Man, what a rabbit hole. 🤯
I have the cp100+. They added more bass and made the soundstage wider. And somewhat sounds better than stock tips of cca cra+. Very good tip for the price!
1 tip, if you already used to Spinfit and wanted to try Azla Xelastec, DO NOT PUSH YOUR IEM TOO DEEP. Azla Xelastec is designed to just somewhat 'hang' on your ear, contrary to Spinfit which could be pushed deeply inside

@@michaelp.3485 It's the most secure one for me, it's the one i use the most on my TWS when I jog, and yes they do fit on wide bore tips like Dusks, but for stiff eartips like AZLA you need to finesse it a bit. On the downside, it's the easiest one to get dirty, so you need to regularly clean it. (Btw i envy you for having dusks, bcs in my country only regular blessing 2 exist)

final type-E tips saved me from returning my Truthear Hexa cause they sounded too thin and bright for me, but the tips balanced it out. I'm really glad I had the tips.

Love this topic. Great video. Well done and informative.
In terms of fit and sonic performance the CP100+ and W1 have become my go to tips.
W1 is my new to go eartips, it check all the boxes. It comfortable, sticky enough that help from falling, great fit, and doesn't alter sound much. Honestly my 1st tips is xlastec, but it expensive (price/pair), and always looks dirty because it's very sticky profile

My all time favorite are Final Audio e series tips, they’re very versatile and work well with most of my IEMs, perfect if you don’t like too much treble a bit . JVC spiral dots are my preferred for Blon Bl-03’s, if you don’t like the warm sound then the wide bore adds a little sparkle to them and tames the bass a bit

Just got the Spiral Dot ++ for my U12t. Tried a bunch of different ones back to back and these were my favs. They go on the U12t in a way that JVC never intended but 64Audio intended where the nozzle of the IEM goes right to the end of the tip. It's bypassing the structures inside the ear tip that give the Spiral Dots their name but it seals way better and is more comfortable than the stock 64Audio silicone tips. I had emailed 64Audio a few days ago because the stock tips slid right down where the nozzle was at the end of the tip and it didn't look right but they said that was intended to get the Tia drivers as far down the ears as possible so that the high frequencies are completely bypassing any effects that the tips would have.

@@jafizzle95 that is a very good point they made to you. When the tip of the eartip isn't close to flush with the tip of the nozzle, there is more high frequency wave cancellation inside the iem before the sound even gets to your ear canal.
Yes, this is older, but the last 5 months have been quite a learning experience. I have successfully tip rolled all of my iems, the toughest one being the ytao flagship because of some harshness in the 6-8k hz. Some of the eartips I am currently using are final original and final e type, azla xelastics, spinfit 145s I think and a number of silicone tips included in the purchases of the iems. Tip rolling takes quite a while, but it's best to tip roll after your iem has been burned in!

Hi, which ear tip is best for CCA PLA 13 IEM. I use medium size ear tips which come out of the box with CCA PLA 13 IEM.
Nice Video. Tried loads of aftermarket tips, funny thing is the one I like most came off some super cheap earphones the wife was throwing away after they broke
Do you have a video on storage and organization? A bought a few cases I thought would work before I realized something with deeper "pockets" would work better if I wanted to keep the items attached to their cables
For me, it's about having something that will provide a barrier between the lip and my ear, as well as I suppose an effective articulating joint. I haven't tried the SpinFit's yet. Will they provide sufficient protection from the lip?
Question see if you know, I ordered the spin fit 360 which say 4.5-5.5mm they wouldn’t fit on my BW Pi7s… I just ordered the W1 Which say 5-6mm. Maybe I’ll check out the Moondrop2 or spring tips in the future. Do the moon drop 2s have a large boar size as well?
You might also enjoy the JVC Spiral Dot tips. My second favorite next to the amazing W1.
I thought Final Es were my endgame tips and used them in everything, but every so often I switch back to the Springtips. Not a fan of the Sednas as they are too sticky for me. Still haven't tried Spinfit though. But yeah, Final Es sliding off my Mest MKIIs is a real thing.

@jafizzle95
Жыл бұрын
I tried the triple flange MEE Audio tips for the U12t but the tips are too long and it sounded like listening to the IEMs down a hallway. But if you like it then pay me no mind. The tips I finally found that were perfect were the JVC Spiral Dots ++ because they allow the very end of the IEM nozzle to get flush with the end of the IEM tips, which is how 64Audio told me was the intended way. Based on what they said, it's to get the Tia drivers as far down the ear as possible with zero interference from the tip itself. It pretty much completely bypasses the "dots" that give the Spiral Dots their name but they were the only tips (that I had on hand) that allowed the IEM to slide down that far. Except obviously the stock tips but I am between sizes on the stock tips and the JVC have a slightly more rigid material that seals better.

I use the 1025 . For my ears they fit amazing
Good review. I now only buy Azla Xelastec, as I can only buy my size. I'm disappointed that they gather dust quickly and get deformed easily. I bought Moondrop Chu just to have their Eartips, unfortunately I only use the "L" the others are in the drawer. The same goes for Spinfit W1, so I only use one of the three. It's a waste for nothing.
How often do you (or I should) change the ear tips?
My pick currently is AET07 from Acoustune and EP00 from EPro. For me spinfit lineup sounds weird, moondrop spring tips silicone too soft and xelastec good but easily get dirty.
I play live music and need good sound isolation. The tips with the kimera gumiho celeste iems do not seal off and let way to much ambient house noise in. Which of these tips do you recommend that will fit these??
Thank you so much for your recommendations. My IEMs used to slip away all the time, NOT ANYMORE !! just bought the W1 and it's amazing. 20€ to greatly improve the listening expreience of 1K€ IEMs is a sweet sweet deal.
Don't know if there is any problem with my ears, but when I attach W1 to Moondrop Aria and Ikko OH10, the IEM housings cannot go deep into my ear and they are like half inside, half outside, making them uncomfortable and easy to fall off.
I liked the new W-1's as well however I wish Spinfit offered a XL size to fit my larger ear canals so for me as if right now the Sedna's XL's are for me.

Got the W1 recently and they make a dramatic difference on my Dusk's compared to the default tips. The sound stage and clarity is just thicker, fuller, and overall better. Wish they weren't $20 but after taking a chance on them, I would honestly have to say it's worth it, I felt like I never really knew what the Dusk's actually sounded like completely until now.

How can you compare CP100 and Moondrop Spring ??? )) Their exit holes differ almost twice. If on my Mangird Tea2 Springs are almost perfect in terms of treble, then with SP100 they will not be at all. According to different earphones, tasks - we choose nozzles.

you should talk more specifically about the sound signature
We can enhance the performance of the original ear tips that come with the IEMs through a simple tweak, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. I utilized a small strip of Blu Tack, wrapping it around both bores/tubes of my IEMs behind the silicone ear tips' flaps. To ensure effectiveness, I straightened the flaps attached to the tubes before wrapping the Blu Tack strip and then covered the flaps back. This tweak imparted the IEM with a combined sonic character of both silicone tips and foam tips. The results were noticeable - passive noise isolation improved by nearly 70%, the bass and sub-bass became tighter and more controlled, the treble revealed more details, vocals gained a crisper quality, and the soundstage exhibited an extension. This tweak worked remarkably well for IEMs using only a single BA driver, such as FIIO FA1 and other budget IEMs like those from KZ, CCA, and TRN. You can experiment with different impacts by applying half or full-filled strips of Blu Tack on various shapes and sizes of ear tips' holes/bores. My favorite improvement is achieved by wrapping a half-filled Blu Tack on round-shaped and large hole/bore tips. Feel free to explore and innovate, as there's nothing to lose.
im trying to W1s' currently, and yes they are very comfatable but they also slide out my ears really fast

But it cost are not cheap either, have to use it carefully and clean it proper everytime I use it. Type E is another my favorite, it soft and provide pretty nice comfort. But the nozzle is pretty soft, it will wider if use it with IEM that have big nozzle. Not in the video though but JVC Spiral Dot is the interesting eartip as well.
