[QUOTE="user 18471, post: 875396, member: 18471"] Some In-Ears / IEMs are not suited for custom mold, manufacturers will state in the product line up Universal fit range or Custom fit range. Universal fit: The tips used are extremely important as the bevel at the end of the tip acts as a pre-mixer (Comply, Spiral Dot, SpinFit, Final etc), all which have a rather large impact on the sound signature, like Ear-Pad rolling on Over-Ear Headphones. Custom fit: Pre-mixing is carried out prior to the mold. PS: I know someone who went custom mold on universal fit, was a total disaster. These in-ears were not cheap, the molding exercise was equal to the price of the in-ears. To protect the manufacturer i cannot disclose the Brand - these were the specs on the in-ears: Impedance: 8 ohms Frequency Response: 10 Hz to 30 kHz Sensitivity: 125 dB SPL/V The molds remain un-used. Not an Audiologist - draw on information from manufacturers. [/QUOTE]
