The Tip-Rolling/IEM Modification Thread

Which eartips is good for jvc fx850 isolation and comfort?

 

[CoiL]

 
For KZ ED9 I found best solution with #1 white gel-silicones because they are ultra-soft and ED9 with its small body and quite long nozzle requires deep insertion.
I used little spacers cut from sony hybrid and ED9 tips necks to keep those small tips more on top of nozzle to leave nozzle breathing hole totally free. And being ultra-soft, lets them "contract" deep in ear-channel.

 
 
Also, I have interesting tips incoming soon with this IEM (bought only because of tips): http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Huawei-3-5mm-earbuds-dj-earphone-Bass-with-Mic-noise-isolating-Headset-earphones-earbuds-For-Huawei/32378986602.html

Got those "Huawei Honor" tips in last link and they are very good match for ED9. Recommend to try if someone has problems with ED9 fit. They seal well and are from soft comfy silicone, hold ED9 from moving very good (longer and pointier shape than usual).

Which eartips is good for jvc fx850 isolation and comfort (perfect fit)

  Don`t they cover breathing hole too much? Share a pic? Where to buy them?

I assume you shot that question to me? and in those 2 pictures (bottom flanges flipped) one tip is rolled regularly and the other extending the core till the end of the nozzle blocking the vent, that might give you an idea and if you look the inside,the core is more recessed. I haven't listened extensively to the vent block fit yet. And btw, these bi-flange tips are part of b'wavz IEM's stock tips (S1,M5,S5 etc) and never seen MP4N stock them separately.

For KZ ANV, I find so far best fit and SQ with silicones from another KZ IEM - ED9 medium grey ones.

 
Triple and double flanes are also ok but by SQ little less good. Medium triple-flanges go littlebit too deep (little irritation), have small bore and too long/wide/low "skirt" that covers breathing hole, which affects ANV sound too much. Double flanges are actually cut out of small triple-flanges, have medium size bore and elevated lowest flange which doesn`t cover breathing hole, resulting better sound than medium triple flanges. Those triple and double flanges are still very soft and good for other similar nozzle shape/length type IEM`s but just not so good match for ANV sound.

Before I found best fit & sound with medium sized ED9 light-grey(not ED9 dark-grey tips) tips.
These new tips are with littlebit firmer and pointier shape silicone (but still soft) and larger bore.
I Rarely use medium sized tips due to my ear-canals being small/narrow but with ANV nozzle length and size it`s a must. 
 
I also find those new (but in smallest size) great with ED9 and ED10. Recommended buy for tip collection!

Have been admiring the Huaweis on Aliexpress for a while now and it's good to see that the tips aren't half bad. Might have to pick up a pair.

Ran some tip-rolling with my YINJW wooden "IE800" (2014 open-back grills version) WOM-mod and found best results with Huawei Honor tips:

 
In some weird way I get best seal and tightened, more controlled, clearer bass with those. Happy I decided to buy those cheap Huawei IEM`s just for those tips.
Other good results were with JVC spiral dots and no-name ultra-soft white ones (I`ve mentioned here before).

Nice! The shape just seems particularly comfy.

Need little help... sometime ago I saw IEM on aliexpress that had very similar silicone tips to Huawei Honor but I can`t recall what cheap IEM that was. Those tips were in dark-grey/red core.
If someone remembers what IEM that was, would appreciate sharing name or link!
 
Edit: I found my posted pic of that IEM/Tips but I can`t find my post or name of this IEM -.-

 

[TwinQY]

I believe those are the HUAST H10 (according to a reverse image search).

Thanks a lot! Found them lot cheaper though: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/HUAST-H10-Professional-Monitor-DJ-Studio-Bass-stereo-Ear-Buds-Headphones-3-5mm-Mobile-Phone-Headset/32541707178.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.11.vo5DdP&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_3,searchweb201644_1_505_506_503_504_502_10001_10002_10016_10017_10010_10005_10011_10006_10003_10004_10009_10008,searchweb201560_1,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_6448&btsid=3859f105-bc05-4d6f-ac63-25e5c70b7390
 
Will get those just for tips collection. Any other recommendations with similar shape/size?

 

[TwinQY]

Nothing with bores as large as those, at least from what I can come up with. If anyone can find a shop that sells something similar in 10, 12-packs, that would be a godsend.

Got them some time ago from link mentioned in quote and they really are worth to get tips imho. One of my best silicone tips along with JVC spiral dot, Philips UE and Huawei Honor tips. I think I will buy another pair for backup. Also got some other new good no-name silicones. Now hunting for some Auvios, Spinfits and Olives. Will post new collection picture and impressions soon.
