It would be nice to hear about differences in isolation between tips. Also, some idea of relative size would be super helpful. Maybe pick one common tip as a baseline and list others as running larger, smaller, or around the same size as that one. For a given size, obviously. I don't know if it's a ranking thing, but how they're sold is always important. I am much more interested in buy a pack of multiple sizes than a single size since there isn't really a way to know what size to get until you've already bought a pack of the wrong size, not to mention that often to get just the right fit I use slightly different sizes in each ear. The xelastecs are great for that, since they sell a lot of sizes in different packs.
As someone who tip rolls very often, I am glad you are planning to do a tier list. Some recommendations: NF Audio MS42, Radius Deep Mount, 7hz white cylindrical eartips that comes with the timeless, BGVP W01, Tanchjim T300T, and Softears UC, as well as the many already popular tips loved by the community, like the spinfits, final E tips, azla sedna tips, and jvc dots, etc. My personal favorites are the MS42, Easytips SS20, Infiter Variety Dot Pro, E-Pro ep01 and the Dunu S&S tips.
Have you tried various sizes of the Softears UC? I bought the Large some time ago and haven't found an earphone where they get me even a minimum sealing, maybe this has happened to you and you tried a smaller or bigger size and worked perfecto, idk if the medium size will work better for me or is it something about the material and softness.
Yes Timmy, please give us a ear tip ranking list. Love your Galileo set. I’ve had them for over a month and they are still at the top of my rotation. And I have some heavy hitters.
Thanks for continuing to make content on IEM's and other things related to them despite the lack of receiving IEM's. I think it would be awesome to see that eartip tierlist. In addition, I would love to see you update your top 10 videos for best soundtrack/orchestral music and other genres since their are way more IEM's out now that can play those genres well.
@@gyurko i wish i could😭 i currently use L and M size spring tips. both L and it feels like my ear is being violated, or both M and one of them lacks a sufficient seal
bruh i also struggle with this. for sennheiser iems, i really need extra large ear tips or something that allows a deep for my right ear. my left ear could use almost anything that is medium sized. its really frustrating.
Very interesting. But not only should they fit your ears but also the iem nozzle. When trying to find eartips for the Galileo's I had trouble finding a pair that fit the 6mm nozzle without being too tight and at the same time fit my ears. The 4.5mm inner diameter eartips sometimes were too tight around the nozzle and a pair of 5.5mm ones just would not fit my ears. I'm probably making too much of an issue about this but it got to be very important to me when fitting the iem in my ears. The eartips needed to be long enough too because of the Galileo's short nozzle. Another discovery was that my left ear is just a tiny bit wider than my right so it is difficult to have the same comfortable fit for both ears with the same eartips. So I found that the best eartips were those that were soft enough to slide into the ears, creating the best seal and that did not deform when fitted on the iem nozzle. Most of the stock tips are pretty useless. so I am really looking forward to you grading the various tips you can find. It would have been interesting to know if the tips actually also did change the iem frequency response when measured. Take like the Galileo's and measure 10 different responses with 10 different eartips. Is it possible to detect a variation large enough to affect the sound? I am just curious. Great job focusing on eartips though.
Gotta say, I was not expecting the Symbios to get the ranking they did. These have been an absolute blessing for me in comparison to something like SpinFits. I have very odd ear canals due to damage from surgery at a younger age, so getting a good seal is very difficult. I struggle finding tips that do well that aren't foam. I usually use Comply tips, but after finding the Symbios they have been all I use. They have the sound of a silicone with the seal of a foam for me. I don't have to fiddle a ton to reseal them like with silicones, don't need to worry as much about degradation as foams, and the price is perfect for what you get. My biggest gripe with them has been longevity when reusing them on other IEMs. The foam separates from the silicone after removing and reinstalling frequently, so finding your size and buying a 3-pack is pretty much essential. Even with that, these live on all my IEMs at this point.
Wait you didn't even talk about what makes the iReep 01 so different lol. It's shaped completely different from other tips. Instead of the dome being a mushroom top its the complete opposite where the side that connects to the nozzle is actually completely sealed and is actually opened up on the end that enters the ear. The idea is that it'll mimic listening to speakers in a room as the high (and I believe some low end) will bounce back into the crevice of the eartip rather than just direct. It's super comfortable but A:B comparison you can tell you lose some peaks and very minimal but some detail. If you have some fatiguing IEMs I could see these being a nice way to tame them while being comfortable. Have you tried the Spinfit W1? Grabbed them with some Radius Deep Mounts when I was in Japan an the W1 might be my favorite Spinfit. I still like a double flange style but the W1 fit felt much better oddly.
Super important criterai for me would probaby be : sound isolation, how big are the sound changes ?, seal quality, comfort, price, quality(as in if they feel cheap or not and how long they seems to last), how well they stay in your ear(if they're slippery or not). That's about it I guess. Waiting for the list.
The Criteria for Eartip is most importantly are Comfort and Seal. Then it come to little gimmick that Each eartips will offer; Nozzle Lengh, Bore Type (Narrow or Wide), Space inside the Tip itself, Material both inside and outside and how it feel inside our ear (some feel plasticky, smooth or rubberize. There are so many things that I can list but it will be very long. Some may not know that, some Eartip can fix the comfort the default IEM, especially IEM's Nozzle with short like TWS, I have this problem myself on some of iem that nozzle is too small and short.
TRI Clarion is a interesting recent find for me currently, it removes rumble and adds soundstage, really soft and comfortable too. Those brass tips are interesting but don't think I can find it outside of Japan.
My complaint about them is that they are a bit difficult to get. Although it's relatively inexpensive. But single packs with all sizes (SML) are usually out of stock. I really hate it when manufacturers do this to make people to buy more tips just to get all size.
Yes Clarion for me too. aful p5's took on another whole demission with no bass changes, really solid mids/vocals and a whole crapload of increased treble lift/details/technicals. This and the comfort seemed much better than many spinfits and on par with the W1's, dunu's and of course much better than the included aful bunch. No slippage no dirt just pure goodness.
The fact you have a place like that to go to is great. In the States, it's hard to find anything like that anymore. Where I live, the closest thing to a HiFi place to buy anything at is Best Buy. I would have to drive about 2 hours to Atlanta to find a real Hifi store to check out headphones and speakers. We do have a Guitar Center, but that isn't the same.
An eartip ranking list would be cool, maybe I can get a less painful fit with my Etys lol (and also find reccs for my friend, he has really small ear canals lol)
Thank you very much for the Coreir Brass. I bought them and use them on my Sennheiser IE 900 and the FiiO FH9. Immediately Inoticed a huge difference in clarity. Greetings from Holland. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇱🇳🇱👋🏻👋🏻
I've tried many, many eartips over several years and find JVC Spiral Dots and Sony Hybrids work best with my ears. Symbiofit's F tips are foam only and seal very well, far more comfortable than the W tips.
The other benefit of the silicon-covered foam tips is in preventing irritation of the ear canal. Foam tips give a great seal, but I can't stand them due to how abrasive they always are inside my ear. If I wear them for more than a couple of days, it gets irritated and itchy. Tips like the symbio are easier to put in, and don't irritate my ears. And are *almost* as good as the straight foams seal-wise.
I actually like the symbios. You have to warm them up a bit and roll them between your fingers before inserting though. also press them like you'd do with foam tips. When the foam expands you actually get a pretty good seal. They've helped with iems that i can't get to really fit and seal properly. (apart from xelastecs and foam they're the best i have in this department) They don't cut the high frequencys and enhance the lower ones like foams. And yes, longevity is better.
I find that I have to use different eartips for different IEMs. I've kinda settled on JVC Spiral Dots, the Azla Sedna TPE, Spinfit CP100+, and the Spinfit W1. It's a very subjective experience for me, and I have to try different tips with my IEMs to find one that fits and sounds the best for that particular one.
With IEMs, I think we're the rare group that actually will look at different earth's for different IEMs, where most people who listen to regular ol earbuds wouldn't
With the symbio, i like to swap smaller foam into larger size. So use the small tip foam to swap into the medium tips. Gives it some play to conform to my ears more 😬
I didn't see Dekoni tips on the wall! Also this content was literally made for me haha. Its like you purposely made this video so I would watch, good job!
i have been underwhelmed by IEMs for the budget range. Previously i thought stock eartips should be the best, but i was wrong. i never liked Moondrop Chu and i think the Spring eartips is overrated. However, i am glad i followed your advice quite awhile ago to get better seal for any particular IEMs. i used Stock eartips of TRN MT1 on Moondrop Chu and the sound blows my mind. it immediately became my most reached IEM, usually i avoid from using it. Then the Spring eartips seem to give better sound for my other IEMs such as KZ EDX, TRN MT1, QKZ VK4, especially Samsung EO-IG955. All thanks to u. Now i have been shopping around for more eartips from KBear, TRN T-Eartips, OSTRY OS Series and some alternatives to SpinFit.
TRI Clarion (kbear) is currently my favorite tip. fix excessive bass/cleaner, more open sound. Some chifi brands need to find a way to fix their bass... And I think they might have done it.
Criteria suggestions: Softness, Comfort, Durability, Depth of Insertion, Effect on Bass/ Mid/ Treble (positive or negative), Niche uses (i.e. tame a treble-hot IEM)
Kbear07/aet07 is my favorite eartips. Azla Sedna shortlight also should definitely be ranked, not the best all rounder but with the right iem it's just amazing
The problems with many tip brands is that they sell 1 pair of 1 size for 20$. Perhaps you could recommend some products that come with various sizes and a confort that can please most of us. It' can be difficult to purchase the right size without testing.
I think the Video Idea is great , i got a couple of Eartips by myself but there are so many and maybe forgotten good ones. Just used the Elastecs for some time but because I just have a small oval ear canal and that's the reason why they change there form and break up (or overlapping themself on the outerlayer) S & M fits good but L just only fits with something like Z12 no chance to get them into the ear. Would be a good Ranking list if you just compare them to the Stem size of the Iem.
Curiously I've been screwing with tips lately, it started with the shure 846 which has a unique tip that is subject to very limited deformation when used. Tip deformation definitely affects sound. Definitely a rabbit hole /ear canal to head down.
I had a pair of the 2nd ones. the hybrid silicone, and foam pair. They sounded fine, but they hurt my ears, and the worst part about them was that when I pulled them out, the core would come out, but the tip stayed in my ear. I had to use a pair of needle nose plyers to get it out. Tried another pair, and the same thing. So be careful of those tips.
some tips affect the character of the sound as well as the stage and 3D effect, so you can slightly modify the sound signature of the headphones. For this reason, create tier lists as much as possible
For your categories/criteria you should include silicon type, as I've found it's really the main factor as to wether I'm gonna use them for a long time or not. Flex and softness should also be one, as well as length
This channel deserve more subs, they put out helpful videos almost everyday. I 100% trusted Timmy and Dave after "Blindingly Bought" IEMs & DAPs. Hope you guys grow up fast! Thank you so much for your contributes to this community. P/S: sorry for my broken English.
every ear tip is special. every ear tip has its own matching IEM. no ear tips are made equal. without ear tips, you can't listen to your fav IEM no matter how good they are. treat ear tips like your IEMs. respect ear tips, hail ear tips.
I bought a pair of Truthear Hola and really like the eartips they come with. I found a size that feels perfect. Just big enough to lock in and block sound, but not something I would need to cram in there. I also have a pair of Moondrop Chu and while I enjoy the sound, the eartips are not rigid enough to feel as good as the ones with the Hola. So now my Chu have the Hola tips. I like the sound of the Chu better, less dull. I just wish the Jiu wasn't a USBc.
And yeesss, ear tip ranking list 100% I've been wanting to do an ear tip ranking list of the tips I currently have in my collection, at least some of the more well known ones, that aren't just stock tips..
Also, how's the isolation on the CP240? Because if it's only beat by stuff like Etys, I might just get them because that'll really open my options on what IEMs I can purchase, while retaining that isolation that I love on Etys
Since you are the first one to open up the "Ear Tips Ranking" file, you should name it. Giz's Amazing Supreme Eartip Showcase, or something like that ;)
Depending on the IEM, I use either Spinfit CP100s or Dunu S&S. The Dunu tips finally made the Dusk comfortable to me. (I’m sure that it wouldn’t please Dunu to discover that they made my favorite Moondrop IEM better.)
I think he did like a live stream impression Its so hard to find reviews on this channel sometimes lol. Products are broken up into unboxing vids with other IEMs, dedicated reviews, non dedicated reviews, rankings lists where the IEM hasn't even gotten a review yet
@@PantsaBear even worse is the moondrop starfield haha, its featured as a tier in his technicalities list but it only has a short feature in a moondrop product lineup video 😭 Might dig through the lives and see if I can find it then
Where do you even buy the metal tips dude? Just searched it up and it seems like something you'd just stumble on in a corner of a thrift store that happened to have them in stock. They're not in stock or purchasable anywhere
Luckily my favorites are cheapies or semi free tips included with various sets. The Grey tips with the 1/2 red cores included with Fiio and Jade Audio sets are #1. Then there’s the Grey and red NiceHCK for $1 a set from Ali Express. Those 2 work on 100% of my iems. I also have Spinfits CP100 but they aren’t an improvement over the ones I mentioned. So that works in my favor. I’m not spending $600 per month on eartips like some people.
i remember bying these i was like damn are these pricey but they go well with my fokus mystique by noble, i couldnt finda demo unit at the tokyo e-earphone for the velvets for soem reason
I’m more concerned for a detachable small piece of something that goes in my ear being made of metal. Maybe this concern is unfounded, but I have had iem tips come apart in my ears before and had to fish them out blindly myself
Timmy could you graph Ie200 with CP240 since you have one. To my ear it gave monstrous bass rumble and slam while sacrificing micro nuance and some details, which might be liking to bass heads but certainly not me. I'm curious to see the graph data to spot the difference. And wishing you a speedy recovery.
In my opinion AFAIK, there is no "best" eartips. Given there's many reviewer put AET08 on "S" Tier list, which in my opinion is mediocre. I personally believe every single IEM has different "best" eartips.
My favorites are Spinfit cp360 and W1, Springtips, and finally Dunu S&S. I tried Softears UC and while the fit it good it seems to suck out a noticeable amount of bass and lower mids. I would love to hear your opinion on eartip sound, because to me each one has it's own subtle "signature" that it applies to the IEM beyond just fit and seal.
yes give eartip ranking list
YES PLEASEEEE
Any guesses as to which tier azla tips would be at?

As someone who tip rolls very often, I am glad you are planning to do a tier list.

Recommend the best sounding one to me right now please, give me your S+ tier
Have you tried various sizes of the Softears UC? I bought the Large some time ago and haven't found an earphone where they get me even a minimum sealing, maybe this has happened to you and you tried a smaller or bigger size and worked perfecto, idk if the medium size will work better for me or is it something about the material and softness.
@@nerdynumen it’s subjective it’s like asking for a the best shoe
Most value tips u recomend? Bang per buck wise
Nice choices. Can personally vouch for Radius Deep Mount. Stunning clarity, but not recommended for IEMs that are already bright.
Currently using spinfits CP500, truly can't go wrong with spinfits, they're solid eartips
Spinfit truly makes some of the best in the business
I love them but it doesn’t matter what size I use they all make my IEMs slide out of my ear
There's truly no going back after spinfits

thats why im on Large soft foams work for both of my ears even tho one is larger.
Mine are also not the same size. Depending on the tip brand however I can manage to use both M sizes quite well

One criteria I would be interested in would be comfort falloff after 30mins of tame-moderate volume listening
Best eartips for Metal music.
Comfort, Isolation, Frequency Response (sound performance), longevity - that is it.

Ranking list please! 😁 Great to see this content as I'm about to visit Japan, so I'll know what to buy! 😄
Main criteria should be: isolation/seal (but this could be size dependent), comfort, and durability. Secondary could be +/- treble and +/- bass
some tips affect the character of the sound as well as the stage and 3D effect, so you can slightly modify the sound signature of the headphones. For this reason, create tier lists as much as possible
For your categories/criteria you should include silicon type, as I've found it's really the main factor as to wether I'm gonna use them for a long time or not. Flex and softness should also be one, as well as length
This channel deserve more subs, they put out helpful videos almost everyday. I 100% trusted Timmy and Dave after "Blindingly Bought" IEMs & DAPs. Hope you guys grow up fast! Thank you so much for your contributes to this community.
P/S: sorry for my broken English.
please do a noise comparison best like in dennsya,
i usually listen to my iem on my commute so i'd like that.
I'm genuinely shocked what a difference these made. What the fuck.
every ear tip is special. every ear tip has its own matching IEM. no ear tips are made equal. without ear tips, you can't listen to your fav IEM no matter how good they are. treat ear tips like your IEMs. respect ear tips, hail ear tips.
You can listen to IEMs without eartips though. If it's CIEM
@@Gizaudio dude... come on.
@@barbasour lol
@@Gizaudio love you long time bro. since head-fi and fb time. see you in Japan soon
I bought a pair of Truthear Hola and really like the eartips they come with. I found a size that feels perfect. Just big enough to lock in and block sound, but not something I would need to cram in there. I also have a pair of Moondrop Chu and while I enjoy the sound, the eartips are not rigid enough to feel as good as the ones with the Hola. So now my Chu have the Hola tips. I like the sound of the Chu better, less dull. I just wish the Jiu wasn't a USBc.
Just in time I was looking for new eartips. time to retire my moondrop eartip. I will definitely love eartip ranking.
And yeesss, ear tip ranking list 100%
I've been wanting to do an ear tip ranking list of the tips I currently have in my collection, at least some of the more well known ones, that aren't just stock tips..
SpinFit Cp145 are by far my favourites.
Fiio HS18 are cheap and comfortable.
eartips ranking very important
Stiffness, isolation, sense of space, details, tonality.
We need a full comparison how different tips change the sound. On a frequency graphs of course!
Dunu candy tips, dunu s&s tips, azlastic tips, dekoni foams. All pretty good. I wanna try that brass tip now 😮
Isolation/Seal
Comfort
Sound
- Bass
- Treble
Oh SHIT ITS YOU TIM😂
Cp240 is my favorite tips of all time.
Also, how's the isolation on the CP240? Because if it's only beat by stuff like Etys, I might just get them because that'll really open my options on what IEMs I can purchase, while retaining that isolation that I love on Etys
silicon was yesterday, today latex is the king, you need to try Feaulle H570 - fantastic set
A bit wild how you can get great IEMs nowadays for the price of some IEM accessories.
Damn, wish I could get those brass ones!
Timmy sounds jacked up 😂
Since you are the first one to open up the "Ear Tips Ranking" file, you should name it. Giz's Amazing Supreme Eartip Showcase, or something like that ;)
Save for the durability, foam tips any day for me
Japan’s got some of the nicest eartip selection. You should try Radius Deepmount tips! The clear ones are great.
They’re all way over priced though.
Depending on the IEM, I use either Spinfit CP100s or Dunu S&S. The Dunu tips finally made the Dusk comfortable to me. (I’m sure that it wouldn’t please Dunu to discover that they made my favorite Moondrop IEM better.)
seems like i have to check out the Dunu S&S tips. they look interesting
@@krayozmines Everyone’s ears are different, but they work very well with my ears. I use them on the Kato and the Dusk, as well as my Dunu IEMs.
did timmy ever review the orchestra lite? i didnt see it listed in the iem ranking document, either
I'd love a review of these too.
I think he did like a live stream impression
Its so hard to find reviews on this channel sometimes lol. Products are broken up into unboxing vids with other IEMs, dedicated reviews, non dedicated reviews, rankings lists where the IEM hasn't even gotten a review yet
@@PantsaBear even worse is the moondrop starfield haha, its featured as a tier in his technicalities list but it only has a short feature in a moondrop product lineup video 😭
Might dig through the lives and see if I can find it then
the Spinfit W1 have been the ones I am loving on my Ikko OH7 .....
Where do you even buy the metal tips dude? Just searched it up and it seems like something you'd just stumble on in a corner of a thrift store that happened to have them in stock. They're not in stock or purchasable anywhere
Criteria for me: comfort, noise isolation, sound quality, durability, fit, compatibility, value
My favorite.. , spinfit, jvc spiral dots++ and softears UC
Luckily my favorites are cheapies or semi free tips included with various sets. The Grey tips with the 1/2 red cores included with Fiio and Jade Audio sets are #1. Then there’s the Grey and red NiceHCK for $1 a set from Ali Express. Those 2 work on 100% of my iems. I also have Spinfits CP100 but they aren’t an improvement over the ones I mentioned. So that works in my favor. I’m not spending $600 per month on eartips like some people.
I thought Dave was the one covering eartips for gizaudio 😂
I have been wanting those Pentaconn tips since I saw them like 6 months ago...ugh gimme!
Eartip ranking would be interesting and unique content.
I want that eartip ranking list fasho bro!
i remember bying these i was like damn are these pricey but they go well with my fokus mystique by noble, i couldnt finda demo unit at the tokyo e-earphone for the velvets for soem reason
I’m more concerned for a detachable small piece of something that goes in my ear being made of metal. Maybe this concern is unfounded, but I have had iem tips come apart in my ears before and had to fish them out blindly myself
Didn’t know you did audio content. Knew you from fragrances. 👍🏻
Timmy could you graph Ie200 with CP240 since you have one. To my ear it gave monstrous bass rumble and slam while sacrificing micro nuance and some details, which might be liking to bass heads but certainly not me. I'm curious to see the graph data to spot the difference. And wishing you a speedy recovery.
Yes.. please Timmy.. An Ear tips ranking list ☺️😁
I was about to buy mandarins 5 min ago, thank you😂
For the ranking-- ability to side sleep. Any pressure going on, etc
If it's not on a list, it doesn't exist..! ✊
Spinfit W1, CP500 and CP145. Azla Xelastec.
Currently using Final Audio Type E eartips for my Timeless.
Maybe the way you could rank eartips is by use case.
I guess its time for neich tuned IEM TIMMY.
Ranking list would be great! Is there anything cheap on the market that can measure canal size?
just the tip baby
Anyone aware of a North American source for the Coreir Brass eartips?
Yes please do an eartip ranking list
and why exactly are the coreir “fantastic”? what is it that made them “fantastic”? was hoping for a bit more from you, mr crinacle.
In my opinion AFAIK, there is no "best" eartips. Given there's many reviewer put AET08 on "S" Tier list, which in my opinion is mediocre. I personally believe every single IEM has different "best" eartips.
Yes to the eartip ranking list.
My favorites are Spinfit cp360 and W1, Springtips, and finally Dunu S&S. I tried Softears UC and while the fit it good it seems to suck out a noticeable amount of bass and lower mids. I would love to hear your opinion on eartip sound, because to me each one has it's own subtle "signature" that it applies to the IEM beyond just fit and seal.
Hi, when are you going to review the Nostalgia Audio Camelot?
