Biflanges and Shure Foamie Q's - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

1. The biflanges that come with my UE3's don't fit...is this normal? The tube gets compressed in my ear, therefore preventing a good seal and blocking the sound from the driver.

2. Do the Shure olive foamies fit anything else OTHER than their SE line?

For me, they fit the Etymotics ER6i and the Future Sonics Atrio M5 ... no doubt some other makes, too. I've had good luck with foamies vs. flanges -- the small Shures and the small Complys are pretty small and might work for your ears (if they fit the earphones you're using).

Yah, i couldn't ever get a seal with 5 pros for more than 30 seconds.

Shure olive foamies fit UM2 kinda loose/sloppy, and Ety's pretty well
