I wanted to use them on the U18/Fourte but thought they slid on and off too easily... you don't get that problem? Was afraid of a stray eartip getting stuck inside lol

I haven’t noticed them being too loose yet. I will report back.

Did y’all order them off eBay? I order mine off eBay and about a month and half ago and still don’t have them. Requested they send me another pair but no word in 3 days.

Yep, ordered off of eBay. Took just over 2 weeks to arrive.

Symbio's are good and snug fit on my u18t.

After a long time of not using my U6, put them in yesterday and it never ceases to amaze me how good they are. Full but incredible soundstage. The vocals are a little on the fuller/warmer side but the highs still extend with great detail and clarity.

Here’s where I stand. I was on vacations so it took me a while to send in my impressions.

I’m thinking maybe another week or so I should have it.

I finally received Fourte (much smaller than what I expected) today. I find it just as transparent and clear as A18 in universal format. Does it sound way better than A18?
I haven't noticed much difference..it seems to have as much bass quantity and tightness. Separation and staging is as amazing as A18, too.
I did notice the difference when I had layla 2 universal (somewhat veiled) so I am relieved that fourte is in different league.

I couldn't use symbio tip as it wouldn't stay tight enough but using comply tip provided now. I wish these ear pieces stay a little more tightly on the ears tho.
Perhaps, I am feeling this because I am used to custom ear pieces.

Woot. I'm waiting for EE's Legend X to drop to compare with Tia Fourte so I can decide which hybrid i want ! Excited much ?!

After couple more hours of listening on Fourte I come to realize that Fourte clearly has a bigger hardware capacity to handle the lower frequency giving more reserved/tolerating bass response than on A18. It resembles a full size headphone sub bass right in your ear, so kinda overwhelming at times.

It's amazing how this small universal IEM can surpass the 18 drivers custom IEM in terms of sound quality.

It's amazing how clear vocals are even at low volume with Tia Fourte. It can be quite addictive actually. A18t in the other hand, sound separation and stages are just hard to beat. On some tracks, I think bass can be a bit too boomy even with M15 in comparison to Fourte.

I mentioned this a few posts back.
Really loving my u18t, but one thing I don't like about it is the way the cable easily retains and shows bends. So I am very careful not to bend it much.
Does this bother anyone else?
