Comply Tips Review

Is there a Comply foam tip which is compatible with the Etymotic ER-6i?
 
I have heard that some people use the T-100, although it is not listed as compatible. Are there any issues with doing so, or is it worth a try?

Because of ER-6i filter position, it sometime get 'caught' by Comply when you remove it. You will have to carefully take out the filter and put it back to the nozzle. May be that is why Comply doesn't list it as compatible.

I have to thank you for the T-Series.  I wouldn't be able to use IEMs without them.  The sound canal on every IEM I've ever tried (except the Shure SE110 and their olives) rub against my tiny baby ear canal.  I have a question about the P-Series though...Are you going to release anything smaller than the Slims?  I have them for my S4s, and they feel a little fat in my canals.  If i don't get the depth JUST right, they feel very full and start to fatigue me after a while.  Mind you--they're still more comfortable than the silicon tips, and the isolation is AMAZING, but they just kinda...hurt.  I ordered them instead of more T-Series for the superior isolation, and now I'm starting to wonder about my decision.

Spot on. They may fit, but the fit is tight and it may remove the filter. We can't approve it as compatible because of this, which could be argued as damaging the device.

I would have to check with the team, so don't quote me on this, but we don't have any plans to shrink the P-Series tips as far as I know. The P-Series Slim Small is pretty tiny, so if we were to make it smaller, it may completely change the isolation, comfort, etc. I admit, though, that I'm not an engineer. Perhaps the Ts-Series in Small may be a good option for you after you finish with the P-Series.
We have an active 25% off coupon code right now that will last through the middle of next week. The code is: FIREWORKS
Just throwing it out there.

In the current fit kit that Westone sends with their UM3X they enclose two of the long versions.  One is fatter than the other, which tips on your website replicate the slimmer ones identically?

Interesting...
I thought it was the ER-6i that first introuduced me to Comply tips many (many) years ago. It was either Comply or another pre-Comply foam tip that was included in the accessories. It was the size of the P-series 'Standard'. Haven't been able to use anything else since.
 
BTW... the old P-series 'Standard' is now the 'Large'?

Thank you. Just to clarify though, should I try the T-100, or another model. I am aware that I am doing so at my own risk.

Westone includes 3 pairs in their devices (Short, Slim, Standard). The Slim is now Medium, the Standard is now Large.
The Slim has a white core, the Standard has a black core, making them easy to identify. Basically you'll need the P-Series Slim in Medium.
 
I can't say, "yeah, order the T-100" for something that's not approved. Our legal team would kill me. I can say that other Head-Fi'ers know what size will technically fit, and that the other models by Etymotic work with that tip. Sooooo buy at your own risk *dramatic music*

Little follow up, I called Comply last night and explained how I'd forgotten to apply the coupon. I wake up this morning to an e-mail saying they've gone ahead add credited me the 25% back onto my card.
 
I do love a company with great customer service.

No thats a decent company and will get more business by this small accommodation. Most businesses will not do this as it is more of a hassle than anything else. Good Move Comply!!!

True, it is simple good customer service and should be a regular part of any business but it so often isn't and I like to point out to people when it is. There are certain companies I've always found to be very good to me as a customer and it's why I will always buy from them. Comply is one such company. I've always found them to be very accommodating.

Okay, so how do you go about choosing the right tips?
 
I have the 535's and have been using the included medium and large foams (the Olives I guess they're called), and they're both a pretty good fit.  I ordered and have some T-100's medium that are also a good fit but maybe seem just a tad on the small size.  I only say that because the isolation doesn't seem as intense, although they are a little more comfortable and seem to be worth the trade off.  I'm just wondering at the difference between the comply models?  Do you know if they sell a package that has the 3/4 different ones in one pack?
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin

Same dilemma.  Have the 535s and tried the medium olives, and put the large ones on to get the best seal.  I've used the large Shure foams for years on my e4s, but the different design of the 535s doesn't allow me to get them in there as far as I could with the previous phones.
 
I've tried finding size specifications online for the Shure olives, but can't.  Would like to compare them to the large P-Series dimensions to see if they have a little more reach into the canal.  If they do, I'll order and try them.
 
Does anyone know?
