Where can you get Sennheiser Biflange/UE biflange?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 

Hey guys, I've been searching the internet for quite awhile now and I have finally given up because I can't find the answer anywhere else. So, I'm asking you guys where to get them? If you can't get them anywhere, are there other great biflange tips out there that would fit a Monster Turbine Pro Copper? I'm asking because, I tried the triple flange ones that came with it but it just hurts my ear and all the other tips that came with it does not fit me well at all, especially my right one. I would only get a decent amount of bass but on the left I would notice a massive bass boost. Also, if there's still no other way to get a great biflange tips, what kind of other tips would benefit me? I was looking into the Sony Hybrid ones too and many MTPC owners love theirs so I guess it would be nice for me too.

Are they any good?

The short bi-flange are very close to the Senn(had both at the same time) and the long bi-flange is a good substitute  for the UE. I've had a gazillion UE bi-flanges since I have had 8 UE phones. They sound slightly different but are the same size and thickness. I like the Senn style much better than the longer one. They are shorter so the sound travels through less silicone and don't change the sound as much and the shorter ones have a larger size bore and give a bigger top to bottom stage size.

 

I know a few people who have gotten this kit to use on the IE8 and liked it a lot. I liked them myself. They are good tips.

Oh, would these be okay too? http://www.meelec.com/product_p/tipset3-bf50m-mrg-cl.htm ? I am a medium size one in a single flange tip, so would it fit me well?

Here are some vs. a medium tip...

HD big-bi, softer clear, softer black, thicker(Mee/UE-like), and a Senn.

 

Thicker ones like the black MEE and Head-diect bigs will give you more bass, the Senn a bit less but they are also pretty firm. The softer two will give you less bass because they are softer; clear is the softest and is used to lessen bass bloat and balance the sound a bit. Softer may be more comfy but won't isolate as much which explains the lessening bass. They just don't push out as firmly to seal in the lows as much.

 

YMMV so you might not know till you try which is gonna work best for you. Might as well try the kit with both styles so you'll know for sure and not be left wondering about the other type.

Your best bet is to buy a few pairs of MEE iem's since you'll get a nice assortment of tips and a nice zipper case....and it's the most cost effective way to get extra tips.

 

Also buy a few pairs of cheap SONY iem's that come with the HYbrid tips.

 

Between having 3 pars of MEE iem's and a few pairs of Hybrids I have everything I need to fit any iem into my ears....and I have some quirky fitament issues with my right ear.

I was thinking of doing that but, I don't really know what I'd do with a bunch of earphones. And it's hard finding MEE iem's in Houston. But, what are some cheap Sony iem's with hybrids? Preferrably less than $10 if not, less than $20?

If you have a Big Lots store around you the Sony MDR-EX35 are $15.....$20 at Best Buy and around $15 at Amazon.....I lucked out and got several pairs for dirt cheap.

 

Get a pair of MEE M6 for the tips and case and of course the iem is very good for the price and perfect for the gym....also look into the Soundmagic PL30 and E30 which are both over the ear designs and good for the gym and get good reviews.

 

Trust me bro.....you'll want a few pairs once you get a feel for the different signatures available for a fairly low price.

 

I'm only a year into this hobby and while I admit it can get slightly addicting it's nice to have something to look forward to researching new iem's that peak your interest.

Ah, while browsing my local store, at compusa it says they have MDREX33 and in the description it says "hybrid silicone" for $11. I'm going to go there tomorrow and see for myself.i'll try to get cheap iem's as much as possible, but in the mean time, all I can do is ask for mone but, I don't want to anoy my parets.
