The silicone tips it comes with are uncomfortable. I've been using comply t400 tips, but they suck out the highs. Any suggestions? I've heard some recommend UE bi-flange tips.

Many people recommend the sony hybrid tips for the IE8 as well as the UE single and double flange.

I personally am enjoying the sony tips on my IE8 and I use it in conjunction with klipsch gels when I'm at home.

So the klipsch gels fit this size? They look comfortable.

They don't actually fit straight on. If you put a regular silicone tip on the IEM barrel, you can fit the klipsch gel inside the silicone tip.

IME the CK100 need a tight seal to sound best. I use UE silicon tips (single flange) lightly stuffed with some foamies.

For best fit, i prefer UE double flange stuffed with shure olive

 

[Antony6555]

Any more tips (besides the sony's) that fit without needing modification/other tips? Will the UEs fit without a shure olive?

Of course, stuffing is just a way to improve seal/isolation.

Could you show a picture of that? Thanks

It's essentially the same mod I did with the SE530 here. Does not work for everyone, but works good enough for me. But your post made me reexamine my CK100 again and now I realize I used de-cored olives with the UE tips, not foamies. Sorry about that - I did experiment with both, but obviously stayed with the olives.

These are the tips you want to use, they sound much better than the Complies in my opinion. I just tried them today and they sound great!

Just make sure you get the tips inside deep enough to form a good seal.

EDIT:

After trying these with other sources I find the treble abit excessive, the black foam tips that come with it sound pretty descent IMHO and I probably would just go for those next time. They are durable too, the hole is small so I may drill it to make it abit bigger and see what it does to the SQ after I aquire more tips. Honestly though, I'm really thinking customs at this point, the JH-13's to be exact. I'm tired of trying Universal IEMs, they sound ok but each one I've tried is missing something.
