Hi,

I'm looking for some new ear cushions for my Sennheiser IE6, anyone got any recommendations? Anything with decent comfort and fairly good isolation is most welcome!

I switched from the included Senn single-flange tips which did not reliably seal for me to the Sony Ex series mid-sized tips. The Senn tips have a different shape that requires deeper insertion to get a reliable seal. I couldnt get them in deep enough and the body of the IE6 ran up against my outer ear so the seal wasnt too good. The sonys have a more conical shape that makes better contact w/ my ear canals and consequently seals more thoroughly and reliably. They're comfortable too.

i also switched to sony hybrid tips. I used the complys there were good but i found it easier to get a good seal on the sonys.

i think my canal is kind of half way between the medium and large size senn tips, so when the mediums were in it wasnt as easy to get a good seal but i also felt the large ones was too big!
