Here's a video I made of me implementing the mod.
#Micropore tape mod
The upside is that this mod takes like 4 minutes to do. You'll notice how goopy it becomes when you remove it after a bit of time. This is because the tape has gotten less porous. I notice that they sound better with fresh micropore tape after a week or two. So the only downside of this mod is that the micropore tape should probably be replaced every week or so. Also, this is a porous material in your ear, so it picks up oils and wax from your ear. the adhesive gets goopy and then it becomes less porous. NOTE : Micropore tape is not stable over time, it kind of dissolves into goo.

When you put the tips on, start with the side that has micropore tape, so you're pushing the tape on, not pushing it off.you want to line it up so it's parallel to the direction the cable comes out of the iems Apply it to the back half of the nozzle, then press it down, and then wrap it around.Cut a strip of micropore tape about the width of the diameter of the entire nozzle and twice as wide.When I say the backside, I mean if you are wearing them, you are covering the side towards the back of your head.

You want to cover the back half of the nozzle of the iem (or 60%) with micropore tape. No amount of stupidity can excuse you from not trying this. So here are written instructions, a picture and a video.
#Micropore tape how to
It's' so easy I feel stupid making a thread for it, but I posted how to do it in the S12 thread and people seemed confused and liked the idea of a video.

They're fast, resolving, balanced, have impeccable timbre. I really love these iems with this mod.I would call these very very neutral now, neither warm nor bright, but very much a reference studio sound.treble is brought down to perfectly neutral with no exaggeration anymore and great timbre.bass is brought up to neutral and is deliciously fast and tight and goes all the way down.vocals are brought up to a gorgeous neutral, nicely forward but not overly so, with beautiful tone.The whole sound signature is upward tilting with a peak in the treble.treble is tipped up making cymbals sound needley and losing proper timbre.Here are some quick notes from my review and from memory of the stock S!2 I found it basically fixed all the problems in the stock tuning of the Shuoer S12, the Gold Planar GL12 (with the included filtered nozzle that reduces treble) and the PMV PP. I'm going to focus on the S12 because it has the most dramatic and beneficial affect.īut the general affect this mod has is that it
#Micropore tape driver
This is not just the FR of the driver, but how the driver is damped as well.īy covering part of the front nozzle of the iem with micropore tape, we can both filter out some of the treble and change the damping of the driver. All but the Audeze Euclid are Chifi iems. I currently have I think 10 ortho iems here that I'm trying to compile a big review for but it's taking me some time.
