Has anyone tried if there are any sonic variations between the hk special edition + and the regular/international version?

What eartips people use here to boost the sub-bass presence of the 3DT?
Until now, this is the only ear tips that make whole sound super open and sub bass both rumbly and well separated from mid-high bass. Quite an eye-opener
I confirm that 3DT are VERY capricious about eartips.
I use this eartips mostly with multi-BA iem but it seem 3DT act like a multi-BA due to the drivers being tubed.

More details on the tips please. I use BGVP A07 and Philips cheap earphone tips (she2405, she3555). Philips tips are outstanding and comfortable and has boost in Sunday as well.

Unfortunately these are random large wide bore eartips i have lying around...they are very cheap. The silicone is thin and soft so it dont create discomfort from pressure. They are very similar to JCV SPIRAL DOT eartips with softer dome. It doesnt seal the 3DT nozzle perfectly which can seem scary but the result is great. I think all DD are already tuned without the need of eartips to extend bass response.

**** **** pro tips. Better bass and treble extension

Bon Jour Mon Ami. For me, with the 3DT it's Tennmak Strong Foam all the way. They seal great with their slow rebound, don't muddy the bass or clip the highs and don't rip & tear like comply. They fit lit foams bu sound like silicone and have a medium large bore that works extremely well with the 3DT. $7 for 6 pair is worth rolling the dice.

You get an A!

Which size are you using? 4.5mm or 4.9mm?

 

[Kal El]

I'm currently using Symbio F and W, alternating them based on the occasion.

I'm using the 4.5 and they work with all my universals.

I may be missing something with the tip rolling concept. I've tried Azla EarfitLight Shorts and Xelastics, and it is clear to me that the stock 3DT tips are far superior. Better bass depth and control, better tonal balance, and more realism in the soundstage. Honestly I can't get over how perfectly the stock tips perform.

I have a few foam tips to try, but usually I find they dampen out the bass a bit and it loses some texture. Honestly, I don't feel that the 3DTs can afford to lose and bass performance, since that's not their strong suit to begin with. So for me, it's the stock tips all the way.

Your not the first person to embrace the stock tips.

I also like SpinFit CP100, like the stock silicon they are soft which is great for SQ and comfort factor. Tennmak foams work ok, but I find they muffle the upper mids/treble a bit much.

BTW, the Xelastecs were absolutely HORRIBLE. I'm sorry if anyone out these loves them with the 3DT, but I found them to be literally useless. The bass was cut in half, the soundstage collapsed, and the detail went from being TOTL-grade to simply average. Nothing good whatsoever. And yes I had a good seal.

Just sharing my thoughts.
