Would love to have a comparison between stock and Spring tips: sizes, comfort, sound change ?

I thought it filters out wind noises ಠ_ಠ

Lol. So this product is just a very expensive resistor?

I was curious too. I bought some impedance adapters from Ali express and the certainly do change Freq response.
I'd be interested for someone to do a proper measurement on the iematch.

I was referring to the first sentence only haha. It is originally made to reduce audible noise floor, controls excessive volume sensitivity, and makes sure that the IEM matches the source impedance, hence the term attenuator. I don't think that this was made with the purpose to tame trable peaks.

It is made for taming treble peaks?

Ya well, Blessing 2 Dusk is not available in my country. Not to mention that I tend to lean towards iems with brighter sound signature.

Azla Xelastec. SpinFit CP155 also fit, I have them on the OG Blessing 2. They possibly do add more bass though, as /u/MrCatsoup says, this is good on the OG B2 but might be a bit much on the Variations.

Huh, a rare Blessing 2 user. Most people (myself included) seem to go for the Dusk. Any reason you went plain B2? (Admittedly, if you ask me why I went Dusk, I'm not sure...)

It might be true based on what op uses, i think go blue uses 2 dacs instead of one on balanced output. And that might do the difference but i don't think it will be very much audible.

Yea, because trying yourself leaves room for biases and placebo.
Well, unless its volume matched blind testing :)

Is this essentially an in-line resistor? If so, it makes sense that the hissing goes down/away since you're effectively lowering the noise floor and therefore increasing the SNR.
The flip side is that this will lower the overall output (not a problem if there's headroom on your amplification) and potentially change the frequency response (lessening the highs). In-line resistors are often used to tame treble peaks.

Ah yes looks like there's an iEmatch 4.4 nowadays!

I'm fairly sure a 4.4mm iematch exists

Reply to Hey Variations users, which eartips do you use in Variations? by Kitsune_Ookami
spinfit cp155 is a clear winner for me, both for sound and fit!
