In ear headphone tips difference

+1 for Comply. Super comfort and isolation.

Well I tried the Comply tips (T-400 medium) with my old VSonic GR07. The isolation is good, but the isolation is good with my normal rubber tips. Also the normal rubber tips give a little more bass.

Having said that, even though the GR07 comes with many rubber tips this was the only one that worked for me - so it might depend!

How did you find the comfort of the Comply? Many people find them more comfortable.

Hi firedog, yes they're comfortable for me.

Comply are expensive, especially if you train with them in your lugs. I regularly knackered a pair a month, though I did use them 8 hours a day.

It quickly adds up to the cost of a set of sleeves, or much better iems.

I use JVC 'spiral dot' tips for my IEMs, their just a bit better than the rubber/foam Sony tips my XBA-A3scame with . I got them because they have five sizes, which really helps maximise comfort.

i find my iPhone isn't really capable of producing volume that I would deem to be unsafe. The iPod I used to use many years ago is the benchmark for comparison and that used to be absolutely ridiculous.

I bought these triple-flanged tips for my VSonic GR07. Initial impression, they are comfortable, block noise and sound good. (I lost one of my double-flanged original tips on the train, cue me scrambling on head-fi for "tips"!)

The large ones fit for me.

Long-term update: with the double-flanged originals I had to press in hard to get a seal, I have to be more gentle with these triple-flanged ones because they are longer. I can achieve comfort and a good seal at the same time, but only if I'm careful.
