Any idea how old that is? Last 6 weeks?
Sorry to interupt as you are talking to someone else
Been testing the Scarlets more and man, they are ridiculous. In both good and bad ways. Mostly because they are one of the more ridiculously tip dependant IEMs Iâve ever tested. And even with some tips even the placement of the fit matters.
Default silicon one that they come with actually arenât too bad. Big subbass. Big midbass. Slightly veiled mids and nice highs. The highs on these are actually a lot more detailed and smooth than I expected.
Now the Tri Clarion tips that come with the whole package I have no idea why theyâre included at all. Pretty much sucks out the bass and not in a good way. I feel like these are the tips you use if you hate these earphones.
JVC spiral dots are actually hilarious with these. They are so ridiculously bassy with these. Itâs like Iâm cramming a car subwoofer into my ears, and itâs the scarlets weâre talking about here. Itâs really fun honestly but not something I would recommend as a daily driver. 
Now this reaches to what I will describe as the bass monster to hifi scale. If spiral dots is on the bass monster end, the default tips would be next, and then the next one are the Spinfit Omnis. Insane rumble on these, but the mids are a more pulled out and the highs are even better while still having the bass kick like a mule. Seriously, songs like these leave me feeling assaulted in the best ways possible.
Than after the Omnis it would be the Dunu S&S. Problem for me is that the fit for these are fiddly, and not in the way that they donât fit well, itâs more that the level of bass depends entirely on how deep they fit. If you want the rumble, you need to do a shallow fit with these, as the deeper you push in the less the bass impact is. Honestly that the strangest observations I have with these. The deeper a tip fits the less bass there is. Really weird.
Than finally comes the eletech baroques. These were actually my favourites, because it was able to keep the rumble with that more, for a lack of a better term, hifi sound. The problem is that these have an even smaller sweet spot than the S&S. Like seriously, I would think that the scarlets were broken, adjust the fit a bit, and get back to that sweet spot. Itâs a shame but itâs just too fiddly for me to use daily.
tldr: Spinfit Omni and Dunu S&S offer the best balance in terms of improving the sound while still keeping that insane bass kick. Eletech baroques provides the most hifi sound but are super fiddly. Defaults are fine. The spiral dots makes these sound hilarious.
Also I have to say for what they are the headroom isnât bad at all. If anything it feels like it has about as much headroom as my Hype 2s. I was listening to this track and the beginning sounded so distant I initially though I disconnect my earphones and the sound is coming through my phone speakers lol
