I experienced inner ear pressure with the Aful MagicOne since these are non-vented IEMs. The pressure imbalance between my inner ears and the surround air pressure was annoying. I installed the Tang Sancai eartips. I noticed the the inner ear pressure is equalized due to the rough texture of the eartips umbrellas. Others have reported the same experience with the MagicOne and with the Orchestra Lite.
For me it's mostly the opposite: I benefit from SS tips. But because I know ears are so different, I usually at least mention the available sizes and whether some are missing.
Ugh, this is a super subjective question as people tend to have different preferences and ears... Personally, I'd say the Spinfit Omni really do a great job for me, but my ear canal is rather small and thereby shorter tips generally tend to work better for me.
@@don_spektor I got a pair of xelastic after seeing your review and noticing you tend to go for very small tips. I don't know the true reality of my ears, other than I know they are definitely smaller than average. I don't know if it's because of sebum or wax, but almost every pair of tips pushes out of my canals. Only the super sticky texture of the xelastic has been able to stay in my ear. unfortunately for bigger nozzles they tend to cause some pain and discomfort with deep insertions but even when sitting just outside the ear canal they seal really well. Previously I'd tried the Dunu S&S tips from reviewers saying if you had any problems with sealing, you should try them. I liked those tips and due to the shape they performed better but, still eventually slide out. The xelastic not only sound better than all standard silicones and the S&S in my opinion but the fit is supreme on my PA02. I'm worried my ears will destroy the tips a bit faster than normal, since I think only this supreme tackiness is what allows them to seal so perfectly. Do you think the Omnis would be a more economical option to try out once these two pairs are worn down, or to try the xelastic 2 or just yeah, continue buying xelastic pairs even though they are quite a bit more expensive.
Hope they work for you :-) Unfortunately, they do not work for me :( I have tried them on basically all IEMs, including TWS, I have but I can't get them to fit well enough... I'll probably will still make a video about the wide bore version, but first on the list are the Velvet and the Sedna Max tips.
Wait what? When xD? I'll record the wide bore review today or tomorrow the other ones came out of nowhere. Need to get my hands on them too, absolutely^^
I don't like these too much on the Monarch MkIII; like almost all medium/narrow-bore tips, they seem to present an exaggerated upper midrange that makes male vocals, distorted electric guitars, etc. metallic/shrill sounding to my ears. They also compress/crush/make splashy? the cymbals, and hardened the attack of drumsticks on the rim of drums in Georgia Peach by Acoustic Alchemy, my test track of choice for this.
Compared to smaller bore tips this definitively is true. However, keep in mind insertion depth also matters and their medium-tips generally do worse than smaller bore or wider bore tips which can also play a role in the perception.
@@don_spektor Sure thing, everything I said is just based on my ears -- I remember you having problems with Spring tips, but I have none whatsoever (: It really does depend on our individual ears
I absolutely love the fact that we get a frequency response graph of tips. I got an S12 Pro, and it took me months to tame the treble. It was because of these videos, showing the frequency response of tips, that I got some Final Type E tips and saved me from buyers remorse.
Very similar experience on OG 7Hz Timeless - its the eartips and cables that make of break these planar sets. It took a lot of trial and error to find the ones that suited the combination of my ears and the sound I wanted - I have settled on the Tanchjim T-APB wide bore type, with 2nd preference towards the Dunu S&S. @catmeow1111 I understand the experience!
Das Deutsch welches sich heraus hören lässt ist extrem😆. Dennoch geiles Video. Suche schon lange Ersatz für die zu harten Schaumstoff Tips von meinen IEM's.
