this is the same right?
Yeah it is.
yikes…
25 bucks, at this point its definitely better to buy the E1000
Indeed, or the E500.
That’s what I did, over here the E1000 is actually cheaper than the tips .
@Rikudou_Goku Got the X6 in today, haven’t had much time to test them but they sound pretty good. What foams do you use, with or without holes?
I feel that without holes has more bass.
I use the full foams, not the donut foams.
The more foam you have, the better “seal” you get and therefore more bass.
I bought some Elecoms and Radius tips from Amazon JP based on your recommendation, and after trying them out, I still ended up going back to the Final E tips, lol. No regrets though, I imagine I’ll be glad to have those tips around. (Not sure if this helps, but I bought my Type E tips here, which sells a full set for $15: Final Audio E Series Multi-Pack of Black Silicon Eartips | Bloom Audio, I’m currently using different sizes on my EST 112 and SA6.)
I also have yet to use any foams that I didn’t kinda hate, but I know some people really like them.
I guess it depends on the iem you are using. I do use the Type E most of the time since I am quite treble sensitive. But for some, the Elecoms worked great and the Radius for the stuff thats already very warm/treble tame.
It’s funny, I don’t seem to be especially treble-sensitive as far as I can tell, and the SA6 is a bit chilled out and smooth, so I thought I was going to like the extra treble energy, but on an initial listen, I didn’t like the SA6 quite as much with the Elecoms. I didn’t give it a ton of time though, so I still plan on playing around with the new tips some more, they only arrived like, two days ago.
@Rikudou_Goku Just curious, what kind of source gear are you using to evaluate all these IEM’s? I’m finding that the Legacy 3 IEM’s can have a sharper upper mids/lower treble, but that disappears a bit on different amps.
I use the Ibasso DX160 when I review stuff. But I mainly use the Schiit Asgard 3 when im not reviewing. I prefer the A3 over the DX160 and have considered moving my reviewing source to the A3 but havent because of consistency.
Is that the 2020 version of the type e?
I do not know. I did receive them in 2020 if that helps.
Dont know if that package is from the newer version either…all my type E tips comes from their entire E series lol.
Since I was here in HF talking about it, I spent some more time switching tips around back and forth, but then at some point, I kinda just forgot and enjoyed myself listening to a bunch of songs in a row on the EST 112 w/ Final E tips. I really do love this combination.
Oh, also, my Final E tips were purchased in 2021 and they look basically identical to Resolution’s tips/packaging.
Glad you like the EST112!
From this, it seems that the 2020 version is closer, if not identical to the clear version. If that is the case, then you can expect it to have a little bit more treble than the standard black version.
I think the older version didn’t have the red/pink inner tube, they were all-gray. So this should be the 2020 version.
No, the older version also looks like that. The ones I got from their e series is like that and those are older than 2020.
Ah, then maybe the all-gray version is even older.
For what it’s worth, I meant these:
