I agree on the importance of testing with a variety of tips. Rubber, Silicone, Foam and anything in between. I prefer SpinFit tips in most instances. But there are times when foam is the only way that works for a good experience. All that said, I absolutely love my OH10! Anyone who complains about weight is reaching. While they are heavy in hand, it's not at all noticeable when worn.
Love your reviews EL JEFFE! I love my ikko oh10 "s! I purchased dakoni foam ear tips; bur my right ear tip keeps comming loose! Thought of purchasing jvc spiral dot ear tips. Also thought of double or triple flange ear tips! Any suggestions?
Jeremy can you help me by answering a question since you've had your OH10 for 2 years?. I need to know about the finish supposedly peeling off. Are yours still looking beautiful? Thanks
@@acroyear23 I have not been nice to them and they have a few nicks and scuffs, but the finish is still holding up great. No peeling or dulling. I'm pretty surprised as to how well it's doing. If I polish them up they look great.
@@jeremygunkel thank you so much. I actually ordered them this morning, but this was an issue I was worried about. I know they're going to sound good but I heard they're fragile. This is a relief
Ikkio OH10 or Tanchjim Oxygen. You convinced me to go Oxygen over Mangrid Tea but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Now you have my curiosity up again.
Both are much better than the Tea. O2 is a more vocal forward, less soundstage width, but great depth an layering. Both are great... OH10 has more rumble and a bigger overall bass, O2 is a more audiophile mixture. Depends on you preferences, I have highlighted some of the differences here. I personally would go O2, but if you prefer the enhanced staging, bass, and slightly more neutral tonality, then I could see you picking the OH10. Both are good tough call. I also have a final A4000 review up on the Patreon, which is closer to the OH10 than the O2.
@@intoitreviews I listen to mostly hard rock, metal and classic rock music. Based on that would you go with the OH10 for the bass? I like a good clear solid bass punch.
Wait for the A400 review ;) I'd probably say it or the O2 for those genres. But OH10 is good too... you really can't go wrong with all three. I sent my OH10 to the Honest Audiophile so he could review it, otherwise I would compare directly for you. But for those genres, I think I'd still reach for O2 for all vocals. And A4000 for kick drums, and for most vocals A4000 rocks enough, but does better with mid to high ranged singers. O2 is more subbass focus and A4000 more midbass punch. Review is up on the Patreon right now, and will release to RUclips in a week or two.
I'm a bit surprised these are still relevant in audiophile circles, IEMs are getting quickly replaced by newer products because the IEM market is way too saturated. An example would be the Fiio FA1 and FA7s, you don't see most people bring these up anymore during recommendations because they have been outclassed by other products. 2 years in the IEM world is a long time IMO.
I bought a set of FA7 last week actually. I love them for their unique relaxed yet detailed sound. I love the low end and the build quality is outstanding.
Damn!!! u sold them to me... another addition to my wishlist... they look gorgeous and your review hyped me just a doubt: do they sound similar to the FH3? this V shape signature and enjoyable bass reminds me to the Fiios... Am I wrong?
No clue, no one has fashioned the channel with an FH3 yet, would be nice if someone sent them in. Without hearing it for myself, I doubt its in the same leaugue as the OH10. A4000, Rogue, and OH10 would be closer comparisons more than likely. I'd also like to review a Hana.
Got them and really love the way they sound even though they are kinda V-shaped. No regrets at all, totally an upgrade for my Aria. These will be with me till I am ready to upgrade to next level, something like Xenns Up.
My oh10 are arriving tomorrow, hope I like them, I have T3 plus and tin t2 so hoping these will be a decent upgrade, did you hear the sound demos on Dan's audio reviews?, The oh10 sounds like a mini xenns up from the demos 😄.
@@coaldust01 Yup. Actually I went through all the videos available on RUclips before making the decision, but Dan's was the final that made me get them, as I could hear the difference there. Surely you will like them, for music listening they are dope.
I personally find the oh10 to be better. I actually have a review of the comparisons already completed, but hasn't hit RUclips yet. The main take away is that the 10s has additional texture and resolve to the bass, but kind of negatively influenced the sound more overall. Its not a huge negative though and both are great IEMs. I just find the og a bit more special, but again low end is better in the new one. Thanks for subscribing!
People are recommending Azla Xelastec tips to everyone now, they are great quality but really aren't ideal for all IEMs and ears. It bugs me when reviewers insist they only use a certain foam tip. I used to use Comply foam on all my IEMs when I first started using them. Later on I tried out a bunch of other tips and it turned out the foam tips were ruining the sound in most of my IEMs. I only use Comply tips in my wireless buds now to make sure they don't drop to the floor.
Yeah, I bought the OH10s a few months ago and I'm happy with how they perform but I honestly can't recommend them to anybody because they tend to rattle from the inside while walking. While walking and moving my head left to right these buds raddle like bells on Santa's sled, very interesting to say the least. I would not recommend them to anybody unless they like burning money on defective products that were given high review marks by talking heads.
Sounds like you got a busted one. I use mine quite often and have never had them rattle. I'd contact Ikko, or however you purchased them, and see if they would exchange them. Sounds like something is loose that shouldn't be. I've never heard of this with this product. Best of luck to you, hopefully you get a good working set in the future.
The look of that Reecho and peacock 🦚 spring, blue and silver cable, with the blue ludos tips? 👌🏼 looks so good and it's a perfect marriage, I'm ngl 😄. I'm betting I would like oh10, and prolly still is a truly nice value; namely, for that someone who's looking for that all-a-round bass quantity, with the legit audiophile-grade quality, carrying a quality across the range, even across the treble and vocal ranges, and still having good resolution to-boot; they might be well served, just to look here, in today's market? Great vid! 👍🏼

How airy and big of a soundstage is this iem? I have the aria and T3+ and for me they have an above average soundstage compared to other cheapfi iem I owned in the past when I first started. I’m planning for a step up for my arias and T3+. Do you think the OH10 is a big upgrade to them especially when it comes to soundstage?
I'm right there with you on the tips. None of my IEMs have the same tips on them, they all sound very different with different tips, and the same tip isn't going to be comfortable on every IEM. The most obvious (that I own) when it comes to tips making a difference is the Tape Pro. Those massively change depending on what kind of tip you put on them, in terms of sound, and comfort (cable makes a huge difference in comfort too).
Thanks for the review! Going to purchase these from Amazon. The selling price right now is $169! I almost got the fiio Fh3"s, but in a review I herd that the cabel, although sturdy, has issues with micro phonics! I hate it when an expensive headphone or iem can't provide a half way decent cabel and carrying case! Thanks for the advise on the foam tips, they make all the difference in the world!
Paid $130 for black Friday. Tips are so critical even using them laying down in bed affects selection. As someone who just got into IEMs, I learned real quick that tips can make or break them. If they aren't comfortable you won't wear them long, if at all. If they don't seal right, they'll sound like shit and you won't use them. I really enjoy the way the IH10s feel in the ear (even with stock tips) and sound. Waiting for a selection of tips to arrive and to decide on what cable I think will feel more comfortable.
I would like to say that I’m not trying to start an argument and I do love your channel and have bought and loved IEMs based off of your reviews. The question I have is that I have not perceived differences in cables when it comes to sound characteristics. I feel like the only thing that could change is impedance scientifically but even then when it comes to headphone cables there is not a lot of difference from what I can tell. I find it curious when people say one cable sounds better than the other because I simply don’t hear it. If you’re willing to answer what is your take on this?
My guess is that it is just something you haven't experienced yet. There are a number of reasons that sound might change, when the cable does. Sourcing (impedence can play a roll), driver type and driver interaction effects, and your source's ability to display the difference or not, come to mind as some factors... but there certainly are more. Also consider that some people may not be able to hear the difference, because their ears aren't trained well enough, or they don't have the capability (which could be for a number of reasons) as well. But, money spent on a cables also does not necessarily mean it sounds better either, in my opinion. I have heard expensive cables that sound like garbage, and cheap ones that sound good too. Cables sometimes make zero difference as well. It is all a matter of synergy really. If you haven't observed it yet, I'd consider playing around more and/or upgrading to a more revealing source (or headphone/iem/speaker), or better yet 2, to compare. If you still don't hear a difference, then count your blessings, because sometimes the blue pill is the better choice in this hobby. I'll only point out a difference in a review when I think it matters... like this review for example... the cable was fine from a sound perspective, it just doesn't play as friendly as I would like from a use caze perspective, so I switched it.
@@intoitreviews I really think it’s an impedance thing. There is a lot of snake oil information in the audio world and I hate for people to be caught up in such nonsense. I also have a background where I worked in a store that sold photography equipment and did printing. I know it’s comparing apples to oranges but when it comes to photography there are people that see a photo and think that they need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment to get the same results. DACs and amps certainly will make a difference but the notion that you need a super high dollar cable to make headphones/IEMs sound right is ridiculous.
I admit that I’m not a scientist. I just wish there was a definable reason for sonic differences with different cables. I’m just one guy with one limited budget enjoying this hobby. Take it with a grain of salt on my opinion.
Yea, it's difficult to say it is one thing or another, but I understand the frustration and being on a limited budget. For now, what I would say, is just watch my reviews and be aware of the possibility if I mention it. Like I said, most of the time its not an issue, and I'll only mention it if there are observable differences really. Good food for thought in any case. The discord is a good place to join for conversations such as this. Link in descriptions, check it out.
I did try, and could not notice any difference with my sources for this particular set. I always attempt unless I say otherwise, and will report findings if there are any. If I don't report them, it is likely the difference was not observed. Thanks for your inquires as always. Good food for thought.
@@intoitreviews Thanks for the explanation! Aside from that, you mentioned about the Spring cable being a nice addition to the OH10, would you say any cable is fine with OH10 or is something like the Spring cable a noticeable step up of some sort?
I would say generally any cable is fine for the OH10, but the Spring cable has a brightness factor (increased air) that I did enjoy here. One should feel free to experiment.
@@intoitreviews for something whose effects can be so pronounced AND so easy to A/B test, I'm surprised anyone believes that. Even between two similar models of the same brand you can already perceive differences.
in my place the fd1, tin t2 plus, tin t4 shozy f1.1 and qoa vesper (i don’t think you reviewed this one yet) are around the same price. Which one of these would you pick considering that I’m coming from the ssp?
Other way around... 1.1 is more bass, t4 has less, and re: comfort, it is good on both. Check out both videos on the channel for more specific information.
Unfortunately, I never got a KBEAR Believe shipped to me. The OH10 should have a more balanced sound and tonality, but also the bass you like. I doubt the Believe would best the OH10 for me. Thanks for being a subscriber to the Neighborhood/Channel.
@@intoitreviews I found a pair of Obsidian on Ebay shipped for $159.00 and bought them and glad I did !!!! Sold my Thor, my S12, my Moondrop Variations, also sold my KBear Be-Lieve and the reason for selling all of those you know why .....The Obsidian OH10 are that good !
@@intoitreviews I found a second pair on ebay for $99.00 bucks and man they are worth every cent !!!!! .....So I own 2 pairs now....They are that good.....
I was able to get mines for $127 using the website instead of Amazon. How I did his was applying 2 coupons towards the iem when it was at a discount for $149, and if you’re lucky you may not have to pay for shipping. I sadly did have to pay due to my location but it was cheaper for me than using Amazon.
What a steal! I bought mine on Amazon for $169 ! Don't regret it! What ear tips do you use? Dakoni ear tips work best for my ears! Hope your enjoying your in ear monitors!
@@davidmelnick9480 I'm definitely enjoying my IEM. Went from KZ iem $60 to these amazing OH10 $170 and they just sound so much clearer and the bass is definitely punchy. I hope you're enjoying yours as well. I'm actually using the same ear tips as yours, the Dakoni foam ear tips. But I'm also using other ear tips that I got when I ordered a new wire from ikko called Ikko CTU01. It came with doubled layer ear tips, balanced ear tips and short ear tips. The short ear tips makes my OH10 sound more bassier which is something I like.
@@intoitreviews I have just purchased an Ikko Oh10 and I was thinking about the TFz No.3 since I am a basshead and I love those sets in my collection. How different are they in terms of sound?
Pretty different one is wide and has a farther back presentation, the other is more like being in the musical mix in a done (no 3). Both require tip adjustments to get these sounds though. These are mentioned in each video. Thanks for supporting and subscribing to the channel.
@@intoitreviews thank you for your reviews and I have watched both videos. Your work is immaculate. Wish I could like your videos more than once! Thank you!
How airy and big of a soundstage is this iem? I have the aria and T3+ and for me they have an above average soundstage compared to other cheapfi iem I owned in the past when I first started. I’m planning for a step up for my arias and T3+. Do you think the OH10 is a big upgrade to them especially when it comes to soundstage?
Big upgrade? No... T3+ has a pretty large stage as it is. OH10 Stage is a bit bigger, but requires foam tips to get a large stage. If you use silicone the stage isn't going to be any bigger than the T3+ and may even be smaller. Resolution wise, the OH10 takes a step up in both clarity and naturalism, but don't expect a giant leap forward from the T3+ as that is already a good IEM that excells at its price-point too. I might look to the Kato or the Mangrid Tea 2 as alternatives, which might be larger upgrades, that is, if you're really looking to go to the next level. I suppose I'll bust the OH10 back out to compare to the Kato for that review. as well. I was comparing the Kato to the Tea2 last night, and surprised how well the Kato kept up. My general staging upgrade recommendations would be the Final Audio A4000 (if you can deal with some elevations), or the final B3 though. Check out those videos as well, and a big thank you for subscribing to support the channel.
@@intoitreviews the oh10 came in already. as of now I don’t feel like it’s a step up from my t3+. Often times it’s like I’m listening to music underwater. Resolution to me is a step up and doesn’t mix sounds in busy tracking and can pick up individual sounds from it even in high volume which is a plus. But the thin mids which everyone noticed is really there. as for the soundstage I think the t3+ is much bigger maybe due to its tuning. when watching movie trailers with epic themes you will really feel like you’re inside a theater with the t3+, it doesn’t remind you that you have iem on your ears. but with these it makes you think and aware that you’re listening to an iem. for the bass and sub bass it has pretty good slam to kick drums and love the rumble on these too. if I will to rank the two iems based on my preference and fun using each I would say I’d give t3+ a 9/10 while the oh10 an 8/10.
@@intoitreviews another week and I’ll decide whether to sell the oh10 have to try different tips just like you said and see if it’ll make me fall in love with it. maybe there’s also this brain burn-in but im not sure. or maybe there’s also this custom cable thing or upgraded cable but not really sure how it will improve the sound significantly. I also have to loan power sources and better daps from my friends bec some other people have said the sound on the oh10 improves especially the soundstage with better gear. then if not I’ll look into the tea 2 but not the kato since there’s a lot of people saying that it only has average soundstage. i also tried foam tips on these but didn’t make a difference on soundstage, any type of foam tips you can recommend?
I agree on the importance of testing with a variety of tips. Rubber, Silicone, Foam and anything in between. I prefer SpinFit tips in most instances. But there are times when foam is the only way that works for a good experience. All that said, I absolutely love my OH10! Anyone who complains about weight is reaching.

awesome thanks for subscribing, hope you enjoy!
@@intoitreviews Thanks for the reply! Will let you know my impressions once I receive the ikko 10’s! Have a great day!
Would these be a good upgrade over the Blon 03?
Easily, thanks for subscribing to the channel.
Paid $130 for black Friday. Tips are so critical even using them laying down in bed affects selection. As someone who just got into IEMs, I learned real quick that tips can make or break them. If they aren't comfortable you won't wear them long, if at all. If they don't seal right, they'll sound like shit and you won't use them. I really enjoy the way the IH10s feel in the ear (even with stock tips) and sound. Waiting for a selection of tips to arrive and to decide on what cable I think will feel more comfortable.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing to the channel!
I would like to say that I’m not trying to start an argument and I do love your channel and have bought and loved IEMs based off of your reviews. The question I have is that I have not perceived differences in cables when it comes to sound characteristics. I feel like the only thing that could change is impedance scientifically but even then when it comes to headphone cables there is not a lot of difference from what I can tell. I find it curious when people say one cable sounds better than the other because I simply don’t hear it. If you’re willing to answer what is your take on this?
My guess is that it is just something you haven't experienced yet. There are a number of reasons that sound might change, when the cable does. Sourcing (impedence can play a roll), driver type and driver interaction effects, and your source's ability to display the difference or not, come to mind as some factors... but there certainly are more. Also consider that some people may not be able to hear the difference, because their ears aren't trained well enough, or they don't have the capability (which could be for a number of reasons) as well. But, money spent on a cables also does not necessarily mean it sounds better either, in my opinion. I have heard expensive cables that sound like garbage, and cheap ones that sound good too. Cables sometimes make zero difference as well. It is all a matter of synergy really. If you haven't observed it yet, I'd consider playing around more and/or upgrading to a more revealing source (or headphone/iem/speaker), or better yet 2, to compare. If you still don't hear a difference, then count your blessings, because sometimes the blue pill is the better choice in this hobby. I'll only point out a difference in a review when I think it matters... like this review for example... the cable was fine from a sound perspective, it just doesn't play as friendly as I would like from a use caze perspective, so I switched it.
@@intoitreviews I really think it’s an impedance thing. There is a lot of snake oil information in the audio world and I hate for people to be caught up in such nonsense. I also have a background where I worked in a store that sold photography equipment and did printing. I know it’s comparing apples to oranges but when it comes to photography there are people that see a photo and think that they need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment to get the same results. DACs and amps certainly will make a difference but the notion that you need a super high dollar cable to make headphones/IEMs sound right is ridiculous.
I admit that I’m not a scientist. I just wish there was a definable reason for sonic differences with different cables. I’m just one guy with one limited budget enjoying this hobby. Take it with a grain of salt on my opinion.
Yeah, some of the snake oil salesmen should be ashamed of themselves.
Yea, it's difficult to say it is one thing or another, but I understand the frustration and being on a limited budget. For now, what I would say, is just watch my reviews and be aware of the possibility if I mention it. Like I said, most of the time its not an issue, and I'll only mention it if there are observable differences really. Good food for thought in any case. The discord is a good place to join for conversations such as this. Link in descriptions, check it out.
Should i get this one or Fiio Fh3 as iam upgrading from blon bl03, I need great bass and excellent SQ
It will be an upgrade for sure. Thanks for subscribing in support of the channel Rakesh!
Have you tried using them balanced (2.5mm)? Could it add anything to the sound?
I did try, and could not notice any difference with my sources for this particular set. I always attempt unless I say otherwise, and will report findings if there are any. If I don't report them, it is likely the difference was not observed. Thanks for your inquires as always. Good food for thought.
@@intoitreviews Thanks for the explanation! Aside from that, you mentioned about the Spring cable being a nice addition to the OH10, would you say any cable is fine with OH10 or is something like the Spring cable a noticeable step up of some sort?
I would say generally any cable is fine for the OH10, but the Spring cable has a brightness factor (increased air) that I did enjoy here. One should feel free to experiment.
@@intoitreviews Thanks for the quick answers! Good work btw, I'm enjoying the reviews.
Awesome! Thanks for supporting the channel and sharing with friends :)
Do people really think tips don't matter? Wow.
One of them has over 200K subs... thanks for being a subscriber to this channel :)
@@intoitreviews for something whose effects can be so pronounced AND so easy to A/B test, I'm surprised anyone believes that. Even between two similar models of the same brand you can already perceive differences.
And yet they keep subscribing and his number keeps growing...
in my place the fd1, tin t2 plus, tin t4 shozy f1.1 and qoa vesper (i don’t think you reviewed this one yet) are around the same price. Which one of these would you pick considering that I’m coming from the ssp?
T4 or 1.1 depending on if you want more bass (1.1) or not (t4). Thanks for subscribing!
@@intoitreviews so if i dont want bass then 1.1 and if not t4? How about comfort/fit. Thank you for the quick answer
Other way around... 1.1 is more bass, t4 has less, and re: comfort, it is good on both. Check out both videos on the channel for more specific information.
and here I thought I had a great bargain when I got these for 170$
Sounds like a bargain to me!
I own a pair of KBear Believe.....Should I go for these ? The Believe have a 10mm full Beryllium driver.......so I like Bass ....
Unfortunately, I never got a KBEAR Believe shipped to me. The OH10 should have a more balanced sound and tonality, but also the bass you like. I doubt the Believe would best the OH10 for me. Thanks for being a subscriber to the Neighborhood/Channel.
@@intoitreviews I found a pair of Obsidian on Ebay shipped for $159.00 and bought them and glad I did !!!! Sold my Thor, my S12, my Moondrop Variations, also sold my KBear Be-Lieve and the reason for selling all of those you know why .....The Obsidian OH10 are that good !
@@intoitreviews I found a second pair on ebay for $99.00 bucks and man they are worth every cent !!!!! .....So I own 2 pairs now....They are that good.....
I was able to get mines for $127 using the website instead of Amazon. How I did his was applying 2 coupons towards the iem when it was at a discount for $149, and if you’re lucky you may not have to pay for shipping. I sadly did have to pay due to my location but it was cheaper for me than using Amazon.
What a steal! I bought mine on Amazon for $169 ! Don't regret it! What ear tips do you use? Dakoni ear tips work best for my ears! Hope your enjoying your in ear monitors!
@@davidmelnick9480 I'm definitely enjoying my IEM. Went from KZ iem $60 to these amazing OH10 $170 and they just sound so much clearer and the bass is definitely punchy. I hope you're enjoying yours as well.
I'm actually using the same ear tips as yours, the Dakoni foam ear tips. But I'm also using other ear tips that I got when I ordered a new wire from ikko called Ikko CTU01. It came with doubled layer ear tips, balanced ear tips and short ear tips. The short ear tips makes my OH10 sound more bassier which is something I like.
I have TFZ NO 3, is this a huge step up in sound quality? Thinking about getting one
Nope, different sound
@@intoitreviews I have just purchased an Ikko Oh10 and I was thinking about the TFz No.3 since I am a basshead and I love those sets in my collection. How different are they in terms of sound?
Pretty different one is wide and has a farther back presentation, the other is more like being in the musical mix in a done (no 3). Both require tip adjustments to get these sounds though. These are mentioned in each video. Thanks for supporting and subscribing to the channel.
@@intoitreviews thank you for your reviews and I have watched both videos. Your work is immaculate. Wish I could like your videos more than once! Thank you!
I am going to get the sennheiser IE300.
Interesting choice. Hopefully that goes well for you! Thanks for subscribing!
How airy and big of a soundstage is this iem? I have the aria and T3+ and for me they have an above average soundstage compared to other cheapfi iem I owned in the past when I first started. I’m planning for a step up for my arias and T3+. Do you think the OH10 is a big upgrade to them especially when it comes to soundstage?
Big upgrade? No... T3+ has a pretty large stage as it is. OH10 Stage is a bit bigger, but requires foam tips to get a large stage. If you use silicone the stage isn't going to be any bigger than the T3+ and may even be smaller. Resolution wise, the OH10 takes a step up in both clarity and naturalism, but don't expect a giant leap forward from the T3+ as that is already a good IEM that excells at its price-point too. I might look to the Kato or the Mangrid Tea 2 as alternatives, which might be larger upgrades, that is, if you're really looking to go to the next level. I suppose I'll bust the OH10 back out to compare to the Kato for that review. as well. I was comparing the Kato to the Tea2 last night, and surprised how well the Kato kept up. My general staging upgrade recommendations would be the Final Audio A4000 (if you can deal with some elevations), or the final B3 though. Check out those videos as well, and a big thank you for subscribing to support the channel.
@@intoitreviews the oh10 came in already. as of now I don’t feel like it’s a step up from my t3+. Often times it’s like I’m listening to music underwater. Resolution to me is a step up and doesn’t mix sounds in busy tracking and can pick up individual sounds from it even in high volume which is a plus. But the thin mids which everyone noticed is really there. as for the soundstage I think the t3+ is much bigger maybe due to its tuning. when watching movie trailers with epic themes you will really feel like you’re inside a theater with the t3+, it doesn’t remind you that you have iem on your ears. but with these it makes you think and aware that you’re listening to an iem. for the bass and sub bass it has pretty good slam to kick drums and love the rumble on these too. if I will to rank the two iems based on my preference and fun using each I would say I’d give t3+ a 9/10 while the oh10 an 8/10.
@@intoitreviews another week and I’ll decide whether to sell the oh10 have to try different tips just like you said and see if it’ll make me fall in love with it. maybe there’s also this brain burn-in but im not sure. or maybe there’s also this custom cable thing or upgraded cable but not really sure how it will improve the sound significantly. I also have to loan power sources and better daps from my friends bec some other people have said the sound on the oh10 improves especially the soundstage with better gear. then if not I’ll look into the tea 2 but not the kato since there’s a lot of people saying that it only has average soundstage. i also tried foam tips on these but didn’t make a difference on soundstage, any type of foam tips you can recommend?
Ludos memory foams or dekoni (both work, I like the former better withe OH10, but they only come in one size whereas the dekoni come in multiple).
