Want even bigger soundstage with your IE8? The MUST HAVE tip combination (with video instruction!) (and impressions!)

[decay]

Video instruction posted.

I will follow up on this one but shall restrain myself from posting threads like this.
I'll use the time saved to enjoy what new gimmick I invented quietly.

Well, it looks scary, but I just tried your original idea, with just flipping standard biflange, and it was shocking! I cannot stop listening...
I never expected such soundstage from IEM. Comfort vize it was horrible, but now I will definitely try this mod.

Thanks a lot!

NP

Bi-flange is hard as hell and really hurts until you find the right spot, and that's if you have the right size
You can try putting a sony hybrid on top with a cut-in-half comply t400 around its stem.
It may improve your comfort.

I'm not going to lie, I'm impressed with how outrageous this is.

Check the videos, putting the pieces all together takes about 1 min, finding a good seal half a minute.

If you can spare 2 minutes of your free time, why not give it a try?
It's not like you'll damage anything, but a lunatic do promise audio bliss and it might be true.

Steviebee, some of your posts are really funny and this is certainly one of them. However, there was a member who won several prizes in the very same category - and that would be none other than VoLTaG3

Thanks for your invention, man

You thanked me twice so thank you thank you

C'mon, no impressions yet? No questions? No obstacle that you couldn't solve?
I'm seriously thinking that no one even gave it a try.

Well honestly it sort of sounds like you are pulling our leg and not everyone (me being one of them) has those sony hybrid tips sitting around.

 

[decay]

I thought putting "you don't have to use sony hybrids" in red would get people's attention,
maybe I should put it on size 5.

I doubt I got anything to gain from faking this, but I'm not going to attempt anything like
this again so ta-ta-bi-doo.

 

[hockeyb213]

I am not doubting you I was just speaking to a couple of other head-fiers about it and they all thought you were pulling their leg.

 

[decay]

Thanks, but suspicions matter not as I'm enjoying my music with unprecedented detail and
clarity.

 

[rebski]

decay, thanks for making all that effort.

The least I can do is try it out once my gear is fully burned in. Won't be much longer, about another week.

 

[decay]

Thank you.

Actually, I want to hear from those that hadn't burned-in that much how much difference
it makes since mine is well over 1300+ hrs.
