Quick Review: Comply T400 Foam Tips
Alright. Just got the Comply T400 tips from HeadphoneAddict. (Thanks a lot!)
I've been trying these on all my IEM's so far and this is what I've found:
Comfort and Fit:
Wow. That's all I can say. These are simply the most comfortable tips I've ever tried. I don't know if all foam tips are like this, but this is just amazing. Wearing them on my IEM's, I can't even feel them. They're fluffy and soft, while still providing a good seal (more on that later). The fit is also great. I found that the best method to wear these is to roll the tips around to flatten them, then insert the earphone into your ear and hold it there while the foam expands. It stays in pretty tight while still being comfortable.
10/10
Sound Isolation:
The isolation on these are also nothing short of incredible. I can safely say these isolate 2 to 4 dB more than the stock silicone tips. However, the isolation may vary depending on the size of your ear. Comply's didn't work so well for my friend, who had larger ears.
8/10
Construction:
This is where the Comply's lose a bit. The construction of these tips aren't horrible, but they're not great. Putting them on my IEM's took a while, as it didn't fit at first. Also, when I tried to take them off the IEM, I had to wiggle them off slowly as to not tear them apart. I'm pretty sure this wasn't a problem with the fit, as the website lists this tip as compatible with my IEM's. Last, if you want your tips to last, do not buy the Comply's. You'll probably have to change tips every couple weeks.
4/10
Sound Quality:
There was a definite improvement in sound quality over the silicone tips. The sound is much fuller while still retaining most of the treble. However, some of the sparkiness is gone from the treble, but the added bass makes up for it. I'd highly recommend these if you want better sound in your canalphone.
9/10
Final Score:
8 out of 10
Once again. Thanks a lot to HeadphoneAddict for giving me these!
