Should I order Azla Max tips for my SR5?

No idea, but from what I've read they push the bass

Getting some serious fomo here reading these updates. If not for the incompetence of the local post, I would have had both my SR5, and SR8 by now.

Don't let the FOMO grow. Just be patient and really enjoy it when it comes!

In reality, performance is great, but probably only incremental over your other sets and so you're not missing out on as much as you think.

My FOMO is mainly from the annoyance I am facing with the local post, otherwise, I am eagerly waiting to try both sets!

Just tested the W1 Spinfit tips with SR5 + BlackSoul cable.
They are good tips but remove to much treble and sparkling from the SR5. TRN T tips it is!

The sparkle with Azla Vivid tips is amazing. Such a powerful treble.

Spinfit tips come close but the Vivid tips really fit their name.

They are on my wishlist.

I've not heard the SR5 but I imagine it would be closer to your S12 Pro in terms technicalities but with a warmer tonality and more 'natural' bass and treble. Obviously you may sacrifice some speed but multi-driver IEMs tend to cope well with complex stuff anyway.

Let us know how you get on !

The O2 it's a warm IEM. I have mine since 2019, and in some ways I can understand why people like it, but for me I always found it a bit congested.

The SR5 is nothing like the O2. It's a more neutral bright set with good bass. It's a very good IEM for every music types, especially Rock/Metal, etc...
One must ignore the original cable and tips and go for some tips and cable rolling.
I think if it's paired with the correct cable and tips, it can be the endgame for a lot of people... It would be for me, if I stoped coming here everyday

Akros is testing SR8 so soon we will have new wave of these who are interested in;
BTW : congrats to someone who picked SR8 for 625 USD, it's one of a deal
