Finally we agree on something - silicon tips do sound awful and that's all I needed to hear from you You can tell yourself that they "don't go in my ear properly" but "It is all a matter of belief:. "Neurology tends to show that we live in a world of imagination at ALL times"
And there's no pricing on silicon tips but universal foams are not much cheaper than audiophile and probably pricier than silicon - so there goes your theory.
Here's a quote from Flares's director: "As we said in the instruction manual, we know these are a very delicate, consumable product, which we included in the package as a value-added product as they give the very highest sound quality and comfort, using as they do, our Acoustic Lens technology. The Everyday EARFOAMS® offer the same Acoustic Lens technology, but in a much more robust silicone material. They are sonically vastly superior to the cylindrical (Complyesque) tips (also supplied)."
"Vastly superior"
