Hje900 Nearly perfect sound but zero isolation, Anything similar in uk? looking to order today.

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Just what the title says, I've had the 900 for a while and while i'm in love with the sound especially the fizzy treble i'm heartbroken that i cannot enjoy them on the go as the isolation absolutley sucks for me,and it's pointless having amazing sound if i have to turn the volume up to a crazy level when i'm out, The isolation does not have to be of ety standard but at least as much as the shures.

I know complys will give me better isolation but i won't use them as they tend to muffle the sound so is there anything along the dynamic line that has the isolation i want, i was looking at the copper turbines but i had heard the westone 2 was pretty dynamic for a ba phone so i have those two as a start.

Looking to order today really for the weekend so any advice would be most helpfull, Bear in mind i'm in the uk so i'm restricted to models i can get here.

Isolation is largely dependant on the tips you use. Try doing this:

Edit: The foams do not alter the sound if you cut them short enough as to not cover the nozzle. The original Complys stick too far out and that's why the sound gets muffled.
