For any critical application of IEMs there's a need for custom ear canal molds to be made. That's one of the drawbacks to IEMs and no off-the-shelf IEM with interchangable ear seals are going to be the best application.
The graphs were from “reference-audio-analyzer.pro”. Besides the 7 different eartips the SoundMagic e50 also comes with a pair of Comply foam tips which I understand help mold to the ear canal for a little better fit. These are the ones that also had the in-line microphone option...which with my original question in this post...I was wondering if it might interfere with the sound.
