I can't stand them. They just won't stay in my LEFT ear. Literally, my right ear is fine, the seal is created, but my left ear is just weird, it literally pushes the IEM out..

They sound so nice!

Have you tried foam tips yet?

 

[mmd8x28]

I can't find any around here locally, and I don't feel like ordering online and waiting anymore.

I thought foam tips loose bass..

foam tips for me always made the bass more pronounced but that was just my experience. you could always save up for some customs or getting something you have remolded into customs.

If the IEM is being pushed out of your ear, then the tip you are using is too large. That's the only thing that will cause it to push out. You might need to use two different size tips, a larger one for the right ear and a smaller one for the left.

I didn't consider mixing tips, because I thought that would imbalance the sound.

The Radioshack near me carries Comply T400's. Otherwise, just get some off ebay. It's worth waiting a few days...

Will they fit the iMetal iM-490?

For me, the large Klipsch gels fit far better than any other tips I've tried. Might not work for you, but might be worth a try.

 

[mmd8x28]

Too expensive, out of my price range (the klipsch)

If you use the exact same material in two different sizes it will probably sound fine. That may be the only choice other than customs. It seems like your left ear canal is probably smaller than your right.

The same used to happen to me, until I tried foam tips... I just have small ear canals, especially my left.

 

[pseudohippy]

I always use two different sized tips and never noticed a sound imbalance.

I have the same problem. One ear is differet and doesn't get a seal. I have odd shaped canals. They are tall and skinny, not as round as most peoples.

I just got my TF10 made into customs and so far they fit my weird ears great

 

[jukeboxbri]

^^ Mine are tall and skinny too...
