Another good alternative to the Vitamin E capsules is Oto-Ease, which is made for hearing aid users. I'd use the same precautions as suggested above by Quadfather.

Thank you. I will give that product to try as well.

The viscosity of the vitamin E oil seems to stay and work longer.

I currently just tried using Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) and it seems to work as well.

I was worried petroleum may effect the IEM shell.

Depending on the tips used, I would be real careful using Vaseline. It is not good for silicone.

Tough to be picky on that choice. The Vega is closer to the 846 signature than the Andromeda, so it might be a smooth swap.

  Try not getting the vitamin E on the IEM shells.  I always wipe my hands on a paper towel after application and wipe the drivers with a dry microfiber cloth after use.  I also use a Dry and Store with dessicant Dry Brik II to keep moisture out of the SE846s.  It is normally used for hearing aids. A soft bristle paint brush can then be used to wipe any debris away.  I only use stock cords, because I found most aftermarket cords fit loosely and stress the femalr MMXC connection.

this might be a little OT from this, but has anyone gotten a little wax on the filters? anything that can be done about that?

I like more foam

how would you say the 2 are different? i use the silicon b/c they are more easily removable

I live in the USA, Do anyone know where I can get a black shure 846

Anyone here can share experiences and change in sound with each types of tips and filters?
I am thinking of a neutral sound as much as possible transparent from DAC. So will leave it blue inserts ang nozzles on basic silicon.

I read here that spinfits make a louder bass?


Any comments will be helpful.

Cheerio!
