Hey @TwinACStacks
 
The IEM500 is 17 ohms FYI
 
IEM500: Drivers                 8 mm Woofer and 5.8 mm Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter / channel   
DCR                     17 ohms / channel
Sensitivity             106 dB / 1 Watt @ 1 kHz
Distortion              average distortion < 1% @ 100dB drive level
Freq. Response     20 Hz to 19 kHz
Microphone           High Sensitivity Electret Microphone
 
 
Will you be getting an IEM500 thread rolling so it does not cross over with the Rock stuff ?

May I know what eartips you guys are using for the Mula's? Just got these, and find that.....good sound, but the isolation is bad with stock tips, and I feel like o may be missing out a little

That would be 17 ohms PER channel. Wired in series its apprx. 34 ohms, about what I figured.
 
No, I'm not hyping the IEM500 in any way.  If people want to try it go for it. Someone else can start a thread if they are inclined.

Try these aftermarket wide-bore silicone tips. They give me a really wide and engaging soundstage and the balance is nicely done. They seal nice and snug for me. Though, others may differ, but you already got them and as you say they sound good to you.
So, try these for a better seal and wider soundstage. Heck, for the price? The build quality on these are really great as well.

Did I buy the right ones for ZIRCON to control the bass and bring up the mids ?

So I'm guessing JVC Spiral dots will do the trick? Or RHA tips?

Yup, they might just do this for the Zircon's. They look nice in blue, too!

Can not say, since I don't have any of those. But, with the many tips that I carry, the one's I showed you in the link did it for me.

After extensive listening and tip rolling with the Mula's they are going to the back of the drawer. I wish they sounded as good as they look...
 
btw still no Zircon's after 30+ days

Ah yes, the old iem graveyard as I call it:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Sorry to hear your Zircon's have not made it yet, reminds me I need to look back and see when I ordered mine:open_mouth:

Glad I passed on the Mulas (I've learned to ignore certain people's comments).  Anyway, sounds like your Zircons are MIA. I live in the US also and it typically takes 10 to 14 days to get Aliexpress orders.

Yep, the Mula's are pretty weak compared to other earphones.
 
I've been enjoying the powerful sound of Plextone X41M lately. Crazy bass and sub-bass performance. A bit warmer on the highs tho.
