How do they size? If I typically use medium for foam tips, should I get medium Symbio W?
Thanks for the tip!

actually you can DIY with ear plugs ! i find them pretty good!

I did some experimenting with the built in EQ of poweramp (the player I am using on my phone). Boosting the 16khz range does wonders! Making me guess it might be a 2nd or 3rd harmonic high up in the hearable spectrum that makes the difference. It still sounds compressed and artificial but way better already.
Swapped to some smaller bore tri-fang tips but in the end the spiral dots still sound best to me. I'll keep the EQ (-2 overall and -1 for 8khz, 0 for 16khz) for the next few moments to find out if it doesn't mess up other things but it sounds a bit better this way. Funny thing is that cranking up the 16khz all the way doesn't make it sound bad; it makes it sound more natural, but with a lot of treble.
Sampled some other songs I know by heart like this (sorry for the moody song) one:

on the HD800S it's an eargasm all the way for me; holding back the tears. On the DM6 I get annoyed by that harmonic failure.

Don't get me wrong the DM6 is amazing and is acutally that amazing that I felt disappointed by this one flaw, the rest of the spectrum is spot on, same for imaging and width.

This has actually been unusual for me as I’ve had most headphones or IEMs do one thing or another which is easily findable. And.......it seems like it’s something that you now can find easy? (Congratulations) I on the other hand went looking to find a piece of music that shows it; and could not? There was places where vocals are just slighly thin, but nothing which is really ruining the music experience. My first post in this thread was from a hotel room listening to EDM of 320kbps with the DM6 IEMs and I found them almost perfect. Though my second impression was at home using my reference gear, and yes something was up. After 4 days of burn in it was still there once in a while but slighly fixed? Your hearing must be better than mine.

It reads as if you have also found the DM6 dip in relation to flat also.

Just ordered 2 sets or 6 pairs of Symbio W peels for $7.14. Such a good deal. lol

I have to get some Symbio W tips. Gonna try peeled and unpeeled. I wear ML spiral dots, any idea on the Symbio equivalent?

No need for the foam variety. To be honest most of the guys that used Symbios in the past many have chimed in saying how great the fit is after they take out the foams. Skip the foam variety and go with the peel.

The problem with the foamed W is that they sit very taut in the ear making them very uncomfortable. People resort to using one size smaller foamed tips. Which again is remedied by taking the foams out.

In fact I have a bunch of defoamed Symbios in my box. Hate how they feel in my ear with the foams. Difficult to get a good seal in the ear because of it.

I have ordered a couple of Symbio peel packs MLL

I was experimenting with foam insert from a smaller size. so S size foam into M size symbios. Better but still prefer without foam.

FiiO FA7 , 4 BA iem ,

Apparently there will be a new update to the FH5 as well the FH7 dynamic with 4BAs.

I heard the preproduction model of the FA7 at Can Jam. To be honest it was forgetable. Nothing really stood out to me on them. We will see how they price those and how they turn out.

Whizzer A-HE03 and TRN IM1 arrived today, enjoying both the TRN IM1 has elevated bass, great for EDM and trance. The Whizzer A-HE03 is much more refined with a really clean signature (once I sorted out which tips to use, ended up using RHA ones)

Sounds promising, still waiting for mine...

Is that with the foams in them? Once you take the foams out they become normal to their size. They arent larger than the Spiral Dots for example.

They just feel larger if the foams are in there. If you havent tried it. Try taking the foams out. All it is, is just a donut shaped foam insert.

Well yea, of course. But they are special because they have foams in them.

I have tried them without the foams and they are smaller, but that's sort of a given.

You know what works for me is I use one of them donut shaped foams on my Spiral dots. More comfortable on my Spiral Dots for some reason. So I get a better isolating Spiral Dot.
