Let’s see if these come over clearly…Thanks for the reply.
Can you post a picture or two and some links for purchasing the Knowles filters?
You can see I use a thin metal tube to pop out the existing Shure acoustic screens, but before that I open the end of the white filter tube (the iem end with the red o-ring) because it tapers. In my case I used the metal tube to do that, just teasing it open by turning it off-centre.
Then I use a blunted toothpick to open it a little more, and then use the same toothpick to pop the new screen in there. The cup shape of the screen sits nicely on the end of the toothpick and you need it to go in straight.
I get Knowles dampers from AliExpress:

My regret is I should’ve purchased 3 pairs of every color first time round. At this price it’s good to get them in one shipment and not have to order more.
The screens have a kind of cup shape to them and you need to maintain their shape for them to dampen effectively.
They’re really fiddly to work with too so get extras in case you lose or mangle them.
Lmk how it goes, and I’d love to hear if anyone tries the orange 3300ohm or yellow 4700ohm. They might be too dark, but the red 2200ohm surprised me how bright they still are, but increased bass vs green and stock white Shure.
