Hi, all!
 
Earlier this week, I bought a pair of Denon AH-C710 IEMs to replace my Denon AH-C452s. They are great headphones and look as good as they sound (the reviews are spot-on), but my left ear doesn't seem to like them much. If I use any of the silicone tips that come with it, my left ear hurts after a couple of minutes of having them in! The Comply tips resolve this issue, but they are way too bassy and make the highs sound muddy. (I'm learning the drums and appreciate the highs from the crashes and cymbals.) I also tried reversing the tips to no avail. (They do go in much easier now, though!)
 
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do to correct it?
 
Thanks!
 
(BTW: If anyone is looking for a pair of these, J&R is selling them for $75.00.)

Buy a pack of the Sony EX tips. I use them since I had them from my last pair of IEM's. The silicone is very thin to the point where it is slightly translucent, and this makes for a very comfortable and soft tip. I get great seals with these tips, and can wear them for hours on end with absolutely no fatigue. My ears hurt too when I used the tips that came with them, before I switched to using the EX tips.

I have more or less the same issue, my left ear hurts a little during/after a listening session. I'm considering getting those EX tips. But I'm too lazy to wait and buy the replacement tips online.
 
So, is it okay if I buy any of Sony's EX in-ears from my local store and use those stock tips for my Denons? They are the same as the replacement ones right?

I'm trying the tips that came with my Sennheiser CX400s. Pretty good so far!

May I ask, how do your CX400 and C710 compare? (just as a matter of interest)
