Thanks for the info, I might just fool around with various materials for fun as long as they are not small enough to fall into the driver housing.

Are there 2 exact same eartips in the packaging of the Alfa Genus V2? I got them today and it seems like they are exactly the same, but I'm still not sure...

Imo there isn't a lot of difference between the 3 filters in the Alfa Genus V2. The silver one has a bit more bass than the other filters, and that's the most noticable difference imo. The black filter has a bit more uppermids and lower treble than the other filters, but honestly it's just marginal, while the gold filter has as much bass as the black filter, but is slightly smoother in the upper mids and lower treble.

What tips can I use that sound close (or better) to the original medium sized tips (that already came installed on them when you open the box), but only with a better seal? Since the right side of the earphone keeps falling out of my ear lately, no matter how hard I push them in.

I never did mess with adding stuff to the filters.
After a year of gentle care, my Alfa's left side is no longer working it appears to be a connection issue that is causing the problem. I could crack open the ebony housing but would want to know what I would come across inside as well as having a plan for putting it back together without adding build or uneven damping between buds.
 

I treated them nicely, I wish they lasted longer.

Looking at the last post, and reviews on Amazon, it seems not uncommon for them to fail in this manner after any given period of time.
Does anyone know if v2 is improved in build quality, and it seems that interest in this particular IEM has waned somewhat? Were they a flash in the pan? Not up to competition in their price range? Or...? Because I was interested in these, but the new Trinity models seem to be stealing the limelight....

My alfa genus are still going well. The alfa genus is a very nicely tuned lower-priced IEM, but for IEMs for under $100, the Trinity Vyrus is my favorite. If you like the alfa genus and want more detail, accesories, tunability, etc., the Vyrus is worth your consideration.

Thanks.
That is exactly the model that I have been eyeing as an alternative. The nice thing about the AG is that I can go down the road and buy off the shelf. The Vyrus obviously not, so convenience is a factor. You rate them much higher though?

There is a price difference between the alfa genus and Vyrus. Ignoring that and just considering the IEMs are under $100, the Vyrus is head, shoulders and torso above the alfa genus. (The alfa genus' ebony is a very nice touch, though).

Make sure you input the head-fi discount code when ordering. The discount code is listed in Trinity Bob's signature. Hope that helps.

 

[Intensecure]

That's the kind of definitive statement that swings it...thank you.
I've already contacted Trinity, got the code, and now just need to order.
Looking forwards...

Hi all,

A video I recorded a month or two ago. On Rock Jaw Audio brand values and a bit on me personally. I only just got around to publishing it.

I thought I would publish it on here as well as the YouTube channel I have.
