Has anyone who found the SE530 to be a tricky fit--I did, with the main telltale being inconsistent soundstage--found the SE535 to be any better in this respect?

The 530s fit me fine, its the tips I had problems with.  The 535 are the same size I thought?

i sold my 530's a few years ago because they didnt isolate well for me...the 535's are dramatically better for me because they are a bit smaller but more importantly flatter to the ear creating a better seal with better isolation...love them

 Sounds great.  The right 'phone of my 530's wouldn't lay flat against the inside of my ear, for some reason.

Funnily enough, I have the opposite experience, SE530 fit well, the SE535 is comfy, lies flat on the ear, rather than in the ear, but I can not get a good seal, so no bass (well not very good anyway) and not as good at noise canceling....I have small ears, have to use the smallest olives/foams, but whatever I tried, can not get a good seal with the SE535, which are actually bigger than the SE530, what a shame, need to sort this out, as soundstage and highs are improved....but with the missing bass, it is a bit "in your face" good for calssical stuff and voices, Jazz, acoustic instruments, live recordings are even more live, but the bass is missing.....any solutions for me, except cosmetic sugery?
