of the Carbon for everyday use, however it will certainly be a matter of personal preference. For some genres, the Carbon sounds great so it might be complementary to other phones in one's collection.

Perhaps it is best to direct that question to Dan.

I also bought the E-5K but personally I liked the Be a lot better so didn't keep them very long. They do take a lot of power to perform decently.
