Strangely enough even though I felt I got a very good seal and fit ( was quite uncomfortable mind) I didn't think they isolated that well with the triple flanges, I was hoping to use them at work to block out the sound of droning machines and waffling work colleages. Oh well, tis fun to try out so many different iem's, its such a personal thing finding something that suits in the end.

Funny this 'deep fit' thing, isn't it? Personally, I love the triple flanges and the really snug secure fit of ramming them into my brain - I can walk in them and turn my head any which way but loose and the sound remains exactly the same. Plus, they block out all the noise from stupid people. But I can see how some might find that deep entry stuff a bit of a chore.
As for the sound, well again thats personal preference. Coming from the SM3s, the narrower soundstage is fefinitely noticeable, but I soon got readjusted and now I love that sense of intimacy the HF5s offer. Its nowehere near as wiiide as that "Oh hang on, I'll just get a bus over to where that cymbal is crashing so I can see if its any good" presentation of the Earsonics, or even some other iems I've tried, but thats all part of its charm, I think.
