I get the same feeling when using stock bass vs wide tips. they say wide bore should have wider stage but I feel the opposite!
maybe the reason is that I feel the vocals are more focused on bass tips and I can imagine instruments better separated.

Iāll give the double-mesh mod a chance today, with spring tips. The tips tend to tame the low end, so it could keep the signature as neutral as I like while taming the upper-mids.

Has anyone graphed tanchjim oxygen / hana filters on Olina? These appear available on AE

After having casually listened to the modded Olina, I think I like them ā¦ IF I put spring tips on it, to tame the bass that is way overdone for me otherwise.
Looking at the graph, I think the Tanya filter mod should be the way to go, but I have other things to spend my money on than a set of iem that I wonāt listen to.

You could always see if someone could mail you a spare pair or two of Tanya filters; wouldnāt cost more than a postage stamp, I imagine.

yes, but is it worth it? I quite like the stock Olina Already; the double filter mod was done out of curiosity than necessity anyway.
Thanks!
I like the double filter mod but feel the bass is a little bloated. Iāve ordered the Tanya so look forward to trying with that filter. Iāve also ordered CP100 tips and a new cable, NiceHCK C24-2, as I find the C16 and C24 exceptionally comfortable, no moulded ear hoops! The C24-2 should looks great with Olina

I canāt say if itās worth it or not, as like yourself, Iām one if the few that prefers the stock sound. Although a filter mod is cheap, easy and reversible so I donāt see hiw it could hurt if youāre really curious; Iām content to just tip-roll.

thatās exactly that: I am already in the iem rabbit hole and really deep in the tip rolling one, I donāt want to fall in the modding rabbit hole too

I know that urge well; aside from trying the double-filter mod on the Olina, I have stayed far away from modding anything for that very reason. I donāt think about what Iāve spent on tips, Iām too far gone already.

Sorry for the mega noob question. But where do I find out about the mods for the Olina? Like material and steps? Is it mostly just sticking on another filter?
Thanks in advance 
This is the most popular.

no needs to change filters, just let it dry, this is only water from condensation
Not going to lie, this one is also an option to consider and wouldnāt mind buying the Tanyas as well. But the fact that I wonāt be using the Tanyas if I hypothetically went for the Olinas, is still a waste of money to me, for I want to use the item that I bought as much as I can, meaning it would make sense if I want to use the Tanyas, but never had the plan to.
Also the fact that you have to mod it to make it sound better can be a bit of a turn off to some, I donāt mind modding IEMs, but the fact that itās not like that outside of the box is a bit alarming to me, maybe that is just me nitpicking but I am not saying the Olinas are bad, for there are some out there would use it and love it without any mods.
So yeah, had to settle with the Seek Real Airships since apparently they are an improved version of these and I got to thank the guy who suggested this to me on the IEM discussion thread, and I cannot wait for it try it in my ears once it arrives.

Post man was my friend today and delivered me the Tanya, CP100ās and a NiceHCK C24-2 cable. Iāve removed the dual filters and fitted the Tanya filter along with the CP100 tips and the NiceHCK cable. Iām liking what I hear, compared to the dual filters I find the bass slightly reduced but more controlled. Sound is generally cleaner and Sound stage is slightly wider. Listening to ordinary man by ozzy osbourne feels like Iām in the studio. Very pleasing.
As far as the CP100ās and the NiceHCK, these are both far more comfortable than stock although no change in sound to me, as I expected.

I have tried to mod my tanchjim echo by adding an olina tape on top of the original filter.
The aim for me is to make a darker and warmer set out of this tws, as I use it for sports.
I must admit I donāt hear much of a difference, sadly. But I switched to cp145 tips (from final e), that should make for a more comfortable set.
