I wonder how they compare to Mandarins?

Me too, but I’ve never tried them. I think in general, while very good in theory, in practice for me, I don’t find them comfortable. Both these and ones that I made up myself. I think the foam puts too much outward pressure on the silicone, and I find that uncomfortable, unless I use a size that fits loosely, but then there’s really no increased isolation.

maybe use the more porous foam like the Comply active series

Anybody have spare genuine stock white tips of AKG Samsung Earphones? I've tried Spinfit, FiiO and Tennmark but still impressed by the ones from Samsung and consider them to be the best for my ears:

The AKG Samsung Earphone ain't bad either

Well that's that done then. Just paid the sum of forty seven NZ dollars for two pairs of Azla 'XELASTEC' tips! Might this be a new benchmark in audio expenditure? The makers claim that their production is "difficult and complicated', and who am I to dispute that, when they invoke materials that nobody has even heard of (yet)? But hey, MTMT Audio seem like a winning outfit, for sure... and their prices are still lower than the actual Japanese ones...

They are too much bass for me so I threw them off but keep the tips.

Westone star tips and symbio are my favourites so far. Symbio works best for me with wider nozzle iems and westones tips for well .. westone.

The regular length AZLA Sedna Light tips have been a revelation for me as someone who was mostly away from the audio scene the past 5 years or so. I can't believe the crap ear tips (no-name kinds, really) I just accepted as my lot in life until I started nosing around Head-fi again the past couple months.

Where did you order them from?

Thanks

Checked at Mtm audio, 30 USD for 4 tips? Are we crazy or what?

This is headfi , so yes. That's been my issue with buying multiple tips, Add it up and you could probably get a set of impressions done!

That's still too much for me, but it's much better than 30. I wish these and the other Azla tips were sold in multi size packs like the Spinfit CP360.
