Budget IEM (Chit Chat)

[SkyScraper]

I also bought Dunu SS and Divinus Velvet as well but sadly, Dunu SS doesn't fit. The velvet, somewhat fits but not perfect.

idk is it the tip or my ears reject dunu SS. My left ear was okay and right ear was in pain for a week already. i resting and only use my headphone and now trying velvet.

Dunu have a very specific shape, so it might not be for everyone...

TRI Clarion is not bad... goes in and out of the ear very easily, and it is cheap.

Sometimes, when it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.

I tried the HE Sonic as well, gave me headache.

I used for my retired Sony XM4, but when used on iem now, doesn't fit as good.

TRN T-Ear Tips
Bore size: regular
Stem length: very short
Feel: soft and pliable

Bass: 3.75
Midrange: 4.50
Treble: 4.50
Soundstage: 4.75
Vocal presence: 5.00

These onion-shaped eartips fit smaller and shorter than, say, SpinFit. Overall tonality is upper-midrange and treble emphasis, with a hint of boosted bass. Vocal presence is good but forward and sibilant, so be careful when pairing with bright-sounding IEMs. Soundstage is spacious with good depth and height.

Review sample from TRN.

I remember this site really review a lot of ear tips.

just to add on, iem reddit say this is medical grade sillicon. i just collect from the self pick up. this tip not bad

I used to have that... until.. dunno simi taiji the stereo become not stereo.. until very bad sounding best part is... it is a lot more expensive than half of the IEM I own... while sounding worse... and no detachable cable etc...

Yeah the only con is it is shorter than most ear tips... other than that it is pretty good for the price.

i tried to A-B the. dsf with a 320k version I have; it seems the encoding volume normalization is different, the 320kpbs sounds louder but feels more "all clumped together" but the .dsf version needs more volume but feels like the separations are clearer; maybe if a listener has been listening to a really crappy version then the high quality one, then the difference will be heaven and earth

my humble opinion is that there is surely a difference, but it might take a really discerning ear to pick out the differences and depends on whether the listener just want a casual listening experience or a more clinical analytical experience
maybe I need those showroom 10k above speakers and player with more well starred DSDs to get to the next audio nirvana stage

but in the spirit of this thread, regardless of budget or expensive gears, most important maybe is just to enjoy music!

I also bought quite a bit of ear tips to get that perfect fit.

just go CIEMs
but the fabrication can also be a bit hit and miss in my own experience

my 1st AAW pair quite a good fit, almost 0 fatigue can wear very long hours.

2nd AAW used back the same ear impressions but the fit was abit loose (worst is this model happen to be more balanced so end up losing the low ends)

3rd one I not sure if the model by default is big end up can't wear for too long periods

Yea, DSD files are usually softer in volume compared to the rest.

To be honest, 320 is more than enough for casual listening. But then, I spent quite a bit on my setup already, need better source to bring out the full potential.

I did thought of that actually, but so far, I am satisfied with the Lepic tips.

the issue I had with tips rolling is, the same tip that fits on this IEM, can't get the same fit with another, so I took the plunge to go CIEMs
