  I find silicone more comfortable for sure and was asking Andy from ACS at the show about open/closed mouth impression, because all my other 5 impression were open mouth and when i get the ciem its always a little too tight a fit, except with silicon doesnt matter as much as hard acrylic.
The Encore was my first closed mouth, i expect it to be more comfy.
The H8Pro i have are comfy too tho.
All my acrylic ones are far too intrusive on the ear for comfort..
The 85 Ohms should be a sound advantage imo.

When I ook my last impressions I did a small space to approximate my mouth when relaxed with my lips closed. Worked well and I find my acrylics very comfy. I forget they're there.

  Soundtubes inside the CIEMs are typically PCV or something similar in both acrylic and sillicone CIEMs. What I'm referring to is that acrylic is hard material so it does not "bend", whereas the sillicone is soft and so it "bends". Due to this "bending" character of sillicone sometimes it happens to me that if I don't put sillicone CIEMs properly in the canal part of the ear there are some slight changes to the sound. Of course after few seconds the "problem" disappears. I did not have this problem with acrylic CIEMs.
 
More annoying (of course for me) thing with sillicone CIEMs is that the canal part of my ear is sweating more with them than with acrylic CIEMs.
 
May be it's just me but I prefer acrylic CIEMs over sillicone ones of course from purely comfort perspective. Please do, however, understand me that I don't consider sillicone CIEMs as less comfortable; it's just my preference goes to acrylic CIEMs in terms of comfort.

I'm sure it's another one of those personal things. I said that my fit is great but I guess I should add that I did the last tiny bit myself with some sanding and acrylic enamel. Strongly not recommended for those not accustomed to this sort of stuff. Lots can go wrong from dust getting to bad places to unrecoverable errors.

I personally would go custom but the UIEMs are a good idea to have. I just don't know why ACS don't do silicone tips. 

They used to but discontinued them this year.

Might have to do with your physiology. I'm sure some folks canals change more than other with mouth position. I suspect the 1" was originated for performers maintaining seal while singing etc. 1" would be about 1.2 the deformation. If I manipulate my jaw properly, I can break my seal which is great right after install. I never loose seal unless I try.

I think this is what i mean, there's just a tiny bit to be made more comfy, but essential.What did u use exactly?

  I'm waiting to decide what colour i want for my ACS Encore, there will be a whole bunch of universals due soon too and believe me. Value for money is inSANE! They will be available for pre-order in the next few hours! The Evoke Studio UIEM will list at £149.

Any more details or links on the universals please?  I'm guessing they will be acrylic not silicone?

Thanks

LOL. I really lucked out on this club though. I had a pre-existing order for the T1, and ACS was kind enough to allow me to upgrade to the Encore
