I was not finding the tri-flanges very comfortable on my Ety ER-4P's, so I decided to cut off the last flange. It fits great and works fine, but I can visibly see the very tip of the headphone along with the green filter. Is this normal? I don't know how else it would work, but will this wear out the filter faster? I'm just wondering. I can take a picture later if nobody else has theirs cut like this..

I bought these puppies just before Christmas and they have been a revelation. I can't tell you how much they suit my listening tastes. I love close listening with lots of treble and tight...

First of all let me say this is one of my favourite BA driver earphones I have ever heard. That said, being a basshead, these didn't deliver in the bass department - I can't deny the fact...

I've had this card for quite a while now, and I have to say its a really nice card - a huge step-up to my on-board motherboard's audio. At first I do have to admit, it didn't feel like the D1...

I think many people use a bi-flange or other brands of tips(Shure)which are shorter than the tri-flange. You shouldn't have any problems with your filters...unless you never clean your ears of course
I like the Ety foam tips because they're more comfortable and sound better to me.

Awesome. I keep my ears pretty clean and I wash the tips every week or so. The bi-flanges are really a lot more comfortable. I can keep the ety's on for longer periods. Thanks guys.
