I use the included triple flanges and get a good fit / isolation.

Are you using them overear or down? I find down isn't a good for me.

Over ear. 

 

[jasparis]

Over ear. 

Maybe try them down? And some more tip rolling?

  Why am I struggling to get a decent fit with these?  I've tried foam and the silicone ones (all sizes) and can't get a decent fit.  Same issue I've had with iems in the past.  Is there a secret to getting them in properly?  I'm doing the reach behind the ears bit.
 
Thanks

 
What is wrong with the fit specifically? Do they fall out? Do they fail to seal? Uncomfortable? Blocked sound?
 
Different tips address different of those problems.
 
I actually use the stock double flange tips on these (and on my TFZs), or I would start off suggesting what I use.

Tried most of the tips, foam seems the most consistent.

I just can't seem to get a decent consistent seal.  Isolation (and therefore bass) seems very poor.  That said I might just have had a break through just now whilst playing about with the fit.  It seems angle plays a part when putting them in.  Foam seems to work best for me so will try for awhile longer.  The only thing I don't like about the p1 is how you have to push it volume wise compared to others.  My custom art music twos are quite happy around the 35 ish range on the sony a35, whilst the p1s are closer to the 60 mark!  Have to double check the volume a bit whilst swopping between iems

If angle is an issue, you may want to try SpinFits. They are designed to bend without distorting the sound and fit very well for most people. Of course, if the Comply tips work, problem solved.
 
And you are absolutely right about how power-hungry they are. I have to use them on high gain on my DAP at a fairly high output in order to get them to volume. Today, I experimented with my portable amp and found that they scaled up nicely. More body, more definition. Hard to drive for IEMs without an oddly high impedance. But, man, they sound great.

Hi, may I know if the connections of the P1 is closer to the Westones or Shures? I am planning to get the Fiio mmcx replacement cables to replace my current failing stock spc cable. Thanks.

Both utilizes MMCX connection but it's closer to Shure's fit. Be sure to try out the Fiio replacement cable first as it's pretty microphonic.

Oh ok,thanks a lot, I will check them out!

Hey guys. I have been thinking about buying these for a while since my CKR9s broke, but was worried about being able to drive them properly. I stumbled across this bundle on amazon that inludes the P1s and a fiio a3 amplifier. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JAOXBFW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A13BNE3P7C8THK

Would the fiio a3 be good enough to drive the p1s out of a Galaxy s7 edge? Thanks.

Easily. My DAP puts 150 mW into 32 ohm and it has no problem driving the P1's. That A3 puts out 270 mW into 32 ohm (450 mW into 16 ohm) and should drive them without breaking a metaphorical sweat. Jump on that bundle. These IEMs are fantastic at $200.

P1 can sound flustered without enough power, although id recommended a purer lineout from the DAC before the amp I still say go for the A3.

Thanks guys. Also, I have another question thats probably stupid, but when using the amp should I be maxing volume on the amplifier or my source (galaxy s7). Sorry if off topic.

Always max the volume on the source first. It's often digital volume, so there won't be any negatives, and you'll get bit-perfect output anyhow (unless it's Windows Mixer, which is quite confusing in how it amplifies sound to enormous heights).

I got the same deal and found my HTC 10 drives the P1's fine without the amp.

Are we talking quality or volume?
