500+ Head-Fier
Received the SpinFit tips and they're a terrible, terrible fit for the IE80. I'm livid, actually. Putting them on you can see that the canal is so narrow, about 25% of the driver remains uncovered. You can look at it and see how tightly it's squeezing. These fit my Sony MDR-EX650s much better. For reference, the Sony's require 200 series Comply, while the IE80s require 500 series.
There's just no way that ear tips should fit both earbuds. It's just dishonest. Not only that, I don't think they actually fit in my ears well. Tremendous waste of time and money.
I've ordered a set of ML Spiral Dots, based on how awesome the L ones sounded (just a little too big).
Sounds like you might have the Japanese Spinfits as I struggled to get them on as well. However, I put the Jaben's on my IE80 and didn't have any problems though the narrowness of the canal does worry me a bit. The sound was a big steps up from the Auvios I have been using. That said, I am really looking forward to what the JVC SDs can do for both my IEMs. (I also have the Flare R2As).
