Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 (UE TF10?)

I recently bought the UE TF10 a month ago to upgrade my Monster Tours or however it's supposed to be titled. Also, it had to replace my ATH M50 that I bought last year because they were too tight on my head.

I bought the TF10 from Amazon.co.uk for £109.99 (approx. $172) since it was 59% off. Originally £269.

I just wanted to know if this was a right choice to make since I listen to varoius rock genres? Also, is there any other brands around that price range (around £100) that would have been better? I looked at Westone but they are too expensive.

For the past month, I find these worth buying. Although, sometimes it doesn't provide the best noise cancellation at approx. 30% volume on my HTC Sensation and iPod Nano (which I read in some reviews here that it isn't the best isolator).

Just wondering if there is any ear buds that can provide better isolation but retain the same sound quality? I read about the Sony hybrids which is a possiblity. Don't know if the Tx-500 Comply Foam tips will have any effect (or affect?)

Thank you.

Right now, i'm thouroghly enjoying them. So I guess they are the right ones.

Tips to improve isolation no idea. But if you are after another IEMs with very good isolation great sound @ £80 delivered try Yamaha eph-100.

Just wanted to find a better isolation. Also, I was just curious of what cheaper alternative (or same priced)

I was thinking of buying the Tx-500 since the ones that was included with mine were medium only which I think may be too small for my ears. However, i'm not 100% sure what Comply Foam models they are.

EDIT:

One time, when I was using the silicone ear tips, when I tried to get them to fit by pushing it in and out, they caused a suction effect. Once I got I got a good fit, I realised the sound went quiet (to almost no sound). After 12 hours they worked fine but I never touched the silicone tips ever again. Just wondering if it's because of this reason in this link http://www.thinksound.com/faq.php number 4.
