Make sure you take advantage of these prices and get your Flares. My Pros are seriously amazing with the custom acrylic tips. I have flown on a small and noisy Fokker 50 today and I couldn't hear a thing, even between songs. And Sonny Rollins never sounded better while I was flying over the Australian outback

 
Where in OZ did you get your customs made for the Flares?

I got them done in Adelaide, I think the mob is called Adelaide Molders. They make a lot of hearing get aid shells and what not. $160 including the ear canal impressions, great value IMHO

vsd3s medium tips make these sound very good

Once you go custom tips there's no looking back. I used to hate getting them in my ears with Comply. Custom tips simply slide right in every time and never wear out.

Any pictures?
 
Do these clip on and off or are they permanently there?

Photos few pages back. The tips rotate, pretty sure I could take them off but why would I?

OK, I'm on the Gold Coast, and Adelaide is quite a distance.
 
Based on your experience I might check out some options here. There is a place here called Pacific Ears. I wonder if they can work with the Flares. Don't think they'll be as cheap as yours though.

I think custom tips must be the next step for me and my Flares.
 
I've seen some nice ones made by ACS in the UK - kind of subtle yellowish tint, clear moulds with their logos on (I think red and blue for left and right). I'd prefer a kind of weak mint tea/weak cola colour myself.

  Amazon has the R2S (Steel) on sale for $212 right now.

What is the difference between R2PRO and R2S?

 

[sabloke]

Shells. Pro are titanium, S stainless steel. I doubt they sound too different as drivers are identical.

Colour doesn't matter much as there's nothing sticking out other than the headphones. Tips sit deep in your ear.

I made two and one sounds better than other but both are good. with zuperdac r2a sound so nice, best iems i heard. sure there are better earphones but i wont pay they money for like shure 865 or whats their name but i am looking at some shure iems. might pick one up. putting zuperdac with r2a is smooth, i hear stuff i didnt know was there. if i do same thing with ve monk improvement is not much but better. adding zuperdac to r2a its like driving a ferrari smooth, prescice music. i hear even complicated parts of song. im even dont want to say anything to folks in ve monk thread they wont like that. I think anyone can make 50 euro r2a iems with some flair audio replacements and some diying and get sound that you only get at 500-800 euro with other brands. the way it sounds with zuperdac and r2a i would give probably 250 euro but headfi would be about 600 euro.
trinity delta were good though too has nice 3d sound but r2a is just so much better overall. i might pick some bass iems. if bass on delta were better i would keep it bass is just annoing unrefined bass. unrefined bassy bass iem. even qkz x6 iem for 5 euro has better bass. everything else is worse. i would say if you pick up r2a pick up a good dac as well zuperdac is quite cheap though. there are other ofcourse. dac add better audio to r2a
