yess i've colleted all eartips from any cheap iems that come along but yess sometimes the unknown eartips is surprisingly match the iems and make the tonal right to my preference.
I'm here because my Zero Red tips stretched out and keeps falling off the IEMs.. It's disappointing, since I never had this problem with my Shure and Etymotic IEMs. I guess this is what we can expect from Chi-Fi... Tried some spin tips but not sure I'm a fan... I'll try others on your list. Great video thank you!
Thanks for this video ! I'm currently having issues with my Blessing 2 and 3 eartips, I use spring tips and san cai tips for my Blessing 2 and 3, but after just 2 months, my sancai and spring tips started to get loose, they easily slip out of Blessing 2 and 3's nozzle and get stuck inside my ears lol. Unfortunately the regular Final type E tips does not work with any of the Blessings, it slips out on its own, same with Softears UC tips I'm planning to get either Spinfits CP100+ or Spinfits W1, hopefully they can grip the Blessing's chonky and smooth nozzles.
Recycling tips from other sets has saved me in the past. Important to remember this. Thanks for covering this. Tip rolling is my least favorite part of this hobby.
Tip rolling is absolute 1d10cy. The sound of that eartips is horrible in both cases. Music becomes a bag of noise. Not much better than under-$1 eartips
Hey I really liked this video, I was about to buy new tips for my truthear zero after it become loose and kept falling off. 4:45 does final e tips fit properly for truthear zero, I thought the stem size is wider in truthear zero than normal
It does, although it's tough to get it in, but the stem is long enough to cover the whole tube of zero, leaving some space for buffering as well. After getting it in, it's just there forever and I don't feel like getting anything better for both of the zeros.
CP100s are still my go to. Maybe the shape of my ear cannel is messed up, but the bendable sound tube really helps with comfort and keeping a seal over a long period of time. Something I struggle with a lot of tips regardless of size. My favorite sounding are the Azla Crystals tho, really great treble extension without noticeable overemphasis.
cp100 are neutral, if you have perfect iem or you are happy with current, cp100 are ok, but if you have iem you wanna to correct anything cp100 are useless..
Dunu s&s tips and divinus velvet tips tend to work for me. Though, the s&s are like perfect on all 3 sets I have and I’ve given up on others. People love the spring tips, I hate them. The xelastic for AirPods Pro are great, but suck otherwise for me
Same here... Those are the 2 types I go to for everything! And I really appreciated the note in the video asking for MS sized Dunu S&S Tips. I would love ML sized tips. @Dunu... Wherever you may be.... Please make MS and ML sized S&S tips!
I bought Spinfit W1 for my Blessing 3. The bass sounds somewhat cleaner and more well defined, which I quite like. Soundstage is somewhat deeper, I can feel the distance of the sources a wee bit more. Everything sounds noticeably more clear overall. Verdict: Spinfit the goat!
real, i got truthear zeros for gaming with small W1 tips and the soundstage is insane, i can hear things so far off that its genuinely made people claim im hacking because i already know where they are just based off sound alone
@@tr6sh95 im not playing lol i hear people get on rappel on r6 from miles out and they accuse me of walling when i can hear them getting on a window from 5 rooms away
Spinfit W1 is my go to. Grips onto any nozzle so no lip required to stay in place, good texture and stickiness, great sound and comes in enough sizes that you can find one that fits perfectly. I found that I use a S, MS or M depending on the earphones nozzle size. Truthear Hola I use a S, Truthear Hexa a MS and the Moondrop Beautiful World a MS or M works fine.
Never owned a pair of supermix, so really cannot comment much on that... but you may want to look into tip models that have ms size in between, e.g. Acoustune AET07, divinus velvet, spinfit omni etc.
Nice video on eartips !. A must ave for iems/ tws Tried em all, final eset, spinfit cp 100s/ cp/ 800s, etc. I despize the sticky/ krinkly/ sound of those types Azla/ etc.. Eartips & working on your fit, will getta person the best sound out of there iems/ tws.
Vote for audiosense s400. Helped me with fit issues on the arrti t10 (though more bass on top of an already warm set is iffy) and with balancing the treble on Night Oblivion Butastur. Stock penon/isn green tips without treble switch, s400 with it on.
Beside memory foam tips (which I personally am not a fan either), are there suggestions for tips you use to curb the treble on an IEM just a bit? I have the Dunu Glaciers and out of the stock tips I prefer the candy tips sized small (for deeper insertion depth for confort and reduced treble peeks, tho I usually use medium sized tips for other iems), and some of the third party tips I tried (Like the Moondrop Springtips and Xelastec) only accentuated the problem.
Hmmm, that sound exactly like my problem on SA6 MKII, which was a hell to tip swap. I know exactly what I needed "relative hard sound tube, middle to long sound tube with some buffering inside, wide opening, bullet type, soft surface for max comfort, and a suitable size", and the closest i get, was Tangzu Sancai M size Regular (NOT the wide bore one), still not perfect tho. You may try that one out, but since I've never owned a pair of Glaciers, can't say for sure of course.
I just put it in normally, with a little bit of force of course, because it's on the tight side. But once it's in, it just stay there, and I never bother to change it again.
Never owned a pair of momentum wireless 4 so really cannot comment too much, but wireless earbuds tend to have very short stem, you may look into any eartips with shorter tube by checking out the spec on their respective website. I use spinfit omni on Moondrop Golden Age, and Acoustune AET07 on Alice.
@@catadegen The omni work !! Thanks a lot for that ! They are around 2mm shorter than the one i had before but that not fit perfectly, passed the seal test and the case closing properly yay ! AET are like 1mm too long
Oh wow you're still small I absolutely adore your storytelling, and the comfy vibe of your videos. You're one I could easily watch hour long essays of- please continue making videos. You're gonna explode in popularity
I should say right after this I started watching the hour long video of the Pokemon ranking- currently about 40m in It's raining outside I've cocoa and a cozy video Life is good
Sorry to hear that, but when i look into c700n, it looks like it's the problem of the shell instead (very flat on the surface touching the ear), may consider looking into some iem with very small shell, like chu2.
I can strongly recommend Eletech Baroque eartips, personally found them to be really good for wide nozzle IEMs like the 7Hz x Crinacle Zero: 2 (easily slid on, unlike the Omni, W1, or Velvet, which required a good couple minutes of struggling to get on, and near 10 minutes to take off). Personally, I found the Velvet eartips to feel quite dry, like they were stealing moisture from my skin while wearing them. They did round off the treble region so that it sounds softer, so got no real complaints there (as I know from experience that dry eartips do get better over time as you use them). Though, ranking-wise for the Zero 2, imo: the stock eartips and the DUNU Velvet come dead last (stock are alright sounding, nothing great - the Velvet was not enjoyable, but I could see what it was going for and that it did it pretty well), then the W1 and Omni sharing 2nd place, and the Baroque Eletech coming in first, in terms of overall experience and sound.
@@BrandonAdams1010 Getting those eartips was mostly to see if I'd notice eartips having an effect on sound, and with that, which one I'd prefer more. Since eartips can be used for multiple IEMs, it is also a minor long term investment, as it also means I have eartips I know will sound great ready to go if I don't like the stock ones that'll come with any future purchase.
So glad I bought a cheap fishing lure box for eartips at the start of this hobby! Currently fitting Dunu s/s style tips that came with a second hand CCA CRA set to Kefine Klanars
Its a very good guide, but i still gotta ask because my moondrop spring tips which came with my Katos died. So ... i tried some random eartip (my friend has a cheap Fiio Jade audio) and well the comfort man. The spring tips are just so much more comfortable... but now i think the spring tips (L) , Xl is not available, are a little small for my left ear specifically. So.... should i just take a leap pf faith and get the Finals E? I just want to know in case of comfort how do they compare to spring tips ? Thanks in advance. Also good luck for Clorinde.
I think comfort wise will be worse than spring tips (on kato specifically), because texture wise it’s on the regular rigid side and shape wise it is a normal ball shape with small opening, unlike spring tip which is on the softer end with large opening. I was using acoustune aex70 on kato because it’s on the softer end as well. You may try type e, but don’t expect it will be more comfortable than any regular eartips (unless you have a perfect shape fitting on that specific pair of item), otherwise I will go for thing with roughly the same texture, aka spring tips, aex70,or Fiio hs18(never tried it , but texture wise it looks like aex70, and people keep pumping this keyword to my face).
Are there silicone eartips designed to reduce occlusion effect? It's when you hear yourself breathing, humming, or eating as loud as or louder than the music. I find foam tips help but it hurts after a while.
Thanks for the vid :)) I’m using my 7Hz Zero eartip with my Zero Red haha the stock Red ones don’t fit for me cuz the nozzle is too long or too large so it doesn’t go in deep enough.
It's hard to get it in for the first time, but you can still push it all the way down to the stopper because it's elastic. And once it's settled and checked that there's still space between the tip and nozzle for buffering, I just never change it out again.
So I usually use L eartips with about 13.8mm diameter. Divinus Velvet has ML at 13.2mm and L at 14.2, and the widest point is more to the front. Do you think I should get ML instead of L?
@@catadegen Thanks. I also just realized looking at my tips' specs it's actually 13.8mm only at the bottom while middle part is 12.5-13mm. I suppose the tips count as 13mm then?
I do have a pair of w1s, but I still don't have a chance to use it, because the tube is on the long side, and the surface is on the sticky side. In that sense, yes, I do prefer omni because I'm actually using it, but I'm still keeping a pair of w1s for potential use case in the future.
Np. Top 3 right now? It's actually hard to choose, since I tip roll according to the physical spec of the earphones and eartips. But based on the number of usage, it should be Final Audio Type E, sancai eartips and fiio hs18, as of now.
I have to caution against azla xelastec, it definitely isn't the most durable eartip if used daily probably 1-2 months lifespan. It mold against your ear canal shape after some time (not in a good way in long run). Tried the warm water reform method, it just went downhill from there.
I don't think IEMS are for me, my left and right ears just dont agree with sizing. I can never get the volume or seal to feel right no matter what I try. Bought around $100 dollars worth of eartips by now, and it just aint working out. My right ear gets a tighter seal because my right ear canal is literally smaller than my left side, and because of that bass is noticeably more present on my right ear, and the left side can't get the same sound no matter the sizing I try.
I'm sorry to hear that, yah I do realize the size of my ear canals are not the same as well, just not as noticeable as yours. Have you tried using different size eartips just on your left ear? like M for left ear, MS for right ear etc.?
Hmmmm for the cost added on it, it's really hard to recommend anything, try to find something with SHORT tubing i'd say, since I'm using Spinfit Omni on Golden Ages. PS I just use the default eartips on Space Travel when I have it.
@@catadegen Oh thank you, I'd love to try spinfit omni but I'm currently broke, as for the default eartips I really hate it because they keep sliding out of my ear when it gets oily.
@@madricktony6493yea i had problems with the earbuds not staying in place with the stock tips but the omnis def helped tho i would say they sound a lil different with them on
@@madricktony6493 just get its own brand name, the moondrop springtips. it's a good eartips for starters like me. right now, i'm trying Tangzu sancai and TRN to see the difference.
One thing I would like to add is for some eartips, you can just buy an IEM from the company and get the tips and and an IEM for essentially free (or vise versa). Some examples are: Moondrop Springtips + Chu Final Audio Type E + E1000/E500 Anyways, love the chill vibe and also super informative!
What would be a good eartips for sets like the Yanyin Canon 2? It's a warm U-shaped tuning with smooth treble. I tried the Final E tips but it feels like the bass just got a tad bit too strong for me for an iem that is already bassy enough. I don't mind eartips that can make the treble more airy at the cost of less bass.
Hmmmmm, in that case, I'd try things with wider opening and shorter sound tube, you may check out things like Final E Tips (TWS version), or spring tips etc. Just a recommendation without even owning the pair of earphones that you mentioned tho o/
@@lokrj Yap, i checked it out on the website, i just put a disclaimer because I've never owned a pair to have proper experience to comment too much. What I saw from the website is that it has a relative short sound tube, and the default eartips /Type E (Regular) both have narrow opening, that's why I'd recommend trying eartips with wider opening and shorter sound tube.
Catadegen: "Nah, id guide."
yess i've colleted all eartips from any cheap iems that come along but yess sometimes the unknown eartips is surprisingly match the iems and make the tonal right to my preference.
I'm here because my Zero Red tips stretched out and keeps falling off the IEMs..

Maybe your nozzle needs an alcohol cleaning due to oils
@@Hijynx87I'll give this a try, thanks!
@@Hijynx87didn't work for me. Bottom line is the tips simply don't fit. Get new ones.
What do you think about the Final type E?
It's just an universally, normally good tips, in the most normal way.
Also, why don't companies sell a "test set" so we can know what size to buy?!? 😓
Would the divinus velvet tips be good for someone who experiences the occlusion effect with IEMs?
I don't think so... it just helps releasing excessive in-ear pressure.
Alright :/. My boyfriend gets that with IEMs and I was trying to find a fix for him haha

@@madricktony6493yea i had problems with the earbuds not staying in place with the stock tips but the omnis def helped tho i would say they sound a lil different with them on
@@madricktony6493 just get its own brand name, the moondrop springtips. it's a good eartips for starters like me. right now, i'm trying Tangzu sancai and TRN to see the difference.
One thing I would like to add is for some eartips, you can just buy an IEM from the company and get the tips and and an IEM for essentially free (or vise versa).
Some examples are:
Moondrop Springtips + Chu
Final Audio Type E + E1000/E500
Anyways, love the chill vibe and also super informative!
Thank you for this video again
Do you have any recommendations for eartips for kiwi ears cadenza by chance?
Np, iirc I was just using the default white/half transparent eartips M size that came with it.
You have no ears
What would be a good eartips for sets like the Yanyin Canon 2? It's a warm U-shaped tuning with smooth treble.
I tried the Final E tips but it feels like the bass just got a tad bit too strong for me for an iem that is already bassy enough. I don't mind eartips that can make the treble more airy at the cost of less bass.
Hmmmmm, in that case, I'd try things with wider opening and shorter sound tube, you may check out things like Final E Tips (TWS version), or spring tips etc.
Just a recommendation without even owning the pair of earphones that you mentioned tho o/
@@catadegen eh, i put it there, the Yanyin Canon 2. Idk if you have ever heard of them tho
@@lokrj Yap, i checked it out on the website, i just put a disclaimer because I've never owned a pair to have proper experience to comment too much.
What I saw from the website is that it has a relative short sound tube, and the default eartips /Type E (Regular) both have narrow opening, that's why I'd recommend trying eartips with wider opening and shorter sound tube.
@@catadegen thanks for the advice!
