Tip problem gone, just discovered the Snugs custom tips I bought for my Noble X's fit my CH9T's. Sound is just amazing now, clear and punchy. I knew these were fantastic iems but now they are even better

How much did it cost you?
I have the same observations going from silicone to foam tips. Definitely a marked transformation.

I noticed that my CH9Ts got a bit darker after about two months of few hours of daily use (I have extremely sensitive hearing).
Ended up removing protective nets (or whatever they are called?) and cleaning them up thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, reinstalled, did not try to glue them in though.
Highs are back to where they were, but I think I'll need to get replacements (nets, not IEMs!) at some stage.
Anyone found what size fits best, I remember them being mentioned here?

Also, as has been mentioned here tried switching to straight in ear placement (as opposed to over the ear).
Amazingly CH9Ts fit perfectly this way, and actually seem to have a bit more balanced midrange.
Stock cable mmcx male connectors could get loose after few disconnects, I used sharp needle to push out little section inside that acts as a spring, locking them firmly.

Exactly my observations. These filters easily get gummed up with moisture and dust on stock tips because of the wide nozzle and short tips. Difference is night and day. I now use higher tips which do not easily moist the overly fine filters.
To everyone, especially people who use it for gym, clean the filters, difference in clarity after cleaning is definitely notable.

Having said that, even having to service filters (nets?) regularly does not diminish CH9Ts value to me, just something to be aware of, not even an annoyance

I'm glad i'm not the only one. This is the my way to get headphones-like mids with a bit of tradeoff for soundstage. Also try out foam tips. They provide the similar midrange when worn normally/overear but without sacrifice in soundstage, possibly due to the perfect seal. Misodiko has 5.5mm foam tips for jaybird that fit mine perfectly.Also, as has been mentioned here tried switching to straight in ear placement (as opposed to over the ear).

I have yet to find a source for the nylon style screens. I have only been able to source stainless steel screens.
The good news is that in the numerous IEMs I have replaced or swapped the screens on, the stainless screens have no effect on the sound one way or the other. It's the nylon screens that color the sound in some way (usually for the worse ie veiled).
Bottom line is that I have zero reservations towards replacing ANY non-stainless screen with the stainless screens.

wouldn't it change the sound signature like take away a slight refinement in treble? Anyway, I will find out. I learned that SS coffee filters from French Press have same weave density of IEM filters. I have a few of those lying around for experiment

Got the Misodiko 5.5 in M bc they were offered with Prime Shipping. They are really good and a better price than Comply 600 though I wonder how the Comply Comfort compare
In aliexpress there are two different versions available of Misodiko M550 (v1 and V2)

Which is better option?

By all means get the v2. I got the v1 and it is easily damaged when using in the gym
