Try the ortofon tips? Really works well with ASG. Both fit wise and sound.

Spiral dots!! Fit is great, good seal, and very nice bass.

Thanks guys. If the Spinfit don't work out, I'll give your suggestions a try.

Some of the Australian lads have been nagging me to try ASG-2, I thought why not send this beast out on demo period to a few of them. I think I'll make it compulsory they leave some form of impressions here, keep the dream alive.

I'm honestly going to miss them while they're away. But we're doing this one for Straya! 
 

 
 
I believe they're going to love them as much as me.

I have the asg2 but was wondering about these sounding so dark and unclear. Do you guys think that I have a defective pair and if I do can I send them to aurisonics for repair for no additional charge???

No additional charge if they're still in the warranty period and you've registered your pair only accordingly.
They've been very good with repairs for the folks on here (from what I can tell) so I would give it a shot, but not expect a new pair at no fee unless you are the original owner.

Have you burnt them in yet? Or play with the bass dial? If bass is set to maximum it may sound abit cloudy and congested. By nature the ASG2 is more towards warm and darker sounding. But definitely not unclear.

They are on the darker side when it comes to iems, pairing them with the right amp makes all the difference. From my experience the high frequency driver is very sensitive to impedance , the wrong amp can make them sound quite dark and muffled but get a good pairing and they really come to life and sound amazing.

Maybe that's it only tried it a bit with the bass ports closed. Not my cup of tea I prefer the visceral bass with the ports wide open. I have about 60hrs of burn in with them already I guess my problem is I will listen to something like the Pandora vi or the ie800s then switch to these immediately. When I do that it's kind of like going literally from daytime to nighttime for me. Are the asg2s really that dark, is not a bad thing and I really enjoy the bass on theses is just listening to bright iems or headphones maybe that is kind of why I find them a little unclear. I hope that is it and not something internal hopefully it just take some getting use too.

I'm using them with the ak120 and the fiio e11 they still sound a little dark but when I switch them to the ibasso dx50 they go from a little dark to pitch black for me still really enjoying them for their unmatched midbass in an iem.

I don't think they're defective. You just probably have to get used to the signature again or it could be that it isn't your preferred sound. I know when I switch from my InEar SD-2, the ASG sounds dark but after I listen for a while, I get used to it again and start enjoying it for its differences. Source makes a big difference too as mentioned above. Oh, and have you tried different tips? I know those make a big difference. Couldn't stand comply on them so I switched to Ortofon. And the stock tips weren't very impressive to me except maybe the triflange.

I'm using them with the ak120 and the fiio e11 they still sound a little dark but when I switch them to the ibasso dx50 they go from a little dark to pitch black for me still really enjoying them for their unmatched midbass in an iem.

 
I use my ASG-2 with DX50 full time, the tonality doesn't appear affected between sources.
 
If you're local in USA, sending them to Aurisonics for piece of mind and checking would be reassuring.
 
I cannot call ASG-2 dark, there's a difference. Dark is considerably veiled, with absent treble. They're warm, thick, definitely deep  sounding but not never venturing into complete blackness, if it was the case I doubt they'd be so popular. The ASG-2.5 I heard sounded darker to me, but remember my ASG-2 is slightly altered which I think is right on. 
 
What's an IEM you consider bright? What model?

 

[eargasam]

Ie800s are bright to me those were my go to iems until I got these

 

[eargasam]

Haven't really tried the ports fully closed yet though when I get back I will try that, maybe that will help but then again I love that hard hitting bass that you get when the ports are completely open.

I also use my jvc spiral tips with the asg2s sounds great.
