slic sound ear gels, any good?
After reading on another thread about sensaphonics, I was browsing around on their website when I came across these.
http://www.slicsound.com/home.asp
Do they actually do anything, and if so, are they worth splashing out a tenner or so for?
You guys are the experts... have you tried them?

Awful compared to what? Would they give improvement to a £50 pair of headphones, where they wouldn't to a £500 pair?

Welcome to Head-Fi, stew!
There are numerous impressions of slicsounds on the boards. Here's one example: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...ight=slicsound
You might want to try a search.......but I don't think you'll find anything positive.

I can't imagine them sounding good with any price earbud due to their construction. I tried them with mx500 and one or two other earbuds I had around at the time. You hear the sound through another piece of plastic extending the distance between you and the driver. It sounds like the music is holding its nose.

ok seeing how the slics are pants are there any other options along those lines. Im pretty happy with my e888's however fiddeling round with them the other day even a small push to the top of the bud of the phone gave such an improvement to the sound it was pretty crazy, i think i must be losing about 6db from 40 - 50 hz down so i started thinking about custom moulded foamies? do they exist? how about latex? or anything?
thanks.

there are a number of threads around regarding modded tips: Ety 3-flange, Shure super-soft Comfy tips, Hearo's, etc being used on a variety of canalphones and such. Perhaps a search will reveal something that works on the e888's?

From what I can gather, most of the really lovely flashy expensive moulded jobbies are done by getting your ears moulded at a hearing-aid place, or audiologist, and then fitting some super-spangly drivers into that mould. Maybe a friendly audiologist could do a custom mould and then fit a pair of slightly less ridiculously high-end drivers into them for you.... hmmm...

P.s. Think I'll be avoiding the slicsound LOL

I admire your mastery of tech-speak
Especially the 'super-spangly drivers', they sound so shiny and pretty.
Oh, and are 'jobbies' better than 'do-dads'??
Good idea to avoid them IMO

tech-speak is for techy nerdy types.... i prefer the more natural mastery of nonsense words, which serves my purpose supremely well.
