I got my comply tips for the IE8 and have listened for a couple of days now first up they are soooooo comfortable. The only way these are coming out of my ears is if i pull em out, no head turning and losing a seal or anything like that. They stay where they should (over the ear by the way) Il try and describe the sound but im no expert.
When i first put them in (the complys) the sound was too bassy, i had the iem set at 3rd notch so turned it down to default but that wasnt enough for me so up they went to 2nd notch they sounded quite good if slightly darker, a slight veil over the sound is how id describe it,but still very enjoyable.
I decided to burn them in for another 12 hrs and listened to them again tonight.(about 75hrs now i think) Oh my god!!!! They are definately still changing, detail is incredible, so many things i can hear now. I was listening to Bon Ivers album which is fairly new to me so dont know it inside out but i (believe) i am hearing all sorts of clicks and touches on the accoustic guitar i never heard before, and im sure ive heard him itching his beard lol
Would be good to hear if anyone else hears this, just so many small details in the background like a foot shuffling, breathing, a sniff that sort of thing. Im really amazed or could be going mad
Anyway detail has improved lol as have the highs with further burn in, it just sounds altogether better, overall more balanced (thats the burn in not the tips)
At the moment im really enjoying the complys but may go back to the silicone doubles that came with it as that will probably be a slightly better sound, but the comfort of the complys is hard to ignore. At this point im back up to notch 3 as i felt i wanted more bass again. Burning in does seem to decrease the bass. Or as alot of people say its tightening up, to me it sounds like less as im turning them up a notch, but its all there on bassy tracks.
These are the only top end iems ive used so cant compare to any others, sorry. Totally non fatiguing not a hint of siblance, i could/ have listened to them for hrs on end and with the complys i dont feel a need to take them out and itch my ears like with the stock tips. I believe im losing out on a little sound quality but not alot, only time will tell.
Isolation as expected is slightly better with the complys but as you know i had no problems with that before they were fine for me.
I did try wearing them the wrong way again but it made no improvement in sound but feels weird/slightly uncomfortable to me. I like to wear them over the ear without the clip things,pushed in as far as i can and then pull them out ever so slightly, that gives me the best sound i feel.
Sorry for waffling on but some people wanted to hear my impressions on the complys.
I hope you all get yours soon those that are waiting.
