For me absolutely not. They have an 11k peak in my ears with any silicone tips that makes them unusable without EQ while the Chu does not.

Argh I should have got 155 but I love the 145 on Chu.

I actually have some small green CP-145 and I didn't find them any more comfortable than the stock tips. I will have to try them again!

Does this make the IEM fit less deep? I don't see how any tips could increase the comfort vs the stock small tips unless they seal at a shallower insertion so the fat nozzle doesn't have to go as deep.

I wouldn't say the CRA is ridiculously good. The treble timbre isn't perfect and and it has more bass/lower mids than neutral but it is fine as a beater IEM for bringing outside.

CCA CRA paid $12 on sale.

Have never had (and probably never will have) an IEM cheaper than that outside of dollar store ones or the Sony Fontopia ones I used to get from ebay for $5 each but that was so long ago I can't comment on the sound quality anymore but I liked them at the time.

But IMO the Chu reign supreme in the very low price category.

So it's really an upside-down left handed turntable? That's impressive.

Do you always use a left-handed turntable?

I'm afraid this post is not against the rules.
