The plastic/rubber/sillicone ones, I hear the foamies muffle the high's a bit. I somehow need the large ones as the smaller ones fall out ;o. Read that the Etymotic Triflanges are perfect on the B2's, but no idea where to get those . But eh, just tried the fomies, but they don't even close the ear canal with me.Hey, I'm really not such a big guy, is it normal for me to require the biggest sillocones delivered with the B2?
Edit: Oooh, wait a second. With the biggest, furthest I could get them in, i had a really good seal. The middle-size just fell out. Started looking on the webz for images of people with them in, and wow.. mine were sticking out a _lot_ more then everyone else. I mean, it was nothing like http://bilder.hifi-forum.de/medium/465746/untitled-3_22143.jpg but more like http://caffeineconsumer.webs.com/images1/zooB2.jpeg ..or more seriously, like http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy162/ethan961/DSCF4840.jpg but the case not inside the ear but sticking straight out full length. So I tried the smallest, pressing them even deeper, bits of pain, but hey.. the left ear kinda worked, the right one was more work.. it's now inside like http://cdn.head-fi.org/9/9a/9a6162c4_IMG_5218.jpeg, I'd say it's even more.
In terms of high's it didn't change too much, if anything, it did add a bit of clarity and pain, yet lessened the bass but that was OK as I have the idea the bass is now even more tight and exact, but the pain is something I'll cope with having this increase in clarity, and more exact deep. I'll make some pictures tomorrow.
Update: After having a good sleep, my ears are still hurting.. but all for the good: I'm guessing my ear canal was so tiny, doing the deep insertion they opened up, and let me hear stuff again I was missing out on generally. I can hear my floor-standing speakers hiss while the stereo is idle, server generate high-pitched noises, and the media center fan running. Neat. Brb, shutting things off lol.
Btw... What tips are you using on the b2? Foamies? If so, give silicones a go, see (hear) if it changes anything...
