Anyone got foam tip recs that aren’t Comply?

776

INAIRS but they are European so not sure about prices outside

Also using INAIRS - rec because they are comfy, seals well, and they are short enough as to not overdampen the sound :slight_smile:

I’ll check out INAIRS. I’m looking for super short tips (~6-7mm). I chopp e my complys to that depth and so far they are my favorite. Would prefer something with a bit more longevity and not require me to cut every time

779

I’m not sure about the depth, but they are a bit shorter than my complys. I use them for both my Olina, T2 and T3+. The Olina and T3+ benefits greatly from INAIRS over Complys.

Made a discovery today: BGVP makes various knock-offs of well-known eartips! They are super cheap on AliX

  • BGVP W01 (top left in image) is very similar to AZLA SednaEarFitLight (top right) in bore width at the top (closer to ear drum) but much shorter stem and smaller bore width at the base
  • BGVP E01 (bottom left) is nearly identical to Final Audio Type E eartips (bottom right). I mean, it’s even called E…lol.
  • BGVP A07 and A08 and nearly identical to kbear07 and kbear08, as well as Accoustone AET07 and A08.
  • I’m not sure what the Y01 are copying, but the bore width at the tip is similar to Final Type E, but the width at base is much wider, so it fits IEMs with wide nozzles

Great find! I did not know they might have a type E copy, I might pick it up myself to check it.

just an FYI though; the A07/A08 and the Kbear07/08 are both copying acoustune aet07/08.

oh yeah, i had a typo (should be AET07/08). fixed the OP.
Do you have white Final Type E tips? I think they would be near identical to the BGVP E01

783

I do, but they are pretty much identical to the black ones.

Nice. Here’s a photo of E01 (top) vs Y01. Y01 for verryy wide nozzles

I get some sibilance with the Vernus, I’ve found the chubby but narrow E01 has been a good match for it!

haha, nice. Let us know how they are and if they really are a Type E copy.

I tried the bgvp E01 M on my Chu, and I like the result. It replaces the azla crystal that where installed before. I think they aren’t as good as the cp145 S on the set, but that’s a matter of taste.

I tried the L size on my timeless. I usually have fit problems with this set. The rigidity of the E01 tips helps getting a for with a seal. The bass is too boosted for my taste though.

As for it being a final e rip off, given the experience I have with these, I tend to agree. I should conduct more thorough tests to be really sure though.

thanks for sharing. can I ask which tip do you recommend to pair with Olina?
I’d like to improve comfort and reduce the brightness of the set.

793

Probably Final Type E or BGVP E01 (they are very similar). I find them to be comfortable, reduce treble peaks, and tighten bass. They might impact the stage a bit, but probably just a tiny bit smaller. You can also try adding a spare Olina mesh filter on the front vent

Have u tried CP360?
They work well for me on both Chu (better than CP100) and Timeless (better than 07)
