The smallest and least obtrusive of those is the westone um pro 10's.

Since they're monitors they have little to no stage and they are tuned mid centric (almost DF like an ety) and should work well.

Here's some pics of it vs my old se215.

They are tiny and super comfortable. Plus with the cables going over ear, she's much less likely to damage it. And the westone cables are fairly stout for how thin they are.


If she wants a slightly brighter or darker signature you can change the knowles filter in the nozzle as well. Since I know you can DIY.

Nice! I've never owned any Westone with less than 6 BAs and I didn't realize the 10s were so slim. She might actually like that better. Though she really seems to be liking the TRN M10 (cheap, but good 1BA+1DD) that I dropped yesterday for her to use.

Anyways, I'm headed to a late anniversary dinner with my girl and asking her to marry me. Wish me luck! 🤞

Got mine today. You’re correct. 11.5 is too small for L. They just barely fit my ears on longer stemmed sets. They sound really good, but they don’t stay sealed. Half a millimeter more in diameter (12mm) would make them perfect for me. The shape really does make them fit differently than more teardrop shaped tips. 12mm in these would fit like 13.5 size “standard” shape tips.

So, mixed review. Please, DUNU, make an XL version.

@Sebastien Chiu
Now you're freaking me out! I got canyon sized ear holes! I bought two boxes of L. 😭

I think it will be more dependent on the nozzle length of IEMs. I just tried the Shuoer 12 pro and it has a shorter nozzle than most IEMs so the S&S tips dont work well. have to use Spiral dots on them in order to fit me. IEMS with medium to longer nozzles the S&S tips fit deeper and seals much better. So it will be more or less IEM dependent and your ear shapes.

For the IEMs that do work well with them, they are brilliant.

Bro, should have given her this CVJ Shine IEM thingy:



Diamonds (or pseudo diamonds) are a girl's best friend.

She gave me back the IEMs...

...but kept the ring and said yes anyways! 🤘😎

Now she's having some kinda female pow-wow with her mom, sisters, and all manner of friends/colleagues over zoom. I can't even really make out what's being said between all the crying, giggling, and stuff, but I think it's all good! 😂

Edit: And thanks for the well wishes fellas!

Thanks, bro! Dinner took a while because I took her to a very nice restaurant where they have a house piano and strings trio that is VERY good so we ended up doing some dancing while we were there.

“There’s a peak in the treble somewhere...”

No but that does sound quite nice, especially with a sipper.
