Wonder why you guys get the ortofon tips instead of using the stock tips. To me the stock tips work pretty well. Any sound enhancement w/ the ortofons?

Ortofon tips have a softer texture therefore imo better comfort. The stock tips are stiffer, which will slip off your ear after a long period of usage due to sweat and heat.

Do try it if u have the chance. It is really comfortable.:)

Hmm okay. I don't feel the stock one is stiff or uncomfortable at all, probably just me :) And IEMs usually don't make my ear sweat or hot, it's those full sized cans do that.

cos for my ears, maybe the stock tips are a bit flabby kind, when I insert it into my ears, I cant get good isolation..i prefer something like shure olives actually, it can stay in my ears and have good isolation too..do we have any similar kind of eartips for fitear 334?

May want to check out the specification..........

There are rubber, foam and silicon for ear tips

It does not enchance the music directly but it sure enchance the comfort while wearing it

Okay, so the stock ones are rubber (or rubber like) material? They sure look the same as those from Sony IEMs I had before, very soft rubber like which I kinda like. I feel those from K3003 are a bit too hard and not as soft.

just found 1 good and cheap tips for TG334... meelectronic dual flange tips... abit harder then the default fitear dual flange but still super comfortable ... there is a pocket of air between the top flange and 2nd flange thus the sound isolation is superb... i find the fitear dual flange abit too soft until can feel the itchiness when listening...:(


Meelectronic dual flange


previously using this and the comply foam tear apart after much intercourse with my ear canal...


comply foam + soundmagic dual flange (much softer then TG 334 dual flange)

different tips does affect the SQ.... foam will absorb the bass... for TG334 the sound signature using single flange and dual flange is holy double freaking different.

TG334 using single flange the iem is closer to the ear canal... the soundstage not as spacious... bass is boosted .. mid is more engaging.. but the high is mess up laioz.....

TG334 using dual flange the drivers are further away from ear canal.. everything sound just right....

Above are my humble experiences with TG334..

so far i have tonnes for shure westone iem.... those holes are for thin bore..i am also sourcing for the meelectronic one.. but got to note not many ppl like dual flange.. if u like single flange can try the below also.. for me silicon + foam is the best of both world (foam with ear wax is u need to throw away.. but if use with silicon u can take out the foam and wash the silicon tips with soappy water) but the meelectronics tips isolation is tip top without the foam..:D
