It really helps in tip selection. I wanted to point out something about the Nuarl tips, since I recently bought some of the Block Ear+ 6 tips. The number after the “+” sign refers to stem length, not the bore size. The Block Ear+ 6 has a stem length of 6 mm and a bore size of 4 mm.

Hmm, but even the bore size and material feel? Just want to make sure, thank you.

The author says: Nope… They sound different. Different materials

I found there are discrepancies for these 2 entries, since they should be the same model with different colours.

Final Audio Type E (for TWS)
Bore size: wide
Stem length: short
Feel: soft and sturdy
Bass: 3.25
Midrange: 5.00
Treble: 4.75
Soundstage: 4.50
Vocal presence: 5.00

Quite the opposite of regular Final Type E eartips sonic-wise, These tips intensify upper-mids and treble, which unfortunately, introduces sibilance to female vocals and makes cymbals sound tinny. This can be unpleasant especially when used with bright earphones. Staging and ambience are better than regular Type E. Use with caution!

Purchased from Final Audio Official Taobao Store

Final Type E Silicon Eartips for True Wireless (clear)
Bore size: regular
Stem length: short
Feel: soft and pliable
Bass: 3.25
Midrange: 5
Treble: 5
Soundstage: 5
Vocal presence: 4
Overall, similar to Final Type E True Wireless (black) but with slightly less bass.
Purchased from MTMT Audio, Hong Kong

This is an impressive guide and must have taken a long time to put together. Thanks for your work.

I have a question about the Fiio stock tips you have reviewed as I really enjoy them with the FH3 IEM and some other non-Fiio headphones because the large ones fit me very well and provide excellent isolation.

Do you know if they are a third party brand that can be bought separately (shipping to UK)?

I like the red/grey bass ones and the dark grey balanced in large and would like more plus spares. There’s loads on Amazon the look very similar but there’s no way of knowing. I tried various Spinfit, etc but the isolation is always lacking. It’s a matter of the fit for my ears.

Thanks

I only wonder how you rate the eartips that come with Campfire IEMS (short stem). Just to get a baseline for my reference. Is it possible to add these to your list?
