If you don't like the Sonys, no matter what you do, the sound signature will remain the same. However, if you don't mind clean bass, then go ahead with the MC5s.

If you really want isolation go with what someone said, the shure's are great for isolation.
I don't think changing the tips to a certain extent will make it that much better.
 
Sure, Comply's tips will help, but won't help the design of your earphones. (vented, angled etc)
 
Cheapest option is to try new tips, and then go for new earphones.

Sorry...must have missed that or overlooked it.
 
Then in that case your in the market for anew IEMs?

If so, at what range (price)
and what taste? (bass or something more for classical...)

60-70$
Good isolation. Cable more durable than the sony.
 
Its just to use at school. I use my beyers for anything else

I still think the MC5 covers all your demands, and it is very comfortable with the ety foam tips. and if you dont like how light the bass is, they respond well to EQ or bass boost

If you get the Etys it's worth giving the triflange tips a chance (there are two sizes supplied with the phones.) They give arguably the best performance in both SQ and isolation, After an initial adjustment period, nowadays I can wear mine comfortably for hours.

this is true, but personally I cant stand the triple flanges for more than 30 minutes.

Oh, I realize many people can't tolerate them, but I just think it's worth Ety newbies' while to give them a fair trial. You never know.

Etymotics are good-uns and shure's for isolation (see below)

Nice setup!
Although I would have thought they go right in - whereas with your setup, the foamies will keep them "out" if that makes sense

More about comfort than anything...they just hurt my ears.

all the foam part goes inside. they go in until the red barrel touches the start of the canal. a very comfortable deep insertion.

its not that large, lol. and you have to compress it by rolling it with your fingers, like an industrial earplug. then it gets really thin and goes in easily, you can feel when the foam expands back and seal the canal.
