...give the Hybrids a shot though if you haven't, as it may have a similar result, though with the shorter lenght, perhaps not. 

Tried, the nozzle of DN-1000 and DN-2000 are too large for it, so doesn't fit.

I enjoyed the review. The tip experiment is interesting as well but unfortunately it cannot account for numerous variables. Lab results are great, but many times fail to represent an individual's specific results. The auditory canal for each individual will be significantly different than a test model head. Individual biology can drastically alter the final result. The point being that those results aren't fact. They are simply the results of one lab setup and cannot hope to accurately reflect individual results.
Still, it's all we can do currently to give us a general idea.

 

Very true indeed!
We reviewers, and those who do measurement, can only do so much.
You're right, there numerous variables that are impossible to be measured at this time, and almost impossible to be communicated in review.
I hope my review would give the readers a good general idea of the reviewed items. That's my objective.

Very nice and detailed review!
Have you tried the stock JVC spiral dot tips with the DN-1000? I really like them without rings on the DN-1000, haven't tried the EP-FX8M-B tho. I am considering to buy either one of them for my DN-1000.

Thanks!
 
That's my one great mistake, I forgot to try the Spiral Dot on DN-1000 before I returned the FX850 to my brother (who lives in different country)... sigh.... 

But if I'm not mistaken, the Spiral Dot is relatively short, so it might be too short for DN-1000 long and big nozzle.
 
I't might look like the star DN-1K tips on the right, or might even show the nozzle more through its bore.

 
That means, the 'Dots' feature on the inner part of the eartips will likely won't give any impact to the sound quality.
 
Do you mind to post a picture of your DN-1000 with the Spiral Dot tips?  Thanks a lot!

Another great eartips for DN-2000 is the Yamaha EPH-100 eartips.
 
 

 
It lifts up the bass and mid-bass a little to give a nice warmer sound and fuller bass. Reduces the upper mid slightly to give vocal 'less shouty' presentation, and also increase the treble sparkle a little bit.
A great alternative to the 2K tips with silver ring spacer 

 
I tried the Yamaha eartips on DN-1000 as well, but they don't match.  So only sounds good with DN-2000.
 
But the problems would be:
1. I have no idea where to buy the spare eartips of those Yamaha EPH-100 eartips.
2. It doesn't grip well the DN-2000 nozzle, so always slip off the nozzle when I take off the earphone from my ear, and the eartips stuck in my ear canal.
 
Despite all the problems above, they do sound awesome with DN-2000

Yea its a bit short on the DN-1000, I think its about the same as the star tips on your DN-2k. I didn't think much about the dots when I tried them on as I was just trying to get a better seal for my DN-1000. The stock tips on the DN-1000 always stuck in my ears when I try to take them off, especially with rings The Spiral Dot tips and EP-FX8M-B are just 100 yen difference on amazon japan, so I am curious which gives a better sound.
I will definitely post a picture of DN-1K with the dot tips when I got home tonight

Cool Thanks!

Sorry for the poor quality of my phone
 

The left one is without the ring, and the right with silver ring. It covered 1/3 of the dots.

Thanks! Clear enough
The ring spacer helps to lift up the eartips, which will work the same way for the star tip of DN1K as well.
So, despite the softer silicone of the Spiral Dots, is the tonality of the Spiral Dot tips close to the star tips of DN1K ?

This is one of the best (if not the best), most detailed and informative review/comparison I've read here.
 
Good job!

Hopefully useful for the readers!
Now waiting the chance to try T-PEOS Altone200 and to compare it with DN-1000 and DN-2000
