Not sure what you mean by this, but these have been purchasable for a few years now:

I bought them right when they came out. They work amazing, made the fit much better for my ears.

I have that as well. I was more curious as to other non-Stax brands that will work in the SR002

I have seen 1 person had some on eBay but they were very expensive

Has anyone had much joy with the new generation of wide bore ear tips, especially now that a lot of universals seem to have wider bores these days?

These just came in today. Quick question: is there anything I should note if I want to remove the IEMs from the headband? Thanks!

No, not afraid. Just peel it out. Please share your experience with us. On which amp are you running this?

Running it off the Carbon. I will say that I am enjoying the mids and what it does for vocals.

For those who own the CES-A1, try stuffing some cotton into it.

To prevent biasing the impressions... let me know what you guys think

Ok I am trying using fiberfill which is often used in speakers. Bass tightened up I will keep listening and see what changes occur

 

[timb5881]

More listening with the fiber fill added. Biggest difference is cleaner bass. I am going to try cotton next.

The quantity being used also matters, try varying that until you find a sweet spot.

I tried Twaron angel hair, but ended up liking cotton better. Angel hair makes the sound a bit edgy.

Yesterday I tried cotton, and I like it better. The bass improved on the impact and dynamics. Treble was much better. Cleaner were needed overall. So far I have tried a loose amount, the tight packed kind of muffled the bass a bit

I tried reducing the amount of cotton in my set a bit - Holy hell the dynamics. Sound is a touch warmer too.

My conclusion is that the SR003 is a severely underdamped earphone. Just a little damping is all it takes to make it sound "normal".
