Ummm, what is T tips? I don't have much knowledge about tips since I'm stingy and thus only use included tips and a few spin-fit that I got on discount :dt880smile:



I think I might be unwell, since I have a vague feeling that my E5000 sounds better with the stock Final cable (apparently very very fancy, according to Final) comparing to the cheap replacement cable from XINHS. I must be really unwell. Should stop all A/B tests for today :dt880smile: Finalising the review of Shanling M6 Ultra, btw.

New TRN tips in a softer clear silicon with ridges toward the back of the umbrella.:L3000:

TRN T-Ear tips:
▶︎Same quasi-latest gen silicone used for Moondrop’s SpringTips
▶︎Great material to trim somewhat boomy and loose bass dynamic driver while taming excessive spikes on treble (which works great for many TRN /KZ’s V-tuned IEMs!)
▶︎Pretty reasonably priced (I got it as $4.62 for 3 pairs of L-size)

Good match:
▶︎AFUL Performer 5 ; it trims somewhat loose bio-diaphragm transient response while assuring P5’s raison detre , the additional dimension of bass imaging articulation. P5 x T-Ear Tip on classical = very mind blowing contrabass and horn performance, speaker‘s subwoofer like resonance.

▶︎Monarch ; same to Moondrop’s Spring Tips, T-Ear tips has good harmonic match with Monarch’s somewhat slow responding dynamic subwoofer, while Spring Tips will render more sparkle for Monarch, T-Ear tips will tone it a little bit down, a calmer tuning which actually fits better for long time listening

▶︎Minor model changed current issue of KZ ZS5; T-Ear tips has good synergy with new ZS5, it will tame ZS5’s treble to a safe line that won’t cross the line, of which with stock ear tips ZS5 had some offensive spots. It has good synergy with the dynamic driver of ZS5 as well.

Overall, pretty nice new ear tip sets to welcome. price is fair, material is premium, fits snugly ,a great ear tip T-ear tips are.

I like how TRN calls their ear tips “waveguide” as many IEM brands seemed very reluctant that ear tips are indeed very important final wave product delivery channel. A barrel for firearms they are.
I guess this one.

It’s another good one l, but I believe there is no A>B for ear tips, because it’s all about synergies and combinations. Exception applies to lowest grade ear tips which barely could perform its sound wave guiding.

I mean I just bought Allegro (3499.99 USD) & Viking Ragnar (4000 USD) with my income last year lol. You asking me that question? You cannot afford doesn't mean others cannnot afford too.

Recommend you to do side investments too such as crypto trading. Ethereum is at 1529 USD FYI. If you day trade Ethereum today, you are up by 8% already then you can use the profits to buy your favourite audio gears.

I think I will block you. You are toxic. Everyone in this thread, please take note of this user. Toxicity at its best.

Your attitude and rudeness, make your accusations of toxicity in others somewhat ironic. I am as unimpressed by your kilobuck IEMs as I am by your posts and opinions. I will however be following your suggestion and using the block function.

Goodbye!

Day trading crypto? Yikes.
Instead of giving such comments, you should go and learn how to do it so you can buy any audio gears with the profits. Cheers.

Well he started first by questioning me with an intention. After that, he apologised so it's all good. The most important thing is not to doubt anything without trying and also not to be jealous. Cheers.

Please block me. Appreciate it. :)

I find T tips a bit better than HS18, and S&S tips are just weird.
I wasted money on the S&S tips. The large aren't large. They are medium tips masquerading as large tips. Now a XL would be much better.

I would say they are physically better at least as HS18 tips tend to slip out of the ears for me.

Thanks, but no. My portfolio is already plenty diversified and I can afford any gear I really want. I’ve got no interest in getting involved with crypto, NFTs or any other schemes of a similar nature.

About a time to shift to S&P500 linked ETFs from conservative overnight short term government notes👍 Poor performing companies will get kicked out of S&P500, so we always get the best ones.

I guess AFUL Performer 5 could get more attentions with FiiO’s FH18 eartips paired.



I‘m playing this very bass technicality and musicality demanding track and P5‘s performance is just “wow”.

Both Softears RSV and P5 handles this track evenly good.

I’m leaning toward P5‘s organic and fullsize speaker-like sounding bass

I already have a portfolio manager. But thanks anyway.

New Moondrop IEMs incoming. Named "Droplet". Apparently another USB-C equipped, DSP-totting budget offering.

The design is fairly unique though, reminds me of something I cannot type here lol 😂
