Curious which tips owners of Sleek SA6 have been using:

-Double Flange (stock)
-Comply
-Shure Black Foam (Olive)
-Yellow Foam
-Other

I bought the medium Shure Black Foam's, but to me the bi-flangle's are more comfortable..

I use the stock tips because they're all I have, and they're comfortable enough for me. I'll probably pick up a pack of Shure Black Foam at some point though just to try.

I don't believe this is a thread jack, but which foamies are usually considered more comfortable, the Comply's or the Olive's? I just want to know which set to buy when I get my SA6.

Owned the Olives (Shure Black Foam) when I owned the se310, se420, se530.

They are comfortable, and work well for isolation.

Comphy's are good also...but they seam to get dirty quickly

Stock and large here, don't see how anything would fit better or be more comfortable.

X2 on both counts. I never could get used to the flanges. I use a medium (right) and small (left) Shure black foamie, for best fit (odd ears). Only main problem with any foamies (Shure black, Shure yellow, Comply shorts) is they tend to get really stuck onto the treble tubes. Someone, can't remember who, posted a fix...you remove the treble tube with the sleeve on it, then push the tube out the back. Otherwise, if you try to pull it apart, you could crack the tube.

I use the stock medium bi flanges, and they are awesome. I was like some of you, saying that they were not comfortable, but after a few hours of wearing, they were the most comfortable things i have ever worn, even more than my previous Ety foams.

I like the Shure yellows and the Complys equally in terms of sound, but the Complys are more comfortable for long sessions. I've never been a fan of flanges going back to my first ER4S 10 years ago, I find the tonal colour poor, and the highs rolled off, I still try them with each new IEM but have the same experience.

The fix for removing the yellow foamies is to use the inside of a ballpoint pen and insert it on the ear side to push the tube back out... it's possible to push the foamies flush with the silver ring but I find they sound better flush with the widest part of the treble port.

I mostly used the small double flange. It was the most comfortable to me. The medium double flange sounded a bit better though.

 

[FrederikS|TPU]

The medium double flange fits my ears perfectly. Tight comfortable seal.

 

[pseudohippy]

Yeah I have freak tiny ear canals. Using the small flange in the left ear is perfect but the right ear needs something even smaller. I have some small black olives on the way, is there anything else that is even smaller then those around that I buy to test out?

I like the double flange for my left ear but the right hurts to have in there. The smallest tips that came with the JVC marshmellows worked ok, are the olives similar in size to those?

Tried the stock bi-flanges, Shure black foams, Jays silicons and Jays foams and I keep coming back to the Jays silicons which give me the best isolation, comfort and bass response.

Jays silicons come in S, XS, XXS. PM me if you want and I can post you some to try as I don't use these sizes.
