They are meant to be a cyber punk 2077 reference. I wouldn't know as I didn't play it.

I need to listen to all my music just to hear all the things I missed before. Changing the tips made the bass actually work... i was reading reviews while listening and they all talked about the bass.. I didn't know what they meant until I swapped tips.
Arya already revealed details in music, this is just finishing it off.

listening to them on dap, only restriction is I need to charge it every four hours or so or it runs out of power. That and some of the tidal songs throw an error at me. Its just one album, not sure why. Its always done it on the DAP, works elsewhere.

I might get one of these and use it in desktop mode

also easier to carry around compared to my current DAP.

• Output power (balanced 4.4 mm)
• 950 mW + 950 mW @ 32 Ω (Desktop / Super-High-Gain)
• 540 mW + 540 mW @ 16 Ω
• 185 mW + 185 mW @ 300 Ω

Still not powerful enough to run Arya but I don't want to replace the Aune. Probably run the HD600.

Changing tips does seem to alter sound - or it could be just getting a good fit.

I have 5 types to choose. 4 of them are silicon and 1 were foams, so I want to try all of those...
The Unit came with white dome type ones installed, they are okay but don't really fill my ear and there isn't much bass - even with the largest size.
The foam ones add more bass than the others do, but I see that is common for them so not sure if its adding too much, and drowning out other sounds. They are the boomiest.
The remaining three types aren't as easy to get onto the IEM, as they are softer and just squish

I wanted to try Dunu S&S Tips as they were one type I kept seeing mentioned in reviews, and meant to be good.

They were fiddly and I gave up once last night, but I was determined to try again tonight. I managed to get one on in a few minutes, so I knew it was possible, the second was just reminding me I had trouble with tips before... the white and Foam ones went on no problem, and I had got one on already so wasn't giving up... looked online for instructions and I was doing it right

1. Turn tips inside out
2. screw one edge of IEM neck into the tip
3. screw them around to get both attached.

Hard part is they have a thin neck on tips and it just bends if you not careful. That and IEM neck isn't the thinnest since its got 9 drivers in it.

Took about 20 minutes to get the second one on. Glad I didn't pick the wrong sizes, they fit my ears and don't seem too small.

They seem better than the white tips, but I am not going to do an A/B test considering how long it took to get two on. Its always possible burn in is real too and IEM could be getting better from use. Clearer bass and more width are what they add. Foams can reduce treble but its possible its just an illusion, and its the added bass making difference.

Might try the other two types later.
