Anyone interested to try the spiral tips? I can let go 1 pair only. $16 include postage or self collect my place only. Large size.

Just managed to lay my hands on a pair of the spiral tips.

First impression is bass has become less tight, treble taken a notch down.
Overall signature becomes slightly darker.

Not sure if I like it at this point. Have to listen more before I can decide to keep or revert back to Ortofon ones.

Anyone knows why fitear decided to change the original full acrylic shell into one with plastic faceplates

Doesn't look as aesthetic anymore sadly :(

I got no issues with fit and seal.
Stuffing comply is a big no no, as this compromises comfort.

Still need to listen more, as I personally feel with Ortofon tips, TG334 has more air and space, with a lighter tonality.

It looks lumpy and uncomfortable to me.

Personally, the point of using comply foam is so that the foam rises to shape of you inner ear after being squeezed.
With the outer layer of silicone beneath the comply foam, the foam cannot properly fill the inside of the ear, hence, it'll cause discomfort for some, though naturally isolation is improved.

is machiam like the sony hybrid tips with and without the inner foam. for me the non-foam seals easily as it's flexible. foam version is stiffer and i could never get it to seal since the shape is always more rigid (pushed/blocked outwards by the foam). this modded version with comply may or may not seal better for different pple also.

Lol never pour water la just commenting... It's a fact that not every config will suit everyone. Things like "improvement", "bring to next level" all these are still subjective after all. :)
