    Another factor I'd like to add which is a big one for me is ear canal opening while your jaws closed. I've had trouble with IEM fitment for years at this point and I failed to nail down what's causing it till eventually it hit me. My left ear canal becomes narrower more towards the inside compared to my right. It becomes more problematic since the opening on both of my ears are about the same. I've tried to use a smaller eartip size on my left IEM, but I can't get rid of the feeling that I get a much more snug fit on my left than my right. It's a feeling I still haven't overcome, which has really made enjoying music with IEM's difficult. Perhaps custom IEM's will be able to address it. People who are able to achieve perfect seals on both ears are quite honestly lucky lol

    For me also the IEM/Earbud makes a big difference and how deep they go into your ear shape wise. For example I use L sized tips with my Airpods Pro, M sized Tips with my IE600 and SS sized tips with my Mega5est. My earcanal seems to have a weird shape :D

  • @yogiwp_
    @yogiwp_2 ай бұрын

    Best guide there is! One thing missing is more details on how insertion depth affects frequency response, as this can definitely make or break an IEM for an individual. You can tame bright IEMs by using tips that allow you to insert deeper, but this also lose some bass. In my experience basically shallower insertion -> more V shape, deeper insertion -> more flat (or mid-forward). This is all on the precondition that you get perfect seal.

    Great point! I didn't want to get too deep (heh) into insertion depth, because I feel the variables with personal ear canal resonance and acoustic impedance are outside the scope of this basic guide.

    One of the most useful guides on the platform, great job! I have really huge and deep earholes (sounds dirty) that even Dunu S&S size L is too small for me😂 perhaps I should try the XL.. but yeah this guide helped me especially in the skin department. I noticed that Sancai Balanced eartips rough texture is quite irritating for my ears. So I think my earholes are from the dry side. Been liking the Spinfit W1 the best for now but I got to try more different ones in the future.

    I recently bought my first multidriver IEM (The FIIO FH15). Because the nozzle is wider than I'm used to I have been on quite a journey to find eartips that work with my ears. My ear canals aren't the same size on both sides and my ear canals curve upward immediatly. I have trouble finding tips that seal without the opening sitting against the side of my ear canal. I'm now using the SS spinfits W1 for my right ear and MS spinfits W1 in my left ear.

    I was not prepared for the tip rolling journey I was about to embark on after buying IEM's 😂 I have three pairs of IEM and I've had to invest in around £180 worth of eartips just to find ones that are right for each IEM 😢 Final Type E on my Xenns Mangird Top is the best experience I've had so far. Loved the sound of Dunu S&S but only with my mouth closed tight, as soon as I open it I loose the seal which drives me crazy. Azla are just too stiff and painful, Spinfit are somewhere in the middle

    Damn thats a crazy collection lol. I just got some Dunu S&S tips and smh wow they are trash. I thought the CP155 were awful but these are even worse. They only sound good if you push the IEM in with your fingers and hold them in but once you let go they just spring back out like a trampoline and then youre stuck with this distant flat thin treble only sound. I think I might have to cut them with scissors or something. I dont see how anyone can use these, all three sizes dont work and I usually only wear L size eartips. The best ones that always work on every IEM is the yellow ones KBEAR07 (or whatever size/color fits your ear canal), they come stock with some IEMs like the Waner.

    Unfortunately most eartips only come in Small Medium Large, some like Final TypeE come in 5 sizes, having ExtraSmall and ExtraLarge. Only very few come in 6-7 sizes. For example Hifigo store has Azla SednaEarfit Series eartips, that come in 6 sizes, SS, S, MS, M, ML, L. Currently Hifigo and Linsoul are the only stores I buy from, all my eartips are from them.

    I'm still struggling with eartips. The best experience I have so far is the Spinfit CP100+ extra small (XS) size. I haven't tried many of course. I've had Divinity Velvet, Spring Tips Moondrop, and KZ tips. Something about my right ear is weird/different. When it sealed perfectly, the sound entirely disappears as if there's no room for the air to resonate the sound. So I push in deeper and that somehow solves the problem (but it does get a bit uncomfortable. But that means I have to push it deep. At times, when I move it goes back to losing sound entirely. I don't know why that is to be honest. It's like there's a wall inside my ears that when I insert IEM, it gets stuck there. But when I push deeper, it gets over the wall and it sounds good. Any suggestion what eartips might fit in this case? (And this only happens in one ear. My left ear is just fine).
