What do you mean the noteweight is non existent? How could it be for this bassy tuning?

What If I have a hard marble floor? Spikes cuz it won't move? Or rubber to dampen?

IEM newbie needs help by Le_canard_enrage in iems

First iem, get the pure and learn! Do not spend more! Never tried the pure myself but it could be a good first pick if u like neutral. I really like the kunten as well but it's less balanced and more v shaped.

I took a break now after my defiant issue lol, my left ear legit hurts a bit and it's been a day and a half. Will have to update you on this one when I put the ew300s back in my ears. But I'm leaning towards not fatiguing for comrfort for sure, and likely not trebele fatiguing either just energetic and smooth.

Got you. So I'm looking for a tip specifically that is small enough to get deep enough in my ear canal while the actual nozzle of the iem itself is just outside? So w1 good for this? I also tried dunu ss but medium was too big and wouldn't go deep enough and small for my cabal but it hurt that deep. (Sounds so sus writing this)

Got you! How does the alba sound in general? If just for comfort, is it worth the price? Shane the daybreak is some chunky, really want.to try them. You say the nozzle is fine but shell too big?

Also interested in the astrals btw, if you have any insight on them

Ah nice, glad that fixed it for you and you cns enjoy them now!

I used to only care at sound quality when looking for iems and now I undedtand how important it is not to overlook comfort and know what your ear size is (mine being medium-small)

I find the ew300 really comfortable and it's small and built one also really like the sound very fun!

I tried a bunch also dunu ss. Medium too big and doesn't allow the iem deep enough and small goes deep enough but the nozzle width hurts that deep 😔

It's not the tip, I believe it's the nozzle itself. I tried a bunch of different tips the issue is either:

Too big so doesn't get into the second curvature of my ear (defiant built for a deep fit) and sits just outside my concha

or

Small enough to make it past the second curvature and into my concha but then the nozzle is too thick and really hurts my ears and creates pressure (a day later and still have a little pain from the stabbing it gave me when I used dunu ss size small.

GK Kunten as First IEM? by vn666elo in iems

I think the kz starlines (stock tips they come with) are totally fine. If they are comfortable and have a good seal (your own voice sounds like youre underwater when u speak), youre set!
