I love these. They fit well and stay in place even when I'm walking around and they're much less expensive than the Divinus Velvets. They are comfortable with great sound isolation. They looked weird when I first seen them but they were inexpensive so I got some and was pleasantly surprised when I tried them. One of my top 5. Highly recommended.
Happy they work for you :)
Unfortunately, they are just too wide for me and from what I read probably also for most people due to the very wide outlet. As I said in my review, if they'd shortened the tip or shrunk the outlet by some, these probably would work better for more people but as is, I just can't recommend them under the assumption most people do not use tips that are L size.
A job well done as always Donspektor.
I'm waiting for you to do a test on the BGVP -W01 wide bore.
Do you have a link for these :)?
I'm not able to find them with a quick google search

TRI Clarion ain't my favorite eartips.
However i need to admit it has 'saved' me a lot when trying out IEMs with short nozzles such as KZ D-Fi.
At first, it was very uncomfortable since it will poke deep, as time goes by, i grew used to it, no longer bothers me at all.
Personally, it is definitely NOT the worst eartips in my collection, i would choose Clarion over Moondrop Spring Tips on almost every occasion.
Interesting ;-)
I'd choose the Spring any day over the Clarion as even on shorter nozzle IEMs, I prefer the lightly more sticky nature of the Spring over the Clarion.
Maybe the Clarion would work well on TWS... But for that unfortunately the inner-cylinder is too big so I can't fit them on e.g. the Buds 2 Pro :/
@@don_spektor i like the stickiness of Spring tips as well.
Unfortunately, i cannot get proper seal even with Moondrop Chu it came with.
The neck of Spring tips is just too short, therefore it can only accommodate longer nozzle IEMs..
.. for deep ear canal people of course.
@@faisalfirdausiinn4708 Chu also has a shorter nozzle from what I can see. Other IEMs will insert deeper thand there the Spring could work better... Not that I'd like to use them on these IEMs, just saying it could work better there for you^^
@@don_spektor Based on my experience(including the nature of my canal), Spring tips are most of the time unusable(not proper seal) for me..
.. which includes:
TruthEar Hola,
KiwiEars Cadenza,
KZ Castor, ZVX, ZEX, EDX Pro, PR1/PR2,
Salnotes Zero 2.
Proper seal on:
KZ ZSN Pro, ZSN Pro X, ZS10 Pro X,
TRN Conch,
CCA Rhapsody,
EPZ Q1 Pro.
I ordered SML, received 3xM. They were too big. S might have worked better. Had them on for an hour and never tried them again. M makes my IEM stick too much out of my ear. Very uncomfortable. Maybe S would work better.
I can imagine... These are just so wide, size down is basically the only way how to get them to work. But also great that they didn't even send u what u ordered :/
The Tri Clarion eartips only pair well with IEMs which have excess bass and which have large nozzles. Even then, these eartips might not be the best choice. The only IEMs which I am using them with is the Kefine Delci and the QKZ x HBB. I was using them with the Ikko High-ear C but later I switched to Azla SednaEarFit Short eartips.
That'd be also my guess.
If they just shrunk or shortened them somewhat, the Clarion might work but as is... Well, not a good choice for most IEMs in my book...
@@don_spektor I agree.
spring tip doesn't stick to my ears so I hope this will

They aren't that far off in terms of fit to me. Maybe give e.g. the Crystal? Or something with a smaller outlet like the Liquid Silicone? Those definitively are more sticky and should stay more safely.
@@don_spektorjust got them and M size seal my ears really well
spring tips L couldn't do that
@@kittikorn6674 Moondrop Spring tips seem to be suitable with longer nozzle IEMs such as CCA Rhapsody.
it is very seldom for me to find 'partners' for Spring tips.
@@kittikorn6674 Happy to hear :)
