    Huge Comparison of [almost] all the Best Bluetooth Headphones - post your own comparisons here

    I have a pair of Aria Me headphones, which are basically the same as the Aria Pro but with the ability to set & store a 'custom ear profile' into the headphones to account for personal differences in hearing and/or hearing loss. I bought & use these specifically for TV watching. I would say the...

    Very Large Eartips for IEM

    Hi, just wondering if any decent solutions were found here, or any newly found products for larger ears? I think I'm in the same boat, as the Shure large foams are the only ones that completely seal on SE215s, but do put a fair amount of outward pressure on my ears. Anything else (Comply...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    Well, I now have a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pro and Fiio FH3 to compare with the SE215s. Did a brief amount of initial testing tonight, but will do more tomorrow. Since I'm working at home, I found a couple videos to play through my speakers to simulate 'noise'. One was a crowded coffee house...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    Thanks again for the responses! It's a tough thing to nail down a purchase that I'll probably use often & keep for quite some time. So I ordered 2 pairs of the Dekoni tips (M & L), and a pack of the Comply Professional tips (which appear to be the only ones that fit the 215s). - If I had to...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    OK, now that I'm probably hearing the SE215s as they're INTENDED to sound, the conversation does change a bit. I now have a week or so to decide if I want to try to make these work, or switch to a different set of earphones. The biggest things I need to determine now are: A) are there any other...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    OK, so I tried again following your instructions. I put the large Shure foam tips on, rolled them up REAL tight, then yanked my ear down and shoved those guys in as far as I could. My ear shape and/or the the design of the earbud shell would prevent them from going in any further. And... hey...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    Are these the tips you are referring to: Comply T-100 Isolation Plus ? Do you think these would make a sizable difference over the foam tips that Shure includes? I still have a week or so left to trial these, so could try those tips to be SURE I have best seal. Don't want to keep buying tips...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    Thanks for the additional responses! I'll have to spend more time going through that other thread you linked, as my head started spinning after a page or two... -- I'm really curious as to whether you notice a big difference in sound isolation, especially mids/highs that might be more of an...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    OK, so I got some triple flange tips for the SE215. They don't seal as well as my 'custom Sugru' molded tips, and probably have the least low end when compared to those or the large foam tips. The large foam tips 'feel' like they're filling my ear up the most, but sonically don't quite sound as...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    Thanks for the response! Much appreciated. I'll try to get the triple-flange tips if I can find some that would ship in time (I have to return the SE215 by end of Jan.). I do like my triple-flange musicians earplugs. But would they really make that much of a difference in sound over the...

    Sound Isolating Alternatives to Shure SE215 (warmer/fuller sounding)

    Hi, I'm in need of some earphones/headphones with very good sound isolating characteristics for use in an office setting. The source will be my computer (Mac) and I need to block stuff like whistling, desk tapping, humming, loud conversations, etc. So not the kind of stuff ANC would block. They...
