JVC EP-FX9S-B Spiral Dot Replacement Eartips Small Black

The Spiral Dots are JVC's newer stock tips that are included in high-end JVC earphones from Japan division like the HA-FXT100, T200, FX750 and the FX850. I found many positive views from researching on Head-Fi.org, a music gear hobby website, and the ear-tips are supposed to improve the sound quality because it is made from harder material and the spiraling dots etched inside the ear-tips. As a JVC fan I decided to give these a try on JVC earphones I have: JVC's HA-FR201, FXC51, FXD80, and the FXT90. I concluded that the ear-tips work very well on FXT90. From what I tested, here is my summary: 1) HA-FR201 - I cannot recommend the spiral dots on these. This makes the already bass-heavy earphone into a bassier one. The mid and high becomes muddied and bass completely dominates the overall sound. It sounds good with the included ear-tips alone. 2) HA-FXC51 - The sound becomes more diffused. I noticed the sound from left and right is too separated and this does not mean a "big soundstage". Imagine putting two speaker on your side instead of being in front of you. I cannot recommend Spiral Dots for these. I have been using Meelectronic's Single flange silicone tips on the FXC51 and those give the best sound quality, comfort, and isolation compared to the Stock's. 3) HA-FXD80Z - Same as the FXC51. I believe the Spiral Dots won't work on large nozzle. FYI, I use Yamaha's EPH-100's silicone tips for the FXD80Z and they work like a charm. 4) HA-FXT90 - This is the best one for FXT90 as far I concern. With the stock tips I find the FXT90 to be a little bass-anemic but with the Spiral Dots it deepens the bass and makes the bass more noticeable. Yet, It reduces the grittines of lower-high/ Upper-mid treble that the FXT90 is infamous for. Yet, it improves the isolation too thanks to the firmer material of the Spiral Dots which allow for better seal. Bottom line, I highly recommend the Spiral Dots for those who own JVC HA-FXT90. The tips are far superior than the stock tips. FXT90 is well-famed for energetic and capable performing earphone but I have had complains as the bass is a little anemic, the upper-mid / lower treble is gritty, and isolation is poor. The Spiral Dots solve those problems and FXT90 stays on the top of my earphone chain.

I got a pair of monarch MKII and they are not very comfortable at all. I tried a few tips and so far these are the most comfortable. I got a size small. I would say i have medium size ears. I normally use a medium in sony tips. The second place would have to go to the dunu S&s tips. I am not sure which tips sound better but they both sound great. I got a medium in the dunu tips as the small works but the bass is pretty much gone with the small. I am happy with these but have a few pairs from other companies in the mail but so far these are the best for comfort with good sound.

They're durable ear tips with a wide bore. They'll fit IEMs like the Massdrop Plus (MD+) with zero issues. They also fit the Sennheiser IE80 and Massdrop x Mee Audio Pinnacle PX, as well as the Mee Audio P1 & P2 as well because they use the same shape body. The wide bore facilitates a reduction in bass slam, but more air in the treble region. The divots in the bore also are reputed to help reduce turbulence. These seem to do exactly what they're advertised to do. On top of that, my right ear canal is a bit of an oblong shape, but these tips still seal very well. These are a recommendation from me if you want a bit more air, and a bit less bass from your IEMs. But also, don't expect miracles, these won't completely change the sound and make IEMs that you hate into IEMs that you love, unless they're like, super tip dependent or something. However, these Medium Tips are a bit wider than say Spin Fit's medium size tips. The bore itself is actually much wider, but the overall diameter is wider. So, perhaps the Medium-Smalls are closer to Spin Fit's medium size. Basically just to help people size their tips and ears properly. These are roughly the same size as the medium tips that come with the Pinnacle PX and P1 IEMs. The IEMs that I have tried these tips with, I've like them. I keep them on my IE80 pretty much all the time. The PX/P1 seems to not really care about these, but they're a bit firmer and seal my ear better than their factory medium tips, without being as wide as their large tips. I have been testing these, the factory dual flange tips, Mee Audio dual flange tips, Dekoni Bulletz, and Spin-Fits on the MD+. I generally prefer the sound of of the Spiral Dots on the MD+. But, I keep testing back and forth. Some have said the Plus needs a bit less bass, or more air and/or sparkle in the treble region. These re-balance the sound in a pleasant way, however, I'd try out a bunch of stuff just like I have to see what you like best. These still get a recommendation from me just to have in your tip arsenal. You never know when these will be the perfect companion to your favorite IEMs.

There are a LOT of great earbud tips out there, and this one is no exception - its very nice, just not anywhere close to providing the kind of value one would expect for the high price-tag.

Anyone who follows any hifi forums knows the typical suspects of recommended ear tips - Spinfit, FinalAudio, Comply Foam, Spiral Dots, etc. and I’ve tried them all except for the SpiralDots up until now (due to price). I don’t know, $30 for ear tips always just seemed too expensive. But I was never fully happy with any of the other brands so finally broke down and gave them a shot. They really are that good, better than all the other ones. I could have actually saved money if I didn’t buy all the other ones first. The next best sounding (to my ears anyway) we’re Dekoni Bulletz foam tips, which also sound great (actually, very similar sound to the Spiral Dots) but not nearly as comfortable as the Spiral Dots. Couple of things to note - the Spiral Dots seem to run just a tad small. I am usually a medium with other brands, but more like a medium-large with Spiral Dots. Also, they don’t really seem to grab the nozzle of the IEMs as tightly as other brands. They almost seem like they would be loose or come off when you are installing them, but they have not come off on me yet. They are easier to remove (almost too easy) compared to other brands that are much tighter and require much more force to remove. This has me a little concerned still but, like I said, they haven’t come off on their own yet so they are probably fine. I’m using these on Sennheiser IE300’s and also on Ikko OH-10’s and they work equally as well on them both.

After a long and arduous journey to try and redeem my purchase of a $400 Noble Trident, I finally found the proper set of eartips that fit correctly and sound amazing! I spent literally 1 whole year trying out MANY different eartips on those Tridents and every time I found something I disliked...whether it was an undesirable fit making them slide out every other 5 secs or dealing with foam tips that dampened the treble far more than I liked, or just overall not correctly fitting on the iem itself...it was frustrating to all hell and it made me regret my investment of $400. But today after a long awaited test, I decided to give these very well regarded JVC Spiral Dot eartips a try to see if they could revive the sliver of hope I still had left in my Noble Tridents. They absolutely did! I haven't been so pleased with a purchase and such a long time. I am literally at a loss for words and again I am so thankful for getting these, honestly the best investment I've made in 2018 so far. I can genuinely hear my Tridents to an extent that I can proudly attach its respective price tag to.

After multiple recommendations of these buds as replacements for the stock ones that come with most IEMs, I thought I'd give them a try. I hate the fact that this took nearly a month to get to my door, but, otherwise, they are an improvement. Compared to the ones that came with my ATH-E40s, I'd say they are slightly smaller, but more comfortable for an equivalent size. The opening is wider, which seems to let in a little more low end. The E40's have a very tight bass response but almost a little sterile, and letting a little more air through seems to help. Despite the ship time, I'm happy I purchased these, and I'll continue using them over the stock buds.

Yes, these Eartips are REALLY Good! JVC Spiral Eartips sound just as good as Foam Eartips to make Audio better, but these JVC Spiral Eartips are a lot Cleaner putting them in and out of your Ears. The JVC Eartips make the Bass sound in music a lot Cleaner also. I used these JVC Eartips on a Pair of "Vankyo Alpha X200 True Wireless Earbuds", to make the Vankyo Alpha X200 True Wireless Earbuds sound much Better. JVC Spiral Eartips worked. Months ago, I was previously using Foam Eartips to Clean up the Music/Audio Quality on Vankyo Alpha X200 True Wireless Earbuds, but I have now switched and I am going to be using these JVC Eartips instead. I might try these JVC Spiral Eartips on my pair of Enacfire F1 True Wireless Earbuds also. I have found that these JVC Eartips are much Cleaner, and Easier to use than using any Foam Eartips, and the JVC Eartips do NOT get as dirty as regular Foam Eartips. JVC Spiral Dot Eartips really Clean up the Sound of Music in True Wireless Earbuds very well. With the JVC Spiral Eartips, there is NO Muddiness in any of the Music Audio, when it comes to any type of Music listening. Everything sounds a lot Better. I am pleased. I highly recommend these JVC Eartips.
