Jakester Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Does anyone have any recommendation for IEM tips? I have a set of Etymotic ER6’s that work fine as IEMs and have done for years. However, the other day I caught the wire on something as I moved and it yanked the left earphone out of my ear but left the tip in my ear canal - quite worrying at the time, but sorted with some tweezers. Since then it’s happened again, this time when I just removed the earphone as normal, which has never happened before, so I think the force of the initial event may have damaged/distorted the tip. The drivers themselves are fine, but does anyone have any tip recommendations? I need a good isolation seal as I use them with drums, so foam tips tend to be out. I also have large ear holes, as I found when buying earplugs for sleeping and the largest size nearly disappeared without trace into my lugholes!!

bazzbass Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 super glue the tip to the rest of the earpiece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Part 1. I had a set of molded earplugs made a few years ago but even with a low attenuation filter I found the exclusion too much and stopped using them. Part 2. For IEMs I have a set of the KZ S10s but never found any tips that worked well. Earlier this year I had a bit of a light bulb moment and joined those two dots - I stuck the KZs into the molded earplug with clear silicone mastic - it fitted nicely into the hole where the filter slotted in. Worked a treat - makes the KZs sound even better and I get absolutely nil bleed from outside noise.
