Lets talk about your tips! ;)

Ha ha. I usually don’t have issue with too much bass. Too much treble on the other hand… That’s another story.

Lol we shall see, if you use those on some run the jewels with the blon or the urbanfun I bet they will freak you out. It’s clean, but …too much for my blood lol. Doubly so for the OH10…when I want to scare someone I’ll prob have them pair up OH10s and the exlax tips and watch them crap themselves LMAO

I just received L & M Spinfit double flange tips for the Urbanfun and Blon BL-03 since their stems are so short. I haven’t been able to use double flanges effectively yet but thought I’d try the Spinfits since their silicone is so soft.

Listening to the Blons right now… WOW!!! They feel like they’re touching my brain. lol!

Still haven’t received the XELASTEC tips yet. :frowning:

I’ll get some photos soon.

EDIT: I’ve got to re-think everything. The Blon sounds amazing with these!!!

I technically need a medium and small, but $40 in my Amazon cart for tips alone just didn’t sit right with me. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve passed 150 euros in eartips already in the last six months. :euro::euro::euro::euro::euro:

A 26 dollar IEM is blowing my mind right now! Thank you BGGAR!

I’ll repeat that… A 26 dollar IEM is blowing my mind right now!

XELASTEC tips & Blon BL-03 FTW. The Spinfit double flange did the trick too but it goes in quite far into my ear. I’m getting an amazing seal with the XELASTEC tips yet they don’t go deep into my ear. I think they even sound better.

Got the Xelastec tips today and they sound good on the Tin T2 and P1. They actually seal in my right ear (a small miracle for a silicon tip) and since they are real grippy they don’t fall out. I will try out my other IEMs tomorrow as my new Grado Hemp LTD are taking up most of my time right now.

I just put in another order.

If you’re an IEM lover, you owe it to yourself to get the following…

I dont disagree, blon is not bad.

SMP iFit for your pleasure… LOL. So 2 sizes cost a lot, but man these are an improved spiral for sure in comfort. These are the most comfortable tips ever due to how soft they are, even better than the Xelastec in that regard. No issues with sound yet either. Will listen more and do a few direct comparisons.

So now that I’ve listened to pretty much only my Grado Hemps for 3 weeks, I have finally managed to pull myself away long enough to listen to those Xelastec tips a bit more properly. So far I’ve only been using my Tin P1 and the only change I’ve noticed is in the highs. I haven’t quite pinned it down yet, but these tips either make the treble brighter, sharper, or grainy. Maybe some combination of those. It’s not bad per say, but I’m not sure I like it. I’ll need to listen more to pin down exactly what it is I’m hearing (Oh, woe is me. I must listen to my third favorite headphone more. Lol :joy:).

I noticed that depending on tips used that the P1 was listenable due to treble. Very metallic for my taste. I’m very sensitive to that based on what I’ve learned LOL

So I’ve given the Xelastec tips a listen on both my Tin P1 and T2 and I have figured out what it is they do to the treble. On the P1 it makes it a bit sharper and too grainy for my taste. It’s not necessarily brighter or more elevated, just less pleasant. The T2 was better. All these tips do to the T2 was make the treble a touch brighter and maybe a bit more detailed. It’s was a little to much for certain vocals that are sibilant but for string instruments I like these more than the Symbio F tips that I use.

So in conclusion, the P1 need a good foam to make the highs sound right, but boy do I like how they sound when they sound right. The T2 I overall prefer with the Symbio F, but the Xelastec have their place if you love strings.

I would comment in the T4 are Shuoer Tape, but I just don’t seem to ever like them. I’ve tried a variety of tips and genres of music, but I always seem to find something about them I just can’t stand (thanks Harman).

Maybe they are better for a neutral IEM, or one that is slightly dark. Works great for the EX800st. The extra seal help with punch for the driver too. Good to know about the tin ones tho :slight_smile:

I’ve found that I prefer other tips for most of my IEMs compared to the Xelastec tips, but they can work wonders on an IEM that may be lacking in certain areas like the Blon. They really are like magic for the Blon.

Bingo! Couldn’t agree more.

I’m a little disappointed because these are the first time I’ve ever gotten a silicon tip to make a seal in my right ear and be comfortable, but they tweek the sound of my only two usable IEMs too much for my liking. Maybe in the future I’ll get something that they work on.
