Is the 8 wire cable any better than the 4 wire cable as it is £200 upgrade in UK.

Just got the Crimson in today and have to say, I'm a huge fan. I absolutely hate the tips that it comes with though and swapped to some spinfit ones I had laying around. Actually grabbed the velvet ones last week but sadly those don't fit.
Going to do a comparison between the Crimson, Z1R and Diva later when I get the chance. So far though, after changing the tips I'm loving the Crimson and think it might be my go-to. It doesn't have the wow factor that the Diva does with vocals or the bass of the Z1R but it's a better all arounder then both.

Are you saying the eartips don't fit the IEM, or in your ears? They do fit on the IEM (it would be strange if they didn't since the Crimson comes with a set of them) but they're pretty hard to get on since the core is relatively small, so it helps to try to stretch it a little before you put them on the IEM.
I've received mine a few weeks ago and I've been listening to them daily since then. Sound-wise they are without a doubt the real deal but I actually don't have a great fit with them and I have a bunch of other, small issues.
I might put down some impressions after I've had some more time to get used to them and some time to gather my thoughts.

I was saying the Velvet tips I bought the week prior (not the ones included with the Crimson) wouldn't fit. When I posted this, I didn't even see the velvet tips in the Crimson package and have since tried those but feel like the IEM is always falling out. The Crimson is the first IEM I've got however where many of the tips I've tried don't keep the IEM very locked into my ear. Right now I've been using the Spinfit W1 and they're staying mostly locked in now.

My go-to tips are the W1’s, however I received the HSE today, which as far as I’m aware, has the exact same shell as the Crimson, and i too found them a bit of a challenge to find the right tip to keep them fitting securely. Even my W1’s weren’t cutting it.
It seems like they went a little too far shortening the nozzle, after the feedback from the OG Helios, that the nozzle was too long.
However, I tried the Azla Sedna wide bores (long stem not shorts), and they work really well, giving a secure snug fit.

Yes those (the lights) or the regular black ones. Either or. Only difference is the lights are a slightly softer material.
I’d get a couple of sizes though, I use the ML whereas I’d usually go with large for most tips.
I bought them from AE from this store:

Just make sure they’re the long (not short) ones.

Hey Crimson owners, any tips on getting the divinus velvet tips on? Felt impossible after multiple attempts
I eventually got them on but didn't like the pairing, IEM kept falling out of my ear. It's super difficult to get them on, don't have any tips (hah) for you though.
Using Spinfits now that actually stay in and think I'm happy with them.

Turn in inside out.
Put the stem half way on and push it across the opening. If that makes sense. It will take a little time to get the process down.
I wished the company had provided an instruction. I almost pushed the metal mesh in…
The trick I learned is to get one side of the rim in as much as possible, then squeeze the middle of the rim and try to tilt the tip. If you get it right, the tilt will be very easy and the tip will snap on instantly. Don’t try to force it though.
Here's how I do it. I lay the IEM down flat. I squeeze the eartip to get as wide of an opening, place it over the rim of the nozzle, and unsqueeze as I roll it on.
Thanks for the ‘tips’ guys. Got it in! Used a combination of all your suggestions. What worked for me was to turn it inside out, squeeze the barrel in the middle, angled it to get one side in first, then slowly twist until the other end wraps around it and slowly push in.
Received the crimsons yesterday and pairing it up with the AK SE300. So amazed by the sound. Decided on this over the Monarch Mk3 and couldn’t be happier
