Great to find this thread, as its something I have been debating with my fellow musician friends.
I currently use silicone attenuators for live performance, they are really comfy. I have a couple of my friends have accrylic CIEM (1964, UM) and generally like them but do talk about some discomfort over time worn.
It may have been discussed before but I thought of replicating the idea of making my own molds with a top of the line universal fit ( SE846 seem like they have good reviews) using an instant-set putty, eg Radian. I have used the insta-set putty for basic attenuation and they are great.
One risk is of course if this would damage the headphones, but after watching a some demo videos I think it should be ok if I take care.
Any input would be great, let me know if this sounds like a bad idea!
