How to get rid of driver flex??

[loser0789]

Hi there, anyone knows how to get rid of driver flex? Tried using a loose fiting tip but it sounded aweful

I use comply foam tips for headphones prone to driver flex.

You have to find a way to insert them where it can displace the air.  As stated before, comply foam tips will do this because they don't have as tight of an insertion and expand/breath.  The downside to this is that they can kill treble, but bump up bass.

normally it does this because of the generous lip extending beyond the core; however, I find that flipping the tips helps prevent the drowned out sound.

Hi thanks for the reply ppl! Looking for a similiar solution as well! Any idea how to insert it in a good way to displace the air then?? Tried a few times but didn't help Hope i don't resort to foams as foams really kill off the treble which is something that I like

There really isn't any way, unless you drill a hole in the back of the IEM (NOT recommended).  Sorry.  You can insert it, then wiggle it around to undo the flex, but that's it.  It can also go away on it's own after insertion (takes mintues-???)
