hello, everyone.
sorry if this doesn't make much sense. i was stuck in traffic all day, and am super tired...
 
i got my PL-50's from ALO, today, and was super psyched to give them a listen. but none of the included tips fit my ears (i guess i have huge ear canals?). which was weird to me, cause the medium tips on the shure's i've owned in the past gave a great seal. after a little while trying to get one of the foam style tips off of the tube, the casing of the right headphone fell apart... that kinda pissed me off. so i went to cvs to buy some super glue, and saw these sitting on the shelf for $6.00 
 

 
after super gluing the headphone back together, i opened the ear plugs and they had a small hole at the top. so i put a small screwdriver through it and a little cardboard plug thingy popped out the other end. after this they fit perfectly on the tube of the PL-50 and offer a much better seal than any of the included tips.
 

 
sorry about the bad pictures. they were taken with the ipod's camera...

Nice Don't you want to trim the stem down a bit? It makes me feel like you have a wormhole in your ear

 

[88Chris]

i did think about that. might try it, later.
 
edit: ok. cut the the stem about halfway down and they sound a lot better. i like these.

Whoaaaa these are instruments of torture. I used these at a really loud club once, and only once. After that I bought the ER-20.
 
It also kills the highs. Completely. My SE420 has no highs now. Zero.
 
Isolation is insane, way better than anything else.

I'd previously cut off a flange, because some idiot decided that quad flanges should have more isolation than triflanges.
 
They make ok tips, I think i'll try them with a W3 some day.

Seems like a nice find. but without a trim they look like they'd touch each other in the middle.

yeah, i just cut off the top flange. made them a bit more comfy. the high's are just fine, in my opinion.
 
they look like this now...

Arent' you afraid that they'll come off in your ear canal?  They aren't designed to be put on IEMS, so there isn't a notch to prevent it from sliding off.

 

[88Chris]

nah. they're pretty snug on there.
