So pretty much same fitment as the 500. Medium were too small so the sound was thin. Medium Plus is perfect.

Well I just pulled the trigger on the Puro's...if they're as good as I've read I'm gonna have a draw full of iem's gathering dust.
Looking forward to your impressions. I've been holding off on these, the A2, and some of the other heavy hitters being hyped atm.
Yeah I jumped on the Puros when they went down to $59.99 on Amazon. I'd go with Divvy even if you have to wait longer to receive them (if you have Amazon Prime).
I let my coworker try out the DIY IE800, which are pretty good IMO for $12. He still preferred his Apple Earpods (for some odd reason lol). I then let him hear the Puros with my iPod and E07K (L9 cable for Line Out) and a smile overtook his face and he was like "wow you can hear everything". Going to let him hear the Bettes tomorrow bc if he likes them too he can at least drive those and sound great straight from his iPod
thanks, so it sounds like you're a bigger fan of the Bettes over Puros from what I've read? Finding the right set of IEMs feels like a rollercoaster haha
Been listening to Puros again the past couple days and I'm remembering why I love them. Such a spacious engaging sound. I honestly like them equally. They each have different Pros. Only fault with the Puro is the cable likes to twist itself together, I think it's a memory cable?
That's good to hear, any chance you'd remember the page number that recounts your thoughts on the pros and cons? (unless you don't mind bullet pointing a couple now)
Also, I don't plan on driving the Puros with my ipod classic (don't really like the extra accessory on the go). Is that going to be an issue?
Honestly no cons about either. Both have great clarity from end to end. Puros more spacious. Bettes more focused but with awesome micro details.
I guess you could actually call it a con that the Puros are harder to drive. They do really benefit from amping.

I'll second that, the Puro's are the real dealNo hype on the IEM500, simply truth.
My LG V10 has a great DAC (ESS1908) but has a not so powerful amp, so everything sounds great but only pushes the Puros to a medium loud volume to my ears.
On a side note, got the D14 on time from OnTrac, such a shocker, and plugging it into my laptop with Windows 10. No drivers were installed or for download so I had to go to iBasso's website and download the Windows drivers. Worked like a charm once I set it to the default device. Great sound. I can hear the difference easily between it and the E07k. Preferring this sound much more.
