Are there any sound differences between the EU and Japanese versions?

Just got these and after a first listening session, I find the sound is matching the descriptions but they leak sound even when I close the eartip holes with my fingers. My Etymotics ER2XR don't leak at all. Anyone knows any isolating sponge eartips similar to Etys which can fit on the Technics? Those on ER2XR give me perfect seal but they don't fit Technics.

I use Symbio F which I find very comfortable and nothing detrimental to sound. I’ll have to check on sound leak but I think well contained.

I measured a stock eartip and It's about 6mm opening for the nozzle. Symbio F fits well on the Technics? It's opening width is 6mm? Also sound remains the same or gets altered a bit?

Within my search I found
Shure EAYLF1
Similar to Etymotic foams but not sure if they fit Technics.. Probably not.. I like their snape.

Yes fits perfectly. I don’t typically find Symbio F to alter sound the way some foam do, maybe a touch of boost to sub and pull back on treble a teeny bit - not noticeable to my ears anyway.

For now I settle with medium oval stock eartips. They get me the best seal, defined bass and the most detailed sound. In comparison, with large and extra large ones sound gets more spreaded as drivers get further away from the ear canal. None of stock tips are isolating but at least I found the ideal ones for best sound quality. I'll probably try more isolating eartips in the future. I don't know about daps but TZ700 play so good with Chord mojo 2 through android phone! With mojo 2's DSP EQ I can adjust sound although not too often needed as they have very good tonality. Extremely satisfied!
A small departure from my earbuds orientation...Yes fits perfectly. I don’t typically find Symbio F to alter sound the way some foam do, maybe a touch of boost to sub and pull back on treble a teeny bit - not noticeable to my ears anyway.
I've fitted them ( thanks Andricop
) and the Symbio hold up well for outdoor use.

Could you tell me if the difference in bass is noticeable? Between the IE900 and the TZ700. I own the former and i am a bit interested in the latter.
Thank you!
unfortunately I don't have the IE900 on hand right now but I will be meeting up with my friend tomorrow that owns them so I can do a quick back and forth. based off of my shaky memory the TZ700 has slightly more bass presence overall and the tuning allows it to be more highlighted in the signature compared to the IE900 with it's more elevated treble. Technics have more thump than the better textured IE900. maybe our resident single DD expert @Scuba Devils can weigh in, I believe he has both

I’ll a/b over the next day or so and report back but I think you are spot on in how you’ve described… TZ700 has slightly more quantity, IE900 better quality in terms of texture and speed. IE900 overall a more lively and coloured signature, TZ700 leans more reference. Definitely complementary sets.

I'm curious if you picked these up? Like you I love the Ety foams and have used them for probably 20+ years with various Etys. I've been thinking about picking up a pair of TZ700 and if so would try both the Symbio F's and also these EAYLF1... if they fit! They do really look a lot like the Ety foams. (Actually with that yellow color they look like the absolutely massive Ety large size foams, which I bought, tried and never used again lol.)
I used the SednaEarfit Max with the TZ700 yesterday and was able to get a great and comfortable fit. Just not quite as isolating as a good foam would be of course. I'd love to get Ety-level isolation with the TZ700 but I think that won't be happening...

Has anyone compared TZ 700 with VE EXT?
Adding a splash of colours to a boring Monday.
Got into the TZ700 club a bit late. Thanks to @Scuba Devils for answering my relentless barrage of questions before purchasing it. Head-fi classifieds helped me big time.
Initially, I was not exactly blown away by it, but man, did it grow on me! That massive subbass, that immaculate mid and treble details, that deep stage - just beautiful. Also found out it needs a bit more power compared to the other IEMs I have to sound proper. Although the Hiby R3 II here drives it just fine, on high gain.
This has a very unique sound signature, and I frankly find it very enjoyable to keep it in my rotation permanently.
