Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
For those of you wondering about tips and tip effects, I found this article interesting several years ago. It's not the end all reference or anything, but an interesting start. I always thought the triple flange (in my ears) sounded really weird, and these measurements bear that out, however the...- ouchia

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
Spook - I've been on this site for 11 years, I'm not new to this. I understand what tips are and what they're made of. What I think you're missing is that the "tip" (part of the custom sleeve that goes into the actual canal) can and often does - and I looked at your pics and in your case...- ouchia

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
Yeah, like goodvibes said, there are many reasons for the tip and tip length to affect sound. My main concern is actually if the tip bends past the kse nozzle you're actually hearing sound reflected off of a silicone wall.- ouchia

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
I'm concerned about the tip length as well, waiting to receive my sensaphonics shells as well. When they did my impressions, I noticed that there's a sharp turn into my canals at the end. I was hoping I'd be able to have the kse nozzle pretty close to the end of the tip but I don't think it's...- ouchia

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
Ahh. I wonder if the people that like the combo are using a similar cable. I have to wait for the moon cables to come out, I don't think there are any other high quality mfi-certified in the u.s. yet.- ouchia

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
Hmm. Could be, although I used tidal as well which sounded worse. I was just surprised since it seemed like Jude loved the iPhone/mojo/kse/tidal combo and to me it isn't there. I've got my tips dialed, using spinfits now after doing surgery on the olive foamies. I was hoping someone would say...- ouchia

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
I am on airplane mode, yet with the wifi on. Regardless, it's not even close to the computer's sound. When I plug my tg334's into the mojo, it sounds amazing. This is connected to my phone. It's not the mojo. It's not some subtle sound shaping. It's more that the kse's are so transparent I can...- ouchia

I'm using some lossless on iTunes, tidal. I don't use a player because I have iTunes Match and I try to keep it simple. Just trying to figure out if getting the right cables can at least get me another quarter of the way to my computer's sound...- ouchia

Hey all - Just looking for some opinions here. I love the kse/Hugo combo out of my laptop, however the kse/mojo/iPhone combo to me is no bueno. I much prefer my fitears out of the mojo/iPhone combo but I'm trying to make the Kse better. I am using the apple camera kit with the phone, so I have...- ouchia
