I was having unbearable sibilance on some tracks with my triple.fi 10 which was killing me. So I did a search on head-fi and found this thread

cx300 sibilance

Yes, its a cx300 sibilance problem, but I was so desperate that I decided to give it a try. (don't worry, you won't have to dismember your precious UE XD)

1) Take the tips off the iem

2) Now, you can see the nozzle separated into 2 parts

3) Take a little cotton wool, and stuff it into each of the hole. (IMPORTANT: the cotton wool must NOT fit snugly into the hole, as details will be lost)

4) Use the earwax loop or something small to push it down a little. (About halfway down the nozzle)

5) Enjoy your new found sibilance free UE

Note: If you find some details missing, just lessen the amount of cotton wool. (You can use the wax loop to scoop out the cotton)

I was actually going to use olives to cure the sibilance and live with less treble, but it seems that isn't necessary anymore

Hoped I helped out, unless I'm the only one hearing sibilance with UE lol.

Wow... I don't think I would recommend this.

Couldn't you damage the IEMs this way?

hmm i don't really think so.. since it's only cotton

Could it just be that the filters inside are broken?

Can you replace the fliters on UE phones?

Or maybe it needs more time to burn in?

Are you sure you don't have a defective pair? There was 0 sibilance with my Triple Fi's right out of the box. Either that or some weird mismatch with your source.
